LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- The Playboy Club, a fixture of the club scene at the Palms in Las Vegas for six years, will close for undisclosed reasons, the resort said Friday.

"After a strong six-year run, The Palms Casino Resort and Playboy Enterprises will end their partnership in early June and each pursue new brand opportunities in Las Vegas nightlife," The Palms said in a statement. "The Palms and Playboy Enterprises have shared a great relationship and wish each other future success."

A Palms spokesman declined to comment on how many employees would be affected and what the Playboy Club space will be converted to. No word yet on whether Playboy Enterprises plans to open a new club elsewhere in Las Vegas.
