Kephart announces new location… soon

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 14th, 2009

Comedy Stop at the Trop proprietor Bob Kephart took out a half-page ad in the Las Vegas Review-Journal yesterday. Here’s the text, complete with photos of Drew Carey, Rosie O’Donnell, Ray Romano and other comics. In true Kephart style, the photo that was dead center (and larger than any of the other photos) was that of Kephart himself. Here’s the text:

After 18 years of dedicated service the Tropicana has decided not to renew our contract. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of our employees, comedians and loyal fans and announce that we have found a new location.

We will be announcing that location shortly.

Of course, he probably hasn’t secured a location yet. Considering that he spent a few thousand dollars on the ad, it wouldn’t make sense to spend all that jack and not announce the new location simultaneously. What he’s done is purchase a wildly expensive announcement that he’s out of business. Hmmm… Perhaps not the best use of resources.
