Oyo Las Vegas halts alcohol sales for second time in a year
Oyo has offered no official explanation for the shutdown & is not responding to media inquiries.
The hit
Oyo Hotel & Casino has stopped selling alcohol for the second time in 12 months. The suspension began at 9am on Friday, 23 October, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Oyo has given no official explanation, & is not responding to media inquiries.
Why it matters
Losing alcohol sales is a significant blow for a casino already struggling to survive amid a damaged reputation, according to Casino.org. In August, Oyo faced criticism after listings under different names appeared on booking platforms, with critics accusing Oyo of trying to distance itself from poor reviews tied to its main brand.
The record
| Prior suspension | About 10 days in October 2025, after Oyo ended its management deal with Highgate |
|---|---|
| Cyberattack dispute | January 2025 breach exposed data of about 4,700 guests & employees, cited in the Highgate split |
| Operator change pending | August reports say Fifth Street Gaming is set to replace Paragon Gaming, pending regulatory approval |
What happens next
Watch for Oyo or Nevada regulators to confirm the cause of the suspension, & for progress on Fifth Street Gaming’s reported takeover from Paragon Gaming.
