Hello Everybody O'Shea's closing?

[Ben Jammin]

Ben Jammin here.

Read a post on another board there was talk of the possibility of O'sheas to be the next strip casino to bite the dirt. I personally don't think the employees over there have anything to worry about, unless the casino is losing money. I'm not privy to that information.

They have a beer pong area in the back now, which was mobbed during spring break. It's a great place to go and get poop faced with your buds.

If you have a car they actually have a parking garage in the back that looks rather scary, but you can usually find a spot near the elevator if you're so inclined.

Good to meet everybodie on here. See Ya,

O'Shea's is owned by the Flamingo and I know they moved the Vinnie Favorito show to the Flamingo.

However, I haven't heard anything about O'Shea's closing.

Let me ask our Las Vegas contact, Scot Krause, about it and see if he can update us on the situation.

Scot says it's not closing.

And the related question is if the poker "room" is closing. It is unique in all of Vegas both in structure of the 1- 5 spread games and in the amount of entertainment available watching the folks parade up the Boulevard.

tHIS WAS REPORTED RECENTLY..........

No official date has been announced as yet, nor details of exactly what the change will imply (there has even been talk of "relocating" the casino), but we've heard sometime in February of next year will likely see it closing in its current incarnation (although tickets for resident headliner Dirk Arthur's magic show are still available until March 31).
Ever since Caesars Entertainment first announced its plans back in 2009 for what was originally called Project Linq, a massive pedestrianized retail, dining, and entertainment complex for its center-Strip land block, the future of the old casinos that occupy that strip of the Strip has been in question. While the Flamingo and IP will apparently receive major facelifts as part of the remodel, O'Sheas did not fare so well and has been scheduled for demolition, although not implosion, as far as we know.

Although it lacks a hotel, O'Sheas managed to carve out an identity for itself as a party place in recent years. Home to one of the original in-casino tattoo studios, owned by wild man Vince Neil, it's also an official Beer Pong tournament stop, a perennial favorite for St Patrick's Day celebrations, and home to a Havana Cigar venue (we can't describe it as a "lounge" -- it's really more of a booth!)

Caesars Entertainment states that O'Sheas would be relocated in Linq, as is, not new and remodeled.

Where did you read or hear of this lee? The last I heard was in late August.

The article stated that O'Sheas would be folded into the "new project" and the Imperial Palace will get a new name as a result.

It would be somewhat nice to see it stay in it's "original form" less the smell of vomit and the sticky floor in the bathrooms!
