I personally like it. Can't beat the location, best on the strip! The new sports book is great, last few times there, free booze, which you can't beat. I haven't seen the remodeled rooms or pool yet, so can't comment on that....but who spends any time in there room anyways, other than to sleep.

It has always been a great spot even as the old IP. You can't beat the location. It is a little more expensive now since they remodeled the place. I just made reservations for May at the Flamingo.
To me this part of the strip is the best. I do like staying off strip once in a while and Orleans is my usual choice. Am going yo give Red Rock a try soon.

What they No longer have the old marker board in the sportsbook
Have spent a couple of March Madness there and it was a classic place to place a bet and watch the games in the bar next to the book.

the old marker board is finally gone. New book is modern and quite nice. There are a couple of bars right next to the book that have great draught beer selection, including some good micros

Man, I miss the old O'Shea's! That was the sh!t! Cheap booze cheap tables, they had like a Subway, Mickey D's and a pizza place in the back behind the beer pong tables. Went to the "new" one this past August - it's not the same. All hipster douchebags and corporate cold feeling...... oh well, I've got my memories.....

One time at O'Sheas before the beer pong era ,buddy cashes in something like $32 in chips at the cage and the Asian cashier pays him the cash and pushes the chips back to him...
We go outside for a few minutes and I cash the same chips in again but with different teller. Place had such new BJ oriental dealers that would flash hole cards in training at a $3 table..Many oppurtunities passed if we were more serious players then.

Nice to see responses from actual real people that went there and experienced what I did. My parents live in Vegas, so I'm up there, oh, maybe 10+ times a year......
O'Shea's was the SH!T - sorry to see it go, but I've moved "downtown".......
I like "Container Park", even though it closes at midnight.... 
The Downtown Grand (formerly Lady Luck) is cool - that pizza place on the corner EFFIN' ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!
Forget Aria, Vdara, all that overpriced Bullsh!t - (unless you're going for a bachelor/bachelorette party, then, by all means.....) But, if you're just going to have a good time, and love to gamble, Fremont Street is the place to be. Outdoor concerts by bands that used to be something (Berlin, B-52's, etc.) - and the vibe is fun............
Good Luck All...........

Good stuff Joey!
Places like O'sheas drew me out to Vegas. Downtown definately has the old school Vegas vibe. Could care less about Cosmo/Aria etc.
Btw, it wasn't a McDs at the back of O'Sheas it was a Burger King!

Oh yeah you're right! It was a BK.... My mind is slipping.... Like I said, Fremont Street it is for me now, there's no character left on the strip. The only thing I'd still make the drive for is Battista's "Hole In The Wall" Italian restaurant behind the Flamingo. Great food, and a lot of it, I don't think there's any entree over like 35 bucks, and you get all you can drink free wine?!?! My mouth and liver are watering right now!

Had to chime in on O'Sheas. The best 1/2 no limit hold 'em table in town right on the window along the strip. Drunkest donkeys sitting down with their money, while the midget would put his sack on girls he grabbed off the street. Great stuff, sad to see it go. Much like my grandfather was sad to see the Sands taken down.
