The baseball seams on the ceiling are one of the few reminders Pete Rose was ever involved with the restaurant. They’ll be painted over soon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhile we haven’t heard from anyone at HIG Management, the company that operates the restaurant (and which was involved with the defunct F.A.M.E. at the Linq promenade), we can take a pretty good stab at what the official statement will be. It’s Las Vegas, after all.<\/p>\n
“We can confirm Pete Rose is no longer involved with our bar and restaurant. Pete Rose is a baseball legend, and our relationship has been a mutually beneficial one. However, in reviewing our business needs and licensing agreements, we’ve made the difficult, mutual decision to discontinue our collaboration on this project. We wish Pete Rose the best in all his future endeavors.”<\/p>\n
Las Vegas translation: “The business hasn’t doing all that well, and having Pete Rose’s name slapped on it wasn’t a big draw, so why are we paying these licensing fees?” Or something along those lines. It happens.<\/p>\n
The bottom line is Pete Rose is out, but the bar and restaurant will continue to operate. Staff believe a new concept is in the works, although no specifics are available at this time.<\/p>\n
Virtually all traces of Pete Rose are gone at the establishment, including all the memorabilia, presumably from Pete Rose’s private collection.<\/p>\nThis case was once full of autographed baseballs, bats and other Pete Rose memorabilia. Now, not so much.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe Pete Rose-inspired menus remain intact, but not for long.<\/p>\n
Also gone is the throne made with bats (67 to be exact) made in Pete Rose’s honor by one of venue’s bartenders.<\/p>\nWe’re curious where this ended up. It was a popular photo op.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIf we hear anything official about all this, we’ll certainly pass it along.<\/p>\n
