On the bar's Facebook page, which is under the new name of 'SBLV Ultra Lounge,' as bestowed by 'Bar Rescue' (the 'SB' stands for South Beach), the owners posted earlier this week that they're actually preparing a lawsuit against the producers. In the case of Gypsy, which apparently was the first full-fledged gay bar in Las Vegas, the owners and staff felt that the stage and sound system were key among elements needing an update, but claim that instead all they got was a cursory lick of paint and some cheap cosmetic improvements for the camera, not the substantial investment in new equipment that they claim was promised. Our understanding is that Spike TV's 'Bar Rescue' has budget of $10.000 per venue/show to complete whatever renovations Jon Taffer and his team of experts deem necessary to make a place financial viable.
