Carlos ’n Charlie’s, the boisterous Mexican restaurant in the Flamingo on the Las Vegas Strip, will close Nov. 18 after more than a dozen years in business. The restaurant opened at the property in April 2012. Seventy-nine people are losing their jobs.
Carlos ’n Charlie’s informed Nevada employment officials of the closing and job losses in a Sept. 17 letter as required by the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.
The letter said that because the landlord was “forcing the Company out of the leased premises to make changes in the leased area, the Company has lost all ability to conduct business, resulting in the decision to permanently lay off its employees.” The letter also said the lease contained an early termination clause.
