Hooters Casino Hotel, Casino hotel near Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada
Hooters Casino Hotel is a casino hotel at 115 East Tropicana Avenue in Paradise, Nevada, east of the Las Vegas Strip. It has 696 rooms in two towers: the original 10-story building and an 18-story addition from 1991. The casino covers 30,000 square feet, with slot machines and table games under exposed silver ventilation ducts and dark beams above a dark red carpet patterned with lighter red and tan circles. A pale grey and white sign tower carries the Hooters name in red letters above a large video screen.
