If you rebuild it, they will come
Ellis Island, the resort that owns Mt. Charleston Lodge, is already setting plans in motion to find jobs for staff, moving events, and reopening the cabins after an accidental fire completely destroyed the beloved escape from the high temperatures of Las Vegas last Friday. The fire consumed the main A-frame structure of the lodge in the early morning hours, starting in storage area under the deck. Ellis Island held a job fair for employees who lost their jobs at the resort to relocate to Ellis Island or Village Pub, sister properties of the lodge, with the goal of retaining the entire team. Those who planned events at the lodge were offered a chance to move their event to another Ellis property or to another venue on Mount Charleston. Management returned deposits. The Mt. Charleston Cabins reopen on Friday, September 24, with a continental breakfast, and those staying in the event cabin receive an in-room happy hour with wine and cheese. Management is currently working on more permanent food solutions and is looking to have finalized options in the coming weeks. [EaterWire]
