                        Hard Rock Café International is apparently suing the owners and operators of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, and other users of the Hard Rock name, in an attempt to terminate licensing deals that they claim are damaging the brand’s good name. If the lawsuit’s successful, the resort-casino could be forced to change its name and re-brand.

Sept. 21, 2010 The Las Vegas Sun reports that Dolce Hotels and Resorts has been chosen by owners Village Hospitality LLC to rebrand and manage the Ritz-Carlton hotel at Lake Las Vegas, which has been closed since May. Dolce specializes in hosting meetings, weddings, and other social events. The property is due to reopen sometime in the first quarter of 2011.

                        Angel Management Group, the company that currently manages Wet Republic, Studio 54, and Tabu Ultra Lounge at MGM Grand, Rehab at the Hard Rock, and Moorea Beach at Mandalay Bay, has just announced that it’s now also taken over Vanity nightclub at the Hard Rock.

Sept. 20, 2010 Same old, same old. The latest figures from the Department of Employment, Training & Rehabilitation revealed that Nevada is still the top of the list of states with the highest unemployment rates. Although jobs were added last month in several sectors, including restaurants and construction, the loss of temporary Census and other public-sector positions led to a net decline in hiring that pushed statewide unemployment to the record level of 14.4 percent, up almost 2 percent on the same month last year.
