Fifth Street Gaming Taking Over Paragon at OYO Following Scandal Involving Fake Hotel Listings

Fifth Street Gaming to Take Over Casino Operations at Oyo Hotel & Casino Las Vegas

The Oyo Hotel & Casino Las Vegas opened in the former Hooters Casino Hotel space in September 2019. Since it sits directly adjacent to the A’s stadium construction site (the former Tropicana), its land value is expected to balloon once the stadium opens. (Image: Shutterstock)

Paragon Gaming, the previous management license holder for the casino, decided to step away due to a public relations controversy involving Oyo. Oyo used non-existent hotels and AI-generated marketing materials to hide the property’s identity on major travel booking platforms, resulting in poor user ratings.

The fake hotel listings, Palette and Collection O, trademarked by PRISM, were removed from booking platforms after being exposed by Casino.org and other media outlets. According to Vital Vegas, no one wants to risk their gaming license over the scandal.

Fifth Street, known for managing the Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, will take over the operations at Oyo. It is expected to remain fully operational during this transition.

New Ownership for Oyo

Oyo Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, previously managed by Paragon Gaming, will now be operated by Fifth Street Gaming. This transition comes following previous controversies and incidents at the property.
