Clermont Watch

Remember that the Clermont Hotel has been bought and the new owners plan to turn it into a boutique hotel? Well, the iconic strip club housed in its basement— that's the Clermont Lounge— is safe for another "several" years, until lease runs out. The Lounge will operate separately from the hotel, which will also have a rooftop bar, reportedly with a beer garden, as well as a lounge and restaurant. [ABC (subscription-only) via Reddit]
