Item 1.02.  Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 23, 2011, Tropicana Las Vegas, Inc. (the “Company”) terminated the Management Agreement, dated April 14, 2010 (the “Management Agreement”), among  the Company, Nikki Beach Las Vegas LLC (“NBLV”) and Penrod Management Group, Inc. (“Penrod”).  Prior to the termination, NBLV and Penrod managed the Nikki Beach nightclub and beach club (the “Clubs”) at the Company’s hotel and casino pursuant to the Management Agreement.  The Company terminated the Management Agreement due to the failure by NBLV to comply with and perform the covenants, agreements, terms and conditions set forth therein, and NBLV’s repudiation of its contractual obligation to achieve a targeted “net income” for the Clubs.  The termination was effective immediately, and NBLV and Penrod ceased management of the Clubs as of September 23, 2011.  Following the termination, the Company has taken over management of the Clubs.
