While Lure nightclub downtown waits to hear what its fate holds, the urban-themed Thursday night parties there, Red Hott Thursdays, will wrap up Aug. 26.

It's dubbed the This is It grand finale, and they say they're "going out with a bang."

Certainly, the irony there is intentional.

Lure is one of a handful of downtown nightclubs to come under fire recently over gunfire associated with the nightclubs.

Doors are at 9 p.m. for This is It, and women get in free until 11 p.m.

Lure general manager Rob Olsen says the company behind the Red Hott Thursdays promotions, Liquid Assets, opted out of the club because of the bad publicity surrounding it lately. But he adds if Lure survives its Aug. 27 hearing over its liquor license, Red Hott Thursdays could return, and possibly under a different name.
