In this week's episode of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer and crew are once again in Las Vegas, Nevada to rescue Badlands Saloon. Badlands Saloon is one of the oldest gay bars in Las Vegas and has been around for about 30 years. The current owners bought the bar in January 2019 and they flourished at first. Then the pandemic hit, and the bar had to close for six months and the staff was furloughed. Badlands Saloon was losing $5,000 to $10,000 a month and they were unable to have their normal entertainment due to capacity restrictions.
Positive Reviews:
- "Welllllll about 3 hours in I turned and had a revaluation that I landed myself in a kind of bar that I’d never been in before and ladies for the memories I say thank you for helping me attempt to shut Vegas down tonight. Decent drink prices I had a jack and coke single as usual and was $6.73. Amazing atmosphere actually!!!! Goodnight Vegas"
Negative Reviews:

Conclusion:
Jon Taffer decided to keep the name of Badlands Saloon and there has only been one review of the bar since the makeover, which was positive. The makeover was just two months ago, so with limited reviews it was hard to get an idea of how the bar has been doing. A recent local news story that featured Badlands Saloon said business has improved with the summer months and with Price celebrations. Like other bars this season, as tourism picks up in Las Vegas, the bar business should also improve.
