Rendezvous Casino Nears Bankruptcy in Las Vegas
The Rendezvous casino and hotel on downtown Las Vegas’s Fourth and Ogden streets faces possible closure by December 30 unless operator Arthur Shenker finds about $750,000 to keep it afloat during reorganization. An audit found heavy losses, payroll checks bounced, and large vendor debts, with Gaming Control Board scrutiny and potential license action if payroll or finances fail to improve. Shenker and his investors seek refinancing while considering remodeling moves and staff payout remedies.
