The 328-room hotel-casino will remain open during the renovations. In 2013, it was rebranded to Silver Sevens. More than a decade later, the property received $7 million in renovation upgrades, Review-Journal archives show. It opened in 2000 as the remodeled Terrible’s hotel-casino and was a popular locals spot. A bankruptcy forced it to close its doors in 1999 and the Herbst family bought it that year.

The property at 4100 Paradise Road opened in 1981 as the Continental hotel-casino.

Scrivens declined to share how much the company expects to spend. Other property improvements will include a new bar, upgrades on the gaming floor, additional food outlets and enhancing the building facade. “We think whatever fond memories of that Pink Taco experience – after having survived a couple of margaritas – whatever memories remain are very fond and we think that brand will resonate with a new crowd drawn in by an authentic, unfiltered vibe,” he said.

Scrivens said they sought out the restaurant because they wanted to bring back a favorite happy hour spot for locals. The locally founded restaurant was in the Hard Rock, now Virgin, hotel-casino until 2017 and now has five locations, including a Times Square location that opened in April. “It’s always been known for fun, being exciting and approachable.”Ĭentral to the renovation is a plan to build a roughly 10,000-square-foot rooftop bar and lounge on the porte cochere, bringing the Mexican restaurant Pink Taco back to the Las Vegas market. “The vision for the renovation is really to elevate the property while embracing its history,” CEO Andrei Scrivens said in an interview.
