In January 2006, it was announced that the Lady Luck would close within a month for a year-long remodeling. The venerable downtown hotel-casino, which opened in 1964, did indeed shut down on Feb. 11, though details of the plans for it were, and still are, a bit sketchy.
We gave a call and found out that the hotel is slated to reopen in December 2007, a year or so behind the original schedule. The whole property is being renovated, with "all-new everything" inside and out. Though early speculation had it that the hotel would be converted to condominiums, the new Lady Luck, apparently, will remain a hotel-casino, with two new parking garages.
