When I walked into Hooters Casino Hotel in Las Vegas, all I could say was “wow.” It seemed like mankind’s greatest invention: Titular entertainment at a “breasteraunt” supplemented by table games.
But somehow, Hooters fell flat.
The casino is now in a Silicon valley-sized hole, in debt to the tune of $162 million and filing for bankruptcy protection earlier this month. How did this happen?
The five best reasons we can see:
1) The corporate structure is top heavy.
2) Hooters is hot shit in the Midwest, just shitty in Vegas.
3) An A in math is awesome, for a Hooters bra size, not so much.
4) Bunch of boobs in management.
5) Vegas just didn’t give a hoot.
