The original 2014 report
Original reporting follows. Offers, event dates, product details and opinions are historical. Old outbound links are shown as text.
O’Sheas, a casino and bar based in Las Vegas, launched on Dec 27, giving blackjack players a place to play their favorite game. It will re-open at Linq Complex, which will include shopping facilities, restaurants, and bars.
O’Sheas was popular not only for its cheap blackjack games, but also low limit Texas Hold’em games, cheap drinks, and beer pong. But while the previous O’Sheas offered only 6 to 5 blackjack games, the new O’Sheas will offer this payout only at one table.
The bar and casino, which used to be sandwiched between Imperial Palace and Flamingo, closed its doors on April 30, 2012 so that the Imperial Palace, which is now called The Quad, could be expanded. The former O’Sheas location is now an excellent venue for table games and offers plenty of 6 to 5 blackjack games, craps, roulette, and Three Card Poker.
The other shops in the Linq Complex will also be thrown open on Dec 27. Two of these shops are Purple Zebra and Haute Doggery. Some more shops, such as the Yard House, will be opened early in February 2014. Restaurants such as Flour and Barley and Tilted Kilt are also expected to open in February.
