LAS VEGAS (AP) – The dancing continued even when the alcohol stopped over the weekend at the Crazy Horse Too.
The well-known strip club just off the Las Vegas Strip has become a juice bar after months of wrangling with courts and the city — and a failed sale.
The current manager — Michael Signorelli — took over after long-time owner Rick Rizzolo was sentenced to federal prison for tax evasion and agreed to sell his interest in the club.
That plea deal also involved 16 other employees. It ended a decade-long federal probe of whether the club had ties to the mob.
Part of the deal calls for 10 Million from the sale to to go to a tourist from Olathe, Kansas — Kirk Henry — who claimed he was paralyzed when he was beaten and left with a broken neck outside the club in September 2001.
Henry’s Las Vegas lawyer has complained that the delay selling the club is delaying payment to Henry.
