Vegas News - 2012
Paulie_D:
Construction has started on the Linq....the retail / restaurant / experience / walkway thingy that will run from Harrah"s Carnaval Court, through the IP and on to the FlamimgO.
Some of the shops on the south side of the CC have been closed up and boarded off although the Court itself remains in operation.
The "Capri" tower of the IP has now been demolished (which is all it was fit for) and, of course, the IP will be changing it"s name as part of the overall project.
Apparently O"Sheas staff were hit with 60-day termination notices on 1st March which many believe means that demolition (as such) will be commencing in early June/July 2012 although O"Sheas will be back in the form of a themed "area" as part of the Linq
Project Linq is due for final completion in June/July 2013.

We could hold a candle light vigil for the IP/O"Sheas in November. ;D
I have special memories of the IP, people hated it for its oldness etc but I stayed there a couple of times and liked its afforability and position on the strip. Saying that, the plans for the linq look good if they price it right. The emphasis on new builds in Vegas seems to be shifting away from the gambling to "other" entertainment. Inevitable I suppose in these austere times.
Paulie_D:
The IP itself wont, as I understand it, be demolished just refurbished with, I suppose, an inevitable increase in room costs.
It"ll be interesting to see what the new name is and what the new pricing will be.

I played in O"sheas yesterday and managed to bink a $50 bonus when I flopped quad sevens! Had a nice double up in a three hour cash session and the place was absolutely bouncing! Craps games were as rowdy as ever with a guy winning $5000 in one session! Bought a commemorative O"Sheas card guard for $10, any body want one post here and I"ll bring ya one back.( obv ya"ll have to pay me back....I am a Yorkshireman!)
Venetian deep stack tomorrow!

I always stay at the IP in Vegas. I love their little card room. Also, right opposite CP and easy for the Harrah"s bus to the Rio. One year I played so much cash there that when I next stayed at the IP I got seven nights for about £60!
I"m booked in there for early June. Is that going to be a problem? I haven"t had an email from them.
