Yes. The restaurant is still open, but bar is now Bird Bar.
]]>Also, putting in beer pong wasn’t a great idea. I’m a beer pong connoisseur (no, really I am) and although I’ve played at O’Shea’s for years (the old O’Shea’s too), the location wasn’t ideal and it discouraged gamblers from going in there. The appeal of a Jimmy Buffett-theme is chill and drunk. Not drunken frat party. For some reason, Caesars Entertainment confused the two and started pumping pretty awful dance music in the Margaritaville Casino. It’s like they forgot who they wanted to appeal to? They also got live bands to play and although the bands were fine, that space is WAY too loud for a live band. The songs didn’t match the vibe either… Guns N’ Roses and ACDC covers don’t say “come here, sip on this cold cocktail, gamble and relax”.
The worst part of it was the long trek to the bathroom at Flamingo. If there were even 4 stalls hidden somewhere, people would stay in that casino much longer! To pee you have to go on a 15 minute hike. The same thing goes for replacing your Total Rewards card. I loved the Margaritaville-themed cards that used to be available there. They closed that desk and now you have to hike to the front of the Flamingo to replace the card. It’s like they wanted you to leave the casino. ??
I will miss Margaritaville and it’s awesome carpet. I really wish they reverted it to what it was when it first opened. It was extremely popular.
