tom says about Il Casino

Il Casino closed for renovations in April 2006, and while the illness and recent death of its legendary owner Remiro Bresolin led to the sale of the site, there is still a chance that it could eventually reopen.

tom says about Masi

Masi closed in late 2006, due to the demolition of the Malthouse building. It's apparently looking for a new location, but as of February 2006 there's no word on where it will be.
