360 Vegas Review: O'Shea's @LINQ Spring 2014

Never has the death of a shittier place been so
lamented by so many. When O'Shea's was closed in 2012 to make way for the
Linq project, even though it was announced it would return once the Linq project
was done, people bemoaned.
Maybe people were skeptical that Caesars entertainment
wouldn't keep its promise. Maybe they thought it wouldn't be the same or maybe
people just really like having their shoes make that suction cup sound as they
attempt to traverse across the urine and vomit covered linoleum. 
 Whatever the reason, people celebrated its return.
Little more than an Irish bar with a casino in it, O'Shea's made sure to bring
back its staples, Beer pong, karaoke, cheep booze and gambling as well as the
drunken loud vibe are alive and well. In fact, it’s been so successful that
Linq promised to expand O'Shea's into the space next door left vacant due to a
failed deal with a potential tenant. 
However that has yet to materialize.

E-200: 360 Vegas Vacation 3 Trip Report

Random Vegas
Bliss Dance at MGM’s The Park complex is
40 feet tall and weighs 7500 lbs (@MGMResortsIntl).  While she does light up at night, the internal
LED lights she was built with are not being used.  She’s lit up by external color lighting.
Twitpic of the Trip
It’s fitting that the
art center piece of The Park in Vegas is a 40 foot tall nude women.  Never has metal mesh looked so sexy.  The twitpic of the trip captured her sultry
movement with the Monte Carlo, as she is currently known as, as a back
drop.  While she is large, the angle we
found gave her the impression that she could be almost as large as the hotel
itself.  Prediction time, if MGM still
owns the name “THE Hotel” formerly at Mandalay Bay, now Delano's, Monte Carlos
new name will be “THE Hotel at the Park”.

360 Vegas Review: Tilted Kilt @Linq Promenade Spring 2014

It should be the most embarrassing example
of how simple-minded the male sex is. 
Beer, simple food and scantily clad women serving you is a sure fire way
to be a successful bar/restaurant.  It’s
like one stop shop for the male id.
Luckily the concept
has evolved over the years and improved in just about every way from the Hooters
model.  Uniforms have moved on from orange
spandex to plaid school girl skirts and tiny mountain gear.  But ever better than that, the food has
improved and a concept as simple as offering lots of variety in the beer
offerings have found their way into the tits and ass and food and booze game.
Tilted kilt is one of
the later.  TheIr latest incarnation in
Vegas can be found in the Linq Promenade and while they don’t offer outdoor
seating, the space takes advantage of the atmosphere in Linq with open air
seating and a bar located right by those windows. A more intimate experience
can be had on the second floor for those who desire it.

360 Vegas Review: Pizza Rock @Downtown Grand Fall 2014

Pizza.
Many people will tell you there is no such thing as bad pizza. There are
clearly varying degrees of quality be even the worst pizza is still pizza.
While some strive to create the best pizza you've ever had, others look to
reinvent the culinary medium and blow your fuckin mind. Pizza rock is the
latter.  
At
first glance, the menu can be concerning, especially for the picky eaters among
us.  Balsamic reduction? Sautéed Pear?
Quail Hollow Farm Honey?  What the fuck
are you doing to pizza!  Good things, I
assure you.  Very good things.
Need
some reassurance?  They also have the
classic New York slice with the standards, a slice that rivals Secret Pizza at
Cosmopolitan.  Pizza Rock isn’t just the
best pizza place off Fremont St, it’s one of the best places to eat in Vegas.
