Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

     As previously reported, on January 31, 2009:

	•		FX Luxury, LLC ( “FXLR ”), a subsidiary of FX Real Estate and Entertainment, Inc. (the “ Company ”), received a notice of default from Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. (“ EPE ”) informing FXLR that it is in default of Section 7.08 of the license agreement between FXLR and EPE due to FXLR’s failure to make the guaranteed annual minimum royalty payment for the calendar year ended December 31, 2008 in the amount of $9.0 million by the January 30, 2009 deadline; and
	•		FXLR received a notice of default from Muhammad Ali Enterprises, LLC (“ MAE ”) informing FXLR that it is in default of Section 7.08 of the license agreement between FXLR and MAE due to FXLR’s failure to make the guaranteed annual minimum royalty payment for the calendar year ended December 31, 2008 in the amount of $1.0 million by the January 30, 2009 deadline.

     On March 9, 2009, following FXLR’s failure to make such $10 million annual guaranteed minimum royalty payments for 2008 to EPE and MAE, FXLR and the Company entered into a Termination, Settlement and Release Agreement with EPE and MAE, pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the EPE and MAE license agreements and to release each other from all claims related to or arising from such license agreements.

     In consideration for releasing FXLR and the Company from any claims related to the license agreements, EPE and MAE will receive 10% of any future net proceeds or fees received by the Company and/or FXLR from the sale and/or development of the Las Vegas properties owned by their Las Vegas subsidiaries, up to a maximum of $10 million. The Company and FXLR have the right to buy-out this participation right at any time prior to April 9, 2014 for a payment equal to (i) $3.3 million plus interest at 7% per annum, calculated from year 3 until repaid, plus (ii) 10% of any net proceeds received from the sale of some or all of the Las Vegas properties during such buy-out period and for six months thereafter, provided that the amount paid under clauses (i) and (ii) shall not exceed $10 million.

     The foregoing description of the Termination, Settlement and Release Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
