After Hearing of O' Shea's closing date,
I'd like to share 2 stories and a few scans.
First story:
A few Years ago while in Las vegas Celebrating a friends 50th birthday, we were staying at a Mega resort, Let's call it "The ARIA" it was in the summer, and we were at the pool , while it was "Nice"
there was something missing. I said to the Guys, Let's go Have some "FUN". we cabbed it over to O'Shea's. After a cocktail or 6 at the tables, I find my Friend who just turned 50 ,in The Back watching a heated game of beer pong between a few younger girls in a condition I'll call "sloppy" at one point one of the Girls places a ping pong ball in her cleavage, to distract her opponent . next thing I know , she is Yelling at my friend "what are you looking at , OLD MAN ?" Luckily , her boyfriend stepped in quickly Apologized . It has been a punchline ever since.
Second story:
For you newbys....
Once upon a time our club used to get the Host hotel issue a chip for our annual convention, and Even some others did the same for us. in 2001 O'SHEA'S issued 3 chips for us (see Below) while waiting for the chips to be released on a hot summer Afternoon , I was waiting in line with a club member, having a long conversation, OK.. BS'ing.It was a day I will not forget.
The Chipper was Dr Bob Ginsburg. Just one of many friends that are no longer with us.
The end
