O'Sheas Rakes in the Dough From Beer Pong

It�s no secret that O�Sheas is one of a handful of casinos on the Las Vegas Strip to offer beer pong just about nightly.

The real shocker: the place rakes in more than $25,000 from it every week, and more than $100,000 per month.

No, that number didn�t come from management or an official press release (though the PR department did, in fact, confirm it). Instead, it came from the people who know best�dealers and pit bosses in the gaming pit closest to the beer pong action.

When you consider the math behind this number, the place sure does a lot of beer pong. For $23.50 a pop, pongers can buy in for a game at any time of day or night, seven days a week. The price fetches a full game set-up, which consists of cups, balls, and a pitcher of beer.

Refills are $10 per pitcher.

On Fridays and Saturdays, the line for beer pong can be more than an hour long. There are other pong-related draws, as well. Every Thursday at 4 p.m., the casino also hosts a Beer Pong tournament; pongers buy in for $40 and get souvenir t-shirts plus tournament beer.

Winners earn entry into the O�Sheas World Series of Beer Pong satellite tournament this November.

Though O�Sheas is making bank at beer pong, this revenue completely separate from the casino�s gambling take. Considering that the joint has some of the least advantageous blackjack rules in Vegas (natural 21 pays only 6 to 5; players can only double down on 10 or 11), perhaps it�s best to stick to pong after all.
