Rapper’s nightclub in Las Vegas closes its doors.

The rumored deal involving a Sands Corp. takeover of Jay-Z’s 40/40 club in Vegas for even more millions than he could ever spend is complete. But rather than expanding the 40/40 as part of its casino and hotel property empire, as previously reported, Sands is eager to recycle the 24,000 square feet that 40/40 occupied in the Palazzo Hotel Casino for its own purposes. Open for just nine months, the Nevada location reportedly shut down last week and will now be renovated into more casino space.

He’s reportedly planning to recruit from hundreds of other club workers who may want to join the lawsuit.
