O’ Shea’s Casino Takes Poker to the Streets, Literally
The rumors have proven to be true. As previously reported here on OPN, a new poker room, if you can call it that, has debuted at O’ Shea’s. Why the hesitation to call it a poker room? Well, essentially the tiny O’ Shea’s installed two, that’s right, two, poker tables on the casino floor. Furthermore, unlike most other poker rooms in the world, the poker "area" isn’t roped or cordoned off, but rather positioned right at the street-side entrance to the casino. This essentially means that potential poker players can take a seat at one of the two tables by taking about two steps "indoors" from the Las Vegas Strip.
