Dirk Arthur Returns to the Strip, Freaky Vegas Rejoices

August 26, 2010 at 1:10 PM | by juliab | 1 Comment

Normally, as you know, we wait until Freaky Friday to impart this kind of news, but today we have magic news of such breathtaking importance that we thought we should do it straight up and freakify Thursday as well. Dirk Arthur is coming to O’Sheas!

Not just Dirk, either, but his tigers as well. Uncaged. Doing their shizzle between 10 and 40 feet away from you in the showroom upstairs. Incredible.

The 60 minute show – called Dirk Arthur’s Wild Magic - starts September 13 and will run at 7pm and 9pm every night except Wednesday and Friday. They’re promising:

A high-energy show that blends comedy, dance, magic and a rare opportunity to see the largest collection of awe-inspiring large, exotic cats in Las Vegas.

Mental! Luke Jermay Is No More In Vegas

Ladies and gents, prepare your best sad faces for we have some deeply depressing news to impart: Luke Jermay has left the Strip.

Not only that, but he’s left Vegas and returned to Blighty. So much for the British invasion (although to be fair we’ve still got Matt Goss and Tom Lowe and, um, if we must, Robin Leach.

What we’re really sad about though is seeing another good magic(ish) show hit the dust. We really liked Mental and much as we love O’Sheas, we think it’s a poorer place without it.

Come on people, let’s support freaky Vegas. Everyone go out and see a magic show this weekend because it's starting to feel like every time you clap for a Cirque show, a mindreader/magician/contortionist dies. Just make sure it’s not Believe.

Luke Jermay may not be at O’Shea’s any longer, but you know what is? Psychic Universe.

Yes, take your pressing questions (for O’Shea’s they would be: should I go home with that guy/girl or will they turn out to be wearing Ed Hardy underwear, should I throw all my money at the tables tonight, will that last $3 Irish Car Bomb turn out to be a mistake?) along to the psychics, and they will tell you what you need to know.

Luke Jermay Is No More (At O'Sheas At Least)

Where: 3555 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109

Sad news coming from O’Sheas’ (even sadder than the man who once vomited on our bar seat when we went to the bathroom): Luke Jermay has closed.

We had an email from a reader on Friday saying that she’d heard that it was the last day for Mind Reader (aka Mental) and Dirty Minds that night.

One of their sites says this is the first stage of their "move". Was the show canceled and do you know where Luke Jermay is moving to?

End of the 'Mental Goes Free' Saga (Upshot: It's Not Free)

Where: 3555 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109

Well we seem to have a definitive answer (for now, at least) on the ‘are there still free tickets to Luke Jermay’s show at O’Sheas’ question. And the answer is no. No there aren’t.

After we asked WTF was going on on Friday, O’Sheas twittered us to say that regular tickets are $44.95, but you can get them from the box office for $20 (including two free drinks). How to get the deal? Either with a coupon (good luck finding one) or, they say, “just mention 'free drinks deal'”.

Not Even Luke Jermay Seems to Know What's Going On With Luke Jermay's Show

Where: 3555 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109
April 2, 2010 at 3:39 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

Anyone know what’s going on with Luke Jermay down at O’Sheas? Because your guess is pretty much as good as ours at the moment.

Mental appears to have had its name changed to Mind Reader. According to the website, it runs at 8pm, as it has since the going free scam controversy.

Only thing is, when we decided to go the weekend before last, and dispatched our date to go pick up the free vouchers (at 7.30pm), he told us that there were no voucher girls, and the casino folk told him the show had started at 7pm. Which means either he wanted to stand us up, or the people down there are in a proper bugger’s muddle.

Coupons, Yes, But A Box Office That's Still Charging $53: Why That Doesn't Make Mental A Free Show

Where: 3555 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109
March 10, 2010 at 1:54 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

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

Where: 3555 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109
March 9, 2010 at 2:29 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

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

Where: 3555 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109
March 5, 2010 at 12:01 PM | by juliab | 1 Comment

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

Where: 3555 Las Vegas Boulevard South [map], 89109

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

Where: 3555 Las Vegas Blvd S [map], 89109
January 26, 2010 at 1:05 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

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

Where: 3555 Las Vegas Blvd S [map], 89109

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.
