Hotel San Remo, Las Vegas, Bella Ladies V-Neck Tee

Description

The Hotel San Remo opened on July 1, 1989, at 115 East Tropicana Avenue, just east of the Las Vegas Strip. Developed by Japanese businessman Sukeaki Izumi, the San Remo replaced the Polynesian-themed resort that once occupied the site. With 711 rooms and a modest casino floor, the San Remo positioned itself as a mid-sized alternative to the megaresorts then rising along the Strip, offering intimacy, affordability, and an unmistakable Italian Riviera flair. From the start, the San Remo leaned heavily into its European identity. Its décor blended warm Mediterranean colors, elegant chandeliers, and subtle nods to coastal Italy. The resort’s restaurants carried the theme as well, with menus inspired by Italian cuisine alongside approachable American fare. Guests often remarked on the property’s personalized hospitality, which contrasted sharply with the sprawling anonymity of larger casinos nearby. The San Remo was also home to a 15,000-square-foot casino, smaller than its competitors but lively and welcoming to locals and tourists alike. Slot machines and table games lined the compact floor, while intimate lounges provided live music and casual entertainment. The property’s showroom frequently hosted variety acts, magicians, and comedians, further cementing its identity as a neighborhood-style Strip resort. Though not as flashy as its neighbors, the San Remo gained a loyal following among value-oriented travelers. Its location—within walking distance of the Strip but tucked just enough away—made it popular with repeat visitors who preferred a quieter atmosphere. By the late 1990s and early 2000s, however, the San Remo struggled to compete with the era’s booming megaresorts. Despite attempts to renovate and refresh its offerings, the property faced financial pressures. In 2004, a partnership with Hooters of America set the stage for a full rebrand. The San Remo officially closed in 2006, transforming into the Hooters Casino Hotel, ending nearly two decades of its Italian-inspired run.
