Fitz and Rainbow Bridge Construction

A tipster told me he walked into the Fitz today to see what - if anything - was going on and was surprised to see the gaming floors (both 1 and 2) all torn up with yellow tape everywhere. An employee told him that it has been that way for 2 weeks. New owners were apparently allowed to jump the gun, and are already deep into changing out many old slots and replacing them with new machines. They are apparently also going to “update some signs” on the interior according to the employee. A week or so ago, he also happened to note three elevator service trucks in the alley - so the owners may also not waste much time getting the elevators “speeded up” - however that is done. He then checked out a couple of hotel floors and was surprised to see carpet and wall treatments that looked fairly new.
Also, an update for those who have been asking about the rainbow bridge (Justin) everything is now out of the rainbow bridge - including windows, floor, roof, neon signs, and parts of the side walls - and all that seems to remain is cutting it down and removing it.
