LAS VEGAS (AP) — The 15-month-old Guggenheim Las Vegas museum will close its doors Jan. 5, a reflection of funding troubles at its parent museum in New York.
"They are going to start changing out the art and then beyond that point, the Venetian and Guggenheim are exploring a multitude of options," Kurt Ouchida, spokesman for The Venetian hotel and casino where the museum is located, said Tuesday.
The Guggenheim museum in Las Vegas is funded and controlled by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, which earlier this year cut its hours and eliminated some administrative positions.
