Moonshine Flats Is Coming to Durango, AmeriCAN Closes

AmeriCAN Beer & Cocktails at Treasure Island closed about two weeks ago. The bar, which operated for less than eight months, served cans, tallboys and draft beers from nearly every state.

Groundbreaking has taken place for the expansion of San Diego's famous country venue, Moonshine Flats, at Durango Casino & Resort. The two-story venue, expected to open in 18 months, will cover 29,000 square feet. It will include a concert stage, a dance floor, VIP areas and five separate bars. Operated by Station Casinos and Good Time Designed, the venue will also feature a gaming floor, a retail area, a grab-and-go food counter and an outdoor terrace.

Live entertainment is returning to Primm after the Primm Valley Resort reopened earlier this summer. The casino's first concert and comedy lineup starts this month.

Las Vegas police arrested Hyland Harper (40) of Dallas in connection with the stabbing death of a man outside the Cork and Thorn bar on September 26. Police say two men argued inside the bar over a reserved seat, and Harper was removed from the bar. Surveillance footage allegedly shows Harper stabbing Jamaal Gaither (48) outside at around 3:00 a.m. Gaither died at the hospital. Harper will appear before a judge at the Las Vegas Justice Court on Saturday, November 14.

The Japan-inspired cocktail bar Pachi-Pachi has temporarily closed due to a change of ownership. Starting in December, Twenty4 Hospitality Group will take over the business together with local restaurant owners. No reopening date has been announced. In Downtown, the Pink Monkey nightclub, which opened in the former La Mona Rosa space, has become a new concept that Corner Bar Management found more profitable.
