Coupons, Yes, But A Box Office That's Still Charging $53: Why That Doesn't Make Mental A Free Show
The saga continues...
OK-so. After we pointed out yesterday that Mental is not a free show, as the people behind it have been saying, Anthony Cools tweeted us to say that in order to get your free ticket, there are two sexy school girls standing at the entrance to O’Sheas, handing out coupons to everyone who walks in between 6-8pm, when the show starts.
Obviously, we had to go check this out. We swung by at 7pm to find a girl dressed like an extra in Dr Zhivago handing out coupons for Matsuri (free buffet if you buy a VIP ticket, wotevs) and Vinnie Favorito (2-for-1). No sign of schoolgirls, sexy or otherwise.

Mental's Newest 'Trick' is to Mislead You About Free Show Tix
File this under "Nothing, we repeat nothing, is free in Vegas."
UPDATE 3pm: Anthony Cools has twittered us saying that there are two schoolgirls at the door of the casino handing out coupons to everyone who walks in. Anyone seen this? Let us know. Still doesn't make it a free show though
If there’s one thing we hate, hate, hate, it’s when the good guys let us down. So this morning we’re fuming in two directions - at O’Sheas, and at hypnotist Anthony Cools.
We’ve always been fans of both. We’ve shown love to O’Sheas despite having once had someone vomit over our seat when we made a quick bathroom trip. We also think Anthony Cools’ show is v funny, and he has a talent for bringing other shows to the Strip that we have also loved, like Mental and our much-lamented Freaks.

Mental Goes Free, And You'd Be Mental Not To See It
Looks like everyone’s favorite tattooed English mindreader on the Strip Luke Jermay is trying to confuse us. First there was the announcement of his new show, Dirty Thoughts. Then Anthony Cools, who produces the show, kept tweeting about big changes to Mental, but every time we asked the O’Sheas O’Sheas lot, they professed total ignorance.
Anyway, now we know what the change was – and it’s a good one. Instead of charging $49 for tickets, it’s now free. Yes – an hour of a brilliant show (that we’ve been saying that you should go see since August, as it happens) for free.

First Time at O'Sheas? We Promise It Won't Hurt
Note: This O'Sheas post was written without the influence of Sexy Snake Man. We swear!
There are few things we like more than leading our dear friends down the road of debauchery, especially in Las Vegas.
So, when we had the opportunity to break free from the mob of 100+ journalists hosted by CityCenter last week (imagine the very best and worst high school reunion rolled into a 72-hour affair complete with copious amounts of dick swinging and one-upping), we had to take our Vegas virgin friend, Jenna, to see some of the not so swank features of the Strip.
Maybe Jenna wasn’t exactly an unsullied maiden, but she hadn’t graced the Strip in nearly two decades, which pretty much makes her born again material in our book.

Collective Sigh: It's Time to Bid Farewell to Sexy Snake Man
It’s Sexy Snake Man Donald Schultz’s last day outside O’Sheas today, so to commemorate our loss, we’re bringing you this picture of him in his box from our Sunday afternoon perve research trip. We weren't alone, either - SSM has picked up a hefty number of groupies over the past 10 days, which made us feel a bit better about, you know, our big ole pervathon.
New game: how many snakes can you see in this picture? We can only count the one on the ground on the right and the one in the foliage to the left, but at the time, we saw a few more. In fact, we’re going to keep staring at this picture until all 80 materialize.

Less of the Snakes, More of the Sexy Snake Man at O'Sheas, Please
Ever since we read that there were snakes taking up residence at O’Sheas this week, we’ve been psyching ourselves up to go and see them. Yup, psyching ourselves up even more than we usually do to hit O’Sheas (leprechauns, we jest. Sorry).
In case you’re in the dark about the whole affair, there are muthaf*cking snakes living with one man in a trailer on the muthaf*cking Strip outside O’Sheas, supposedly in a bid to raise awareness of the danger of snake bites. It’s called Venom in Vegas and is being filmed for Animal Planet’s Wild Recon show.

Ignore The Freaks On the Strip; See These Ones Instead
First things first, there are a lot of freaks in Vegas. You will probably see them walking from your room to the buffet, from the buffet to the casino, from the casino to the club, and definitely, definitely on the Strip.
So why, you ask, would one pay to see a show called Freaks when one can enjoy the glorious walkway of them that is Las Vegas Boulevard? Because the self-defined freaks who perform every night upstairs at O’Sheas are, actually, amazing.
Another brainchild of Paris hypnotist Anthony Cools along with Luke Jermay’s show, which precedes them in the theatre above O’Sheas, Freaks is the kind of sideshow that you’d assume exists in Vegas, but actually is normally drowned out by the boozing and the gambling and the nekked ladies.

This Man Will Actually Read Your Mind (We Think.)
So you’re in Vegas. You want to see some magic. But you don’t want to get landed with a cheesefest like Xtreme Magic and you’d rather tweeze your own fingernails out than spend money on Criss Angel. What to do?
May we suggest you try a slightly different kind of magic, courtesy of Mr Luke Jermay over at O’Sheas? Mental, his show, has no rabbits out of hats or prancing tigers or show-stealing acrobats. It just has an hour of so-good-I’m-actually-quite-spooked mindreading. Yup, good old-fashioned mindreading.
Jermay’s totally different from what you’d expect from a Vegas performer (from London, not brash, a kind of humble stage presence) but don’t let that put you off. Likewise, the special effects are reduced to a couple of swirly lights and confetti that he sprinkles when he’s taking a while to read minds. Don’t worry though – it just makes the magic stuff even more insane.

Luxor's Twitter Tuesday Offers Rooms for $38...in December
Our biggest tip right now for anyone looking to party in Vegas soon is to follow Strip Casino Hotels on Twitter. We've put together a good list here and the Twitter feeds are worth checking in with before you book you room. But like all deals in Vegas, most of them are just a lot of hype.
Luxor's Tuesday Twitter Offer for today said you can book rooms from now through February for $38 a night but you only had 24 hours to do. We put in dates for this weekend and it spit back rooms at about $105 a night. We didn't see the $38 rates until mid-December and that was during the week.
Yes, they technically offered what they said they would but mid-week December is not ideal. So like any other bargain, you still have to do some legwork. Here's what else is on in Vegas:
· CityCenter condos are 30 percent more affordable [LA Times]
· Former baseball pitcher arrested for stiffing Caesars Palace [Casino Gambling Web]
· The Wynn is coming after Girls Gone Wild's Joe Francis [TMZ]
· Star Trek Experience for Neonopolis lives on [Mercury News]
· East Coast Gambler informs us that O'Sheas is on Twitter @Osheaslasvegas [East Coast Gambler]

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.

Escape The Recession With O'Sheas All-Day Happy Hour
You can drink pretty much anywhere and everywhere you like in Vegas. The bars and the casinos are open 24-7, the pools are overflowing with as much booze as there is flesh, you can sit and pull and sip at the slot machines and you can take that roadie to go with you onto The Strip. Yep, this city in the desert is actually quite the watering hole.
But is all this booze easily affordable? Um, that depends. Nightclubs here want you to spend as much money as you possibly can and not all bars in town are wallet-friendly.
But at O’Shea’s Casino across from Caesars Palace, the cheap drinks are constantly flowing, thanks to their 24-hour happy hour. We've already praised O'Sheas for its brown bag bottle special and its awesome beer pong set-up and now we can officially declare O'Sheas the best place to wait out the recession in Vegas.
Stop in at any bar inside the casino for their 2-3-4-5 deal: $2 domestic drafts, $3 Big Daddy drafts, $4 apple martinis and $5 for a shot of tequila and 12 oz beer. Even better, these deals are available all day throughout the day.

Where to Play Beer Pong in Vegas
Beer pong at O'Sheas on The Strip.
With the World Series of Beer Pong set to invade The Strip again next January at The Flamingo, it's no wonder Las Vegas is prepping its visitors on drinking game. Beer Pong is, for the most part, still a frat boy drinking game but in recent years, it's evolved into a game that nearly everyone who likes to drink gallons of beer has taken a liking to.
VegasConcierge recently posted a picture on its Twitter feed of the new beer pong tables at Excalibur where can play beer pong 24 hours a day at the Jesters Bar on the Casino floor.
Here are a few other places to get your pong on:
· Monte Carlo: Beer pong is played poolside here.
· O'Sheas: You can play beer pong right in the middle of this casino. (Watch the video above.)
· Blondie's Las Vegas: Inside Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood, this bar offers up beer pong any time of the day. The bar's weekly Thursday tournaments offer a cash prize of $500. Also on Friday June 13th, the bar is hosting a satellite tournament for the World Series of Beer Pong.
One other place to play beer pong? In your room. That is, if you've got yourself a suite. Two places we could see working perfectly for beer pong games? The Trump Las Vegas and The Signature at MGM Grand. These suites have plenty of space and you can easily push a few tables together. And more importantly, they also have kitchenettes to keep your beer cold.
Know of any other places to play beer pong? Let us know!
