O'Shea's vs Bill's Gamblin Hall and Saloon : Vegas Battle Royale

O'Shea's
Las Vegas Strip
Blow by blow:

Right next door to my home court, the Flamingo! Great Gaming and they also accept my Total Rewards Card!

Beer Pong, cheap eats, GREAT PARTY Place!!!! I will always make sure I stop here every trip to Vegas.

Had so much fun gambling here last Spring Break. Everything about it is just great after visiting so many up-scale casinos.

This place is a lot fun for someone with my budget. I could get a lite beer and a hot dog for $3. There was a subway and a burger king inside for those who cannot afford the Wynn buffet, and I used my Flamingo (next door) Total Rewards card here. $5 Blackjack in to boot, it was a great place to gamble.

It's Cheap and Fun. It gets a little annoying when the beer pong crowd takes over but you know that going in.

You got a leprechaun with a mic on the street, and you have a fan. It is in that band of cheap casinos between Flamingo and Harrahs.

Just a great, very rowdy place to gamble. Fun atmosphere and who doesn't love having a Burger King very near by for cheap and hopelessly greasy eats at 2 a.m.?

Man, if you like poor drunk girls, this place after 2 a.m. is like shooting fish in a barrel. The bartenders, in my experience, are more interested in talking to their friends then earning my tip money, though.

Used to be a great place before they turned it into a frat house casino. It's slightly better than Casino Royale.

This place is great if your 21-25 and have no money. If you are older than that...well...your trip is either not going well or you are there to drink Guinness on the cheap. I've seen people vomit in the middle of the casino and pass out on and break the patio furniture by the bar. As someone who studied anthropology in college, this place can be fascinating.

A great place to stumble into when you're shizzfizzled. Great drink specials, cheap games, and a party atmosphere.

Gamble, drink, gamble, beer pong, midget, gamble, drink, craps, throw up, repeat. It's like my fraternity house was turned into a casino. Welcome to O'Lambda Chi Alpha's!

Need a place to stay overnight? Try the craps tables at O'Shea's! There's no hotel, but who the fuck cares. Seriously tho - O'Shea's seems to have lost a lot of its charm to me, perhaps because I'm too old to play beer pong. Counting the months till this fave gets imploded.

..... 10 mins and you are "toasted!".....view from the rooms ain't bad too.... and of course the prolific fat elvis....

Great Hotel and excellent location. Rooms are nice and clean with a great staff. Big Elvis, Rapid Craps, 1 dollar margarita's and the Bill's mini pitchers are outta this world. It always a place I hit up when I visit Vegas.

I like gambling in Bill's first and foremost. Limits are a little high at times for what it is but I was a big fan of $1 bottles of Miller Chill back in October and I do want to stay here in the future because the location cannot be beat.

Love staying at Bills, especially on solo trips. Rooms are fair, nice beds and nice TV. Bathroom is a bit weak. But no one can touch the quick walk from your room to the strip, good coffee shop (Victorian Room), and some of the lowest limits on gambling for a 3 block radius.

Learned to play craps at this hotel right out of college in 1994. It's old and has that old Vegas vibe and one of my favorite places to play craps still. I guess I am just and emotional and sentimental fool. I have tried for years to get thrown out for counting cards here after hearing all the rumors of how tight they are but I don't seem to be good enough to get any attention. Fun place and make sure you give Big Elvis a wide berth...

The wife loves the simple Victorian decor. Have stayed here many times and enjoyed the late night $5.79 Steak & Eggs. The rooms were simple, bed was comfortable and the vies from room 102 were great as they over look the Fountains of the Bellagio. Staff was great and room was clean.

I like The Casino and Victoria's Cafe has great food, the atmoshpere is a little dark

The ultimate best value on the strip. No one will argue, this is the prime location in Vegas. Two minutes to the best intersection in America. Is it a five-diamond masterpiece? No. Is it cheap? Yes. Does it compare, if not surpass, the room quality of other two/three star strip options. For sure. Do I like asking and answering my own questions?

Blackjack is great here, and you get to hear Big Elvis while you play. It's a low budget thrill the entire time. The people watching and cheap beer, a great place to stop into

The easiest hotel to stay at. Two minutes from your room to the strip. Nice rooms, small bathrooms.

Seedy but fun little joint. Nothing like a western union to scream gamble!

I guess I see this place as one of the few old school Vegas joints left. Pretty rough around the edges and smoky as hell. But they have $5 craps most nights which is enough to get me in the door. Beer tastes like piss.

Everyone is always happy here for whatever reason. Caught their $1 drink special during a mid-2005 trip and promptly drank my weight in Red Bull and vodka. The $4-ish after-hours breakfast special is exactly what I want at 4 a.m.

For location on the srip it can't be beat and it has one of the best after hours clubs in Vegas. I liked it more when it was Barbary Coast, but it will do for a low limit casino on the strip

(Aug 2010) Great location of course, easy parking, and perhaps the coziest casino on the strip that doesn't make you feel itchy. The room is alright, but I got the worst night's sleep on the lousy mattress in my room since I stayed at Circus Circus last spring. You will also deal with street noise through single pane windows.

if you have zero plans to eat here and ONLY plan to use this place for the location (and it is a great location, next to Flamingo, and Bally and across LV Blvd from Caesars and the Bellagio) for "just the bed". then this is your place. Beware the desk people not the most friendly and helpful "lost" my reservation, good thing I keep ALL my travel info on my Palm and got my room even after they said there was no reservation and for less than what they wanted to charge me that day. Also steer clear of the room service, wife got food poisoning.

I really just added this to slag the place. Was the first place I stayed at back when it was the Barbary and it was amazing. Went through there a couple of years ago and almost cried. A total lack of care by the good folks over at Harrah's.

Bill's makes me ANGRY. The old Barbary Coast was the low-roller joint that helped me fall in love with Vegas - low limits, awesome bathrooms, the cheap and great Victorian Room, and especially strong and frequent cocktail service, particularly for playing 25c video poker at the bar). After loss limiting the first night of my last trip, I pulled out a couple hundred and went to Bill's with a buddy - what a disappointment. The formerly elegant bathrooms are now run down, the drink service is a shell of its former self, you have to play max coins at 25c to get comp drinks and even then its only well and draft beer (used to include bottled beer) and not at the fast rate that the old Barbary used to manage, and then to top it off the Victorian Room has more than doubled its prices! What a trainwreck. Harrah's continues to be the bottom of the barrel.
