I am not a bar person in a town with free drinks everywhere. However, this will impact that section of Ogden between the Gold Spike and the El Cortez, putting more security and more people in that block. I like that. I am never worried there as it has improved greatly since the old hooker hotels have morphed into pools and Cabana rooms, but the more activity there, the better. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/jan/08/joe-downtown-bar-contemplated-ogden/
I agree, Dewey. The Ogden is an odd building given the location but I imagine it will be full after Zappo's opens.
