Ever hear of Oyo Hotels? If our sources are right, you’re about to.<\/p>\n

We’ve learned exclusively Hooters Casino is now under contract with hotel operator Highgate and the company plans to make Hooters Las Vegas an Oyo brand hotel.<\/p>\n

Our sources say the Hooters restaurant at Hooters hotel-casino will close after the hotel rebrands. The Hooters restaurant inside the Hooters resort is said to be the most profitable in the company’s entire chain.<\/p>\n

\"Oyo
We’re fairly sure “OYO” stands for “on your own.” Related: Once you see the face, you can’t unsee it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Highgate Hotels is a real estate investment and hospitality management company, also involved with the Westin and Renaissance hotels in Las Vegas. The company operates more than 100 hotels around the world. Learn more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oyo is a rapidly-expanding Indian budget hotel company which recently entered the U.S. market<\/a> in Dallas, San Antonio and Houston. It now appears the company has its sights set on Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Oyo describes itself as “the world’s fastest growing company and world’s sixth largest chain of operated hotels, homes, managed living and workspaces.”<\/p>\n

The company’s portfolio boasts more than 23,000 hotels in 800 cities in 18 countries. Combined, the company has more than 330,000 rooms. See more.<\/p>\n

This is the Oyo business model: Oyo partners with existing hotels, rebrands them as Oyo franchises and streamlines booking, pricing and technology services. It then gets a percentage of the hotel’s monthly revenue.<\/p>\n

The company reports occupancy increases of 30-40% at Oyo hotels, and revenue increases of as much as 60%, which would be welcomed by the owners of Hooters, of course.<\/p>\n

Hooters is owned by Trinity Hotel Investors and operated by Paragon Gaming.<\/p>\n

\"Oyo
You go, palindrome?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The arrival of Oyo in Las Vegas could bring some drama along with it, as the company’s founder and CEO, 25-year-old Ritesh Agarwal, is not controversy-free. Let’s just say gaming regulators aren’t big fans of controversy. Get details<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hooters has been known by a lot of names, so if it’s rebranded to Oyo, it’ll join this long list of past names: Paradise, Treasury, Pacifica, Polynesian and Hotel San Remo. There will be a quiz.<\/p>\n

Details about these moves at Hooters are scant at the moment, but that’s never stopped us from passing along scoop before!<\/p>\n

You’ll hear more when we do.<\/p>\n

Update (8\/6\/19): Here’s our take on Channel 8.<\/p>\n

Update (8\/17\/19): We’re now hearing the Hooters rebrand to Oyo will happen Sep. 16, 2019.<\/p>\n

Update (8\/23\/19): As if we weren’t already unbearable enough, our story has been confirmed<\/a>. Oyo has acquired Hooters hotel for a reported $135 million and will be rebranded Oyo Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. Highgate will manage the hotel and Paragon Gaming will continue to operate the resort’s casino. Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
