O'Sheas Casino
O'Sheas Casino is an Irish-themed casino located within The Linq Promenade, an outdoor entertainment district on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. O'Sheas originally opened on July 1, 1989 and operated in between the Flamingo and Imperial Palace resorts. The original location included a 22,000 sq ft (2,000 m2) casino.
Owner Caesars Entertainment Corporation announced in 2011 that O'Sheas would close and relocate to become part of the upcoming Linq Promenade. O'Sheas closed on April 30, 2012, and opened in its new 5,000 sq ft (460 m2) location on December 27, 2013. It connects to the casino at The Linq resort, which previously operated as the Imperial Palace. The new O'Sheas, like its original location, is known for its cheap beer and gaming, as well as beer pong.
Hilton Nevada Corporation broke ground for the O'Sheas casino on September 7, 1988. The project was built on the Las Vegas Strip, north of the company's Flamingo Hilton hotel-casino. O'Sheas was built on property that was being used as a parking lot for tour buses. Hilton officials were surprised to learn that they owned the land and set forth to build O'Sheas on the site. The five-story building included three floors for parking space.
O'Sheas opened on July 1, 1989, and featured an Irish theme. R. Duell & Associates of Los Angeles was the designer, and Rissman & Rissman of Las Vegas was the architect. O'Sheas was designed to resemble an Irish pub, and included hardwood floors, brass, Irish artifacts, and detailed wall designs. The casino also included a food court.
The casino cost $22 million, and its target clientele was middle-income tourists. Unlike most of the casinos on the Strip, O'Sheas was not part of a resort and had no hotel. It was operated in conjunction with the Flamingo Hilton. O'Sheas' location between the Flamingo Hilton and Imperial Palace resorts meant that many pedestrians simply bypassed the small casino, which lost around $2 million in its first six months. It laid off approximately 60 employees in January 1990 and announced a deal for the Flamingo Hilton to take over operations, At the end of the year, Hilton announced it would give the casino a makeover and rename it Bugsy's, after Flamingo developer Bugsy Siegel. O'Sheas ultimately retained its original name, and would go on to become successful.
O'Sheas is briefly featured in the 1997 film Vegas Vacation, when character Rusty Griswold wins a car through a slot machine sitting outside the casino.
On February 26, 2000, O'Sheas made the 2001 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records by having 220 patrons contribute to the largest crowd to participate in a nationwide toast. The Great Guinness Toast, as it is called, was tallied nationwide as having 320,470 participants, breaking the previous year's record of 197,846 participants.
A poker room was added in 2007, as part of remodeling work.
