Legendary punk-rock club CBGB, which has been operating without a lease for months, has agreed to vacate its longtime home in New York City's East Village by the end of next October.

Club owner Hilly Kristal reportedly hopes to move the club to another site in New York, but is also is said to be negotiating to open a club with the CBGB name in Las Vegas.

The Bowery Residents' Committee--a nonprofit group that aids the homeless and holds the lease to the building that has housed CBGB since 1973--has long sought to oust the club from its site, which can command a much higher rent than CBGB currently pays.
