The casino and Playboy Enterprises said in March that the closure was amicable, and that the parties planned to "pursue new brand opportunities in Las Vegas nightlife."
The Playboy Club at the Palms opened in October 2006, with women dressed in bunnies dealing cards. At the time, it was the first Playboy Club to open since 1988, when patriarch Hugh Hefner closed the last one in Lansing, Michigan. Others have since opened in Macau, Cancun and London.
