Well, at least it can say it lasted for as long as it did.

Jillian’s, the two-story restaurant/bar/bowling alley/concert venue/adult Chuck E. Cheese — about the only moderately successful business located in the financial hell-hole that is Neonopolis — succumbed Friday to the financial quicksand that’s swallowing Las Vegas’ off-Strip arts and entertainment infrastructure.

According to management, the megalo-restaurant-entertainment-whatever shut its doors Friday, ending the establishment’s six years operating inside the downtown mall. While no official statement has be made by Jillian’s management as of yet, the economic slowdown currently killing off dining establishments and live entertainment more than likely played a factor in the shutdown.

But what Jillian’s closure leaves behind — besides personal memories of the restaurant’s awesome nachos, gumbo and maybe one of the best BLTs I have ever had — is a seemingly unfillable gap in the city’s all-ages local music scene. Since at least 2004, Jillian’s has filled a niche in local music that has been all but eliminated thanks to a series of arcane laws meant to quell the possibility of “dance halls” breaking out all over the city and getting too close (at least 1,000 feet) to bar.

Two final shows at the former restaurant happening Thursday with Bring Me The Horizon, Misery Signals, The Ghost Inside, The Seventh Plague, and Friday with local punk act The Kurgans, Malus Rex, 16HoursRemain, Cable TV, Shattered Wings and more are still set to go on, but after that, the 25,000-square-foot joint will be shuttered indefinitely, becoming yet another tombstone to a graveyard of local all-ages venues that have come and now gone.
