Flav took the Riviera boardroom by STORM Monday during a meeting with casino bigwigs -- including CEO Andy Choy -- and sources close to the deal tell TMZ, Operation Fried Chicken is basically a go in Sin City ... pending some last minute number crunching and contract kinks.
It'd be a huge move up from his first location in rural Iowa -- according to sources, Flav's Fried Chicken would occupy some PRIME real estate inside the hotel ... once the deal goes through.
What a surreal life.
