From the Las Vegas Sun:
In the former 14-screen, 80,000-square-foot Galaxy 11 multiplex movie theater on the third floor of Neonopolis, on the northwest corner of Fremont Street and Las Vegas Boulevard, Krave owner Kelly Murphy said he expected to open the “world’s largest gay nightclub,” calling it Krave Massive, in December.The opening of Krave Massive will precipitate a closing of the existing Krave nightclub, Murphy said.
Plans call for a main dance floor, a hip-hop room, a Latin room, country-western room, space for gay comedy club (Tickled Pink), space for a performing arts center, a movie theater and martini lounge.
Kelly Murphy (Copa, Boys Lounge, Krave, Drink & Drag) employs Robert E. Atkinson as his attorney. So Atkinson has a vested business interest in Kelly doing well. Kelly does well, Atkinson keeps his revenue stream going. Murphy and Atkinson are tied together in the business world.
ReplyDeleteMurphy is a felon – convicted and sentenced to prison for bank fraud and still owes more than $75,000 in restitution as a result of his sentencing. Atkinson still owes the IRS more than $45,000 in payment from seven years ago to settle a tax lien in Washington, DC. So they've got that in common, too.
And now, they're tied together on an eviction notice that was taped to the front door of Copa. Both Murphy's and Atkinson's names were on that eviction order.
Not doing so well.
This isn't Murphy's first rodeo. His Boys Lounge club also been evicted from their location. That's two evictions". He's been unable to open his LGBT nightclub, Krave Massive, due to lack of funding and has somehow finagled his way into an agreement with Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino to open “Krave Rio” there!. How a felon with a past like Kelly Murphy's can get a casino to go into business with him is beyond me".
Atkinson also helps Murphy by doing things like recruiting people and companies as "straw men" to use them to arrange for things like getting liquor licenses for Murphy, who is unable to legally obtain a such a license under Nevada state law because of his past felony conviction'.
