Kelly Murphy
Boys Lounge, Eviciton Notice

Usually, you don't get evicted from a place before you actually open the doors. Not Kelly Murphy and Boys Lounge. Boys Lounge had been under construction for forever, it seems like. It was supposed to open back in September.
But the doors never opened, and it doesn't look like they will. The eviction notice that is taped to the front door of the unopened club tells the story. It's there in full display, right on the front door for all to see.

This isn't Kelly Murphy's first eviction from a property, either. He and another one of his clubs, Copa Copa Bar Grill and Entertainment at Town Square, also was shut down. Same deal — an eviction notice was taped to their front door, too. That was earlier this year. Murphy and partner Sia Amiri were in default on $50,000 in payment to TSLV, LLC — their landlord.

This is just the latest in a long line of shady business practices by Kelly and his merry gang of cohorts. Copa - shuttered, Kelly evicted. Boys Lounge shut down, Kelly evicted. Krave Massive - in deep trouble with Kelly and partners some $80,000 in the hole in their effort to try to reopen it. Drink & Drag - Kelly's only currently opened LGBT venture - bounced employee checks. Everything that Kelly touches seems to turn to... Well, I won't use that word, but it certainly isn't gold. Far from it.

Boys Lounge was supposed to be an LGBT social gathering spot and the first LGBT non-smoking venue in Las Vegas. Before eviction in its prime location — in the historic Las Vegas Fruitloop — Boys Lounge was envisioned as a "sexy gay ultra-lounge will be an artsy, urban facility with featured artwork by Tim Burton, Dr. Seuss, and David Bowie" with state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems. Well, it is no more. I'm sure Burton, Bowie and Dr. Seuss's estate are crushed. Kelly has risen
from the ashes before, to wit, his emergence from prison to becoming a proprietor of business ventures catering to the LGBT crowd.

I, and others, will definitely be keeping an eye on him, and will shine the light everywhere he doesn't want it shined.
