Shamrocks on the rocks: Pubs and Irish casinos
Erin Go Bragh! If you are looking for traditional fare and authentic brews this St. Patrick's Day, look no further. Las Vegas has several Irish pubs to tickle your fancy.
Craving some good ol' Irish grub? Head to Hennessey's Tavern on Fremont Street for a ramekin of shepherd's pie, an order of the pub's famous tavern fries and finish up with homemade Irish pudding. Afterward, head upstairs for live music in the world's largest pint glass! If a traditional Irish bar setting is what you crave, Nine Fine Irishmen at New York-New York Hotel and Casino lives up to its name. This Victorian-style bar has two levels of outdoor patio seating with spectacular views of the Strip, sumptuous food, fine spirits, and lively music nightly at 9 p.m.
Take a seat at Brendan's Irish Pub at The Orleans, fashioned after an authentic Irish pub, for a tall glass of your favorite beer on tap, or spring for an old-fashioned Irish whiskey. Jack's Sports Bar and Irish Pub at Palace Station is home to live entertainment and fine Irish brews. Check out DJ Tara King Wednesdays, Elegant Vagabonds and Jason Walker Experience Fridays and Nuff Said Saturdays. Or grab your lucky charm and head over to O'Sheas on Las Vegas Boulevard to challenge your friends to a game of beer pong!
There's no shortage of Pubs in Las Vegas, so be sure to check out popular hangouts including O'Mulligans Pub at Primm Valley Resort, Quinn's Irish Pub at Green Valley Ranch, The Auld Dubliner Irish Pub at scenic Lake Las Vegas, and J.C. Wooloughan at the J.W. Marriott in near Red Rock Conservation Area. Ri Ra is a must-see pub inside Mandalay Place - home to the GUINNESS Store featuring the largest collection of memorabilia and gifts outside of Ireland!
St. Patrick's Day in Vegas wouldn't be complete without the Dublin Down Festival at Thomas & Mack Center. This year's event features the music of Flogging Molly - a genuine mix of traditional Irish music and classic punk rock.
May the luck of the Irish be with you this St. Patrick's Day!
