There will be a "Last Dance" closing event on Sunday November 1. The owners say they will relocate. One news report speculates where, perhaps as a bar/club only – no "resort" rooms, no pool – in the downtown Church Street area among others.

FurBubba Usergroup: Member Joined: May 20, 2018 Total Listings: -2 Total Reviews: 286 Report	Posted Oct 21 2020: In an ongoing story, this historic gay resort's property was sold in February, 2020 although the Parliament House owner was allowed to rent the location and continue to operate. Continuing developments include a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by the owner to avoid repossession by a lender. The resort had previously filed bankruptcy on 2014 and has faced many rumors of closure over the years. The owner vows to remain open. Unrelated but notable, two violent incidents included an April murder here of an employee by his partner in a domestic dispute. In May, two other men were shot but survived. Both cases resulted in arrests.

Report	Posted Aug 16 2019: Parliament House is for sale. It's reported that the owner wants to keep it open as a resort under a lease-back agreement. The proceeds of the sale would allow him to resume development of a neighboring timeshare property.

The cook is a alcoholic. He's been beat up there by clients several times due to his drunkard behavior. Want to get hustled? This is the place to go. Go to Club Orlando instead and save money.

Report	Posted Aug 01 2014: This place has been famous (or infamous) for years. I'm surprised to see it added to the site only now. There's news reports that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy but will remain in business while trying to restructure debts: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/bus...cy-20140725,0,4078538.post Edited on 08/06/14
