The LINQ and O'Sheas: Fun Duo at the Heart of the Strip

Two connected spaces, one energetic experience right in the center of Las Vegas

If you’re walking the Las Vegas Strip and stumble into The LINQ, chances are you’ve also just stepped into O’Sheas without even realizing it. The Linq and O’Sheas’ connected properties create one of the most energetic and laid-back casino experiences in the city.

During my walkthrough, the vibe was fun, youthful, and full of people having a good time—whether with a beer in hand or a few bucks on the dice table.

The LINQ and O’Sheas blend together so seamlessly that it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. O’Sheas acts like a hidden Irish pub tucked inside the LINQ promenade, complete with its own small casino, beer pong tables, and a festive bar crowd.

Meanwhile, The LINQ itself feels more like a chill party resort—with tons of fast dining options, colorful decor, and a social, approachable atmosphere.

It’s not a sprawling mega-resort, but it is a great place to hang out, especially if you want to stay center-Strip and don’t need over-the-top luxury. This spot caters to groups, first-timers, and anyone looking to have fun without breaking the bank.

Accommodations and Amenities

The LINQ Hotel + Experience has over 2,200 rooms and suites with a modern, tech-forward vibe. Rooms are efficient and colorful, designed for guests who want to spend more time out exploring the Strip and less time lounging indoors.

Many rooms are budget-friendly compared to nearby resorts, making The LINQ popular with younger travelers and groups.

While O’Sheas is often thought of as its own spot, it doesn’t offer hotel rooms—it’s more of a lively casino pub nestled inside The LINQ. With bar games, a compact gaming area, and nonstop Irish-themed energy, O’Sheas is a fun place to hang out, not stay overnight.

If you’re enjoying O’Sheas and looking for a place to sleep, you’ll be booking your stay at The LINQ Hotel next door (or rather, all around it!).
