The Cup Shutters at Crystals
With three Starbucks and a Roasted Bean all within a few minutes walk, it wasn't hard to see where this one was going. Crystals' original coffee shop, The Cup, has folded.
Recently, CityCenter debuted three new Starbucks and one was just a short escalator ride away from The Cup. (It replaced the closed Pods by Wolfgang Puck.) Another Starbucks opened inside Aria (where you can find the Roasted Bean as well) while a third now can be found alongside the Strip, just in front of Mandarin Oriental.
And, that's not counting the Starbucks you can find next door at Monte Carlo. Or, the coffee you can order up at the Jean Philippe Patisseries you can find inside both Aria and Bellagio. Or, the cup of Joe you can grab at Va Bene Caffe inside The Cosmo. Or...
RIP "The Cup" at @crystalslv :(twitpic.com/cq5qtr

Gold Spike Slips Quietly Into Vegas History
It wasn't always known as the Gold Spike, but after 37 years of operation under one name or another the long-running, just off Fremont Street hotel-casino closed at 3 p.m. on Sunday. The Gold Spike's final weekend, from most accounts, an unremarkable one. A last hurrah attended not by hordes but a history lovin' few.
VegasChatter friend Danial Mente stopped by for one last toast on Saturday night and reported a "very quiet" atmosphere that was "very sad" and "depressing." Some of the photos he took are shared here on this page.
Danial relays that a waitress told him staff were given only three days notice and that they were losing their jobs. It had been previously reported by the Vegas press that both Gold Spike's outgoing and incoming owners were trying to find replacement positions for staff.

Gold Spike Sold, Closing This Weekend
All signs pointed to it. Now, it's confirmed. The Gold Spike is shutting down.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal just broke the news that the downtown casino-hotel has been sold to Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh's Downtown Project "for an undisclosed amount" and will officially close this Sunday at 3 p.m.
At this time, there's no word on what guests with future reservations will be told nor is it known what Downtown Project has in store for the property.
April 12 Update: VegasChatter fan Ron A. let us know that Gold Spike is offering stays at its sister properties, The Artisan, The Rumor or the Resort at Mount Charleston, as alternative locations for guests holding future reservations.
Also Just In: Gold Spike will host a final "Thank You" bash this Sunday, April 14 from noon to 3 p.m. All bar drinks will be $1 and a 50 percent discount will be offered on food at the Golden Grill. There will also be cash and Gold Spike swag giveaways as well.

Queen Victoria Pub Closing at the Riv
For better or worse, Queen Victoria inside the Riv is authentically English, and this from a certified Brit. But, could one of Vegas' most popular pubs, or at least most remembered when polling season rolls around, be on the verge of closing?
The answer is yes. A commenter on a Las Vegas Advisor message board heard it direct from staff yesterday:

Confirmed: Tabu Closing at MGM Grand
A few months ago, we wondered if Tabu was next for a Grand Renovation. Today, MGM Grand confirmed it.
VegasChatter fan @JoshTheWeaver first tweeted us news about the closure in November. At the time, MGM said there was nothing official to share. That changed earlier today when they sent out a brief, two-line announcement regarding its end:
Tabú, the boutique nightclub at MGM Grand, will close effective Saturday, April 6. The last night of operation will be Friday, April 5 and more details about the space will be released in the near future.

At Venetian and Palazzo: First, Rattlecan Close, The Party Is Still On For Act
The Vegas Twitterverse imploded earlier today with talk of the sudden closures of First, Rattlecan (pictured above) and The Act at Venetian/Palazzo. When the rumors settled, two of the three were accurate.
A spokesperson for First Food & Bar and Rattlecan, both concepts by Chef Sammy DeMarco, released this statement in response to the chatter:

The Show Won't Go On For Rio's Show In The Sky
One of city's longest-running free attractions is about to become a piece of Lost Vegas.
Rio's Show In The Sky will mark its final performance on Saturday, March 30 at 11 p.m. Reps aren't saying why it's being shuttered, but we do know that the cast was informed last night. Show in the Sky has been a part of many a Vegas must-do list for some 16 years now. We hear that it's suffered cutbacks in both crew, performers and nights leading up to this news.

What's Happening Around Downtown's Western Casino?
Hmmm, is downtown's defunct Western Casino playing possum or a potential phoenix in the making? There are a couple of reasons you might be keeping tabs on the place in your future visits to the area.
A hangover from the old days of Downtown Vegas, long before Fremont East was the hip place to visit, the Western Casino was by all counts, funky. While only a couple of blocks from the El Cortez, the area and clientele were often by most accounts we'd heard sketchy. When it closed in January 2012, other than those who enjoyed the very cheap booze, few missed it. And, it has lain dormant ever since.

Another MGM Restaurant To Shutter Soon
As we suspected, MGM Grand won't have two Michael Mina pub/tavern-themed restaurants.
Last year, Mina's SEABLUE restaurant at MGM closed to make way for a new concept by the celebrity chef, PUB 1842, expected to open sometime this summer. Now, thanks to VegasChatter fan Jack K., we can confirm that his other MGM restaurant, NOBHILL TAVERN, will, indeed, shutter. Jack reports that while dining at NOBHILL over the weekend, a waitress informed him that the restaurant will close in April. From the sounds of it, another Mina concept will not be slated for the space.
