Parliament House was a gay resort on the

one-person show called "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch" at Parliament House in 2013.[8] On July 25, 2014, the resort filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, with $12.4 million in debts and nearly $4 million in assets.[9] In February 2015, a fourteen-million-dollar debt relief plan was approved by the relevant parties.[10] In 2019, NewNowNext declared Parliament House the most popular gay bar in the United States.[11]

Parliament House Resort was the only remaining motor inn from the Parliament House Motor Inn chain. It closed on November 2, 2020, and demolition began on the complex on January 4, 2021.

Decline and closure

Parliament House saw a decline in condition, service and patronage in its final years. As of March 2019, the property was listed for sale at $16.5 million.[citation needed] On October 28, 2020, Parliament House's owners announced that they had been unable to secure financing to renovate the existing venue and that it would close on November 2. They further stated: "In the coming weeks, we'll reveal our plans for the immediate future.... This is by no means goodbye. We promise to keep you updated about our grand re-opening."[12]
