Just officially announced. Besh Steak House will remain, but “will soon have a new name.”

The article notes the employees are Harrahs employees, so it's likely the only thing BRG did here was license the Besh name. If true, the transition is quick and easy.
Gordon Ramsay was rumored to be looking for a place in town. Ramsay has a few casino restaurants already so Harrahs fits the mold...

John Besh's statement:
"Two years ago, I deeply hurt those I love by thoughtlessly engaging in a consensual relationship with one member of my team. Since then I have been seeking to rebuild my marriage and come to terms with my reckless actions given the profound love I have for my wife, my boys and my Catholic faith. I also regret any harm this may have caused to my second family at the restaurant group, and sincerely apologize to anyone past and present who has worked for me who found my behavior as unacceptable as I do.
"I alone am entirely responsible for my moral failings. This is not the way the head of a company like ours should have acted, let alone a husband and father. But it should not taint our incredible team of more than 1,000 employees, nor undermine our unyielding commitment to treating everyone with respect and dignity, regardless of gender, race, age and sexual preference."
Statement from Raymond Landry, Besh Restaurant Group's general counsel:
"We have learned recently that a number of women in our company feel that we have not had a clear mechanism in place to allow them to voice concerns about receiving the respect they deserve on the job. I want to assure all of our employees that if even a single person feels this way, it is one person too many and that ends now.
"While we've had a complaint procedure in place that complies with all existing laws, we now recognize that, as a practical matter, we needed to do more than what the law requires and we have revamped our training, education and procedures accordingly. Now that we have learned of these concerns, we believe going forward that everyone at our company will be fully aware of the clear procedures that are now in place to safeguard against anyone feeling that his or her concerns will not be heard and addressed free from retaliation."

Well the fact that Harrahs controlled the entire restaurant and just had his name on it. Explains a lot about why that restaurant had always just been ok...
