Ojos Locos Sports Cantina Y Casino to Open Feb. 6 in North Las Vegas
January 31, 2023
NORTH LAS VEGAS – Ojos Locos Sports Cantina Y Casino and the newly rebranded Hotel Jefe will officially make their public debut on Feb. 6. A collaboration between Las Vegas-based Fifth Street Gaming (FSG) and Dallas-based Ojos Locos Sports Cantina, the newly renovated gaming and entertainment destination represents the first U.S. hotel-casino dedicated to the Latino community. Replacing the Lucky Club Hotel & Casino at 3227 Civic Center Drive in North Las Vegas, the completely reimagined resort features Ojos Locos Sports Cantina as its dining, entertainment and nightlife centerpiece.
Ojos Locos Sports Cantina Y Casino encompasses a 10,000-square-foot casino and an expansive restaurant able to accommodate nearly 300 guests. The new interior elements offer a rustic welcoming vibe, with décor dominated by whitewashed, reclaimed wood and corrugated tin roofs reminiscent of the beachside bars typically seen at Mexico’s coastal resorts. An enormous video poker bar with 35 seats greets guests upon entry, and Ojos Locos’ famous “chicas”—the venue’s cocktail servers and bartenders—bring “fun and fiesta” to the atmosphere. Thanks to their warm hospitality along with 200 new slot and gaming machines, the all-new JefeBet Rewards program, a brand-new sports book and 90 TV screens throughout the property’s dining, gaming and entertainment areas, Ojos Locos Sports Cantina Y Casino will become the region’s most desirable destination for both casino gaming and sports viewing.
At the adjacent Hotel Jefe, a Fifth Street Gaming property, all 90 rooms and suites are in the midst of a major renovation, with approximately 40 percent completed and the remainder scheduled to be finished by the conclusion of 2023. New elements include brightly colored accent walls and artwork, luxurious bedding and sleek, contemporary bathrooms featuring decorative tile work in white-and-gold or gray-and-white palettes.
“After two years of planning and collaboration, we are overjoyed to introduce this new gaming and entertainment destination catering to the Latino community,” said Seth Schorr, chief executive officer of Fifth Street Gaming. “We are grateful to Ojos Locos for joining us in this endeavor and to our valued customers whose enthusiasm inspired us to create a development just for them.”
“We are excited and honored to collaborate with Fifth Street Gaming on this flagship location, allowing us to bring the first-ever Ojos gaming experience to market,” added Laura Caudillo, vice president of growth at Ojos Locos Sports Cantina. “We look forward to welcoming the Latino community with our excellent service, delicious food and fun-filled atmosphere.”
