One last blast at O’Sheas
At around 2 a.m. Tuesday, the old Flamingo parking garage behind O'Sheas will be imploded to make way for Project Linq.
O'Sheas, a 22,000-square-foot standalone casino with no hotel rooms, opened in 1989. It is being demolished as part of the construction for the $550 million Project Linq. The retail, dining and entertainment development, being built by Caesars Entertainment Corp., is anchored by a 550-foot observation wheel and is expected to open in 2013.
Demolishing the parking garage and the closing of O'Sheas are the most public signs that Project Linq, which is modeled after The Grove in Southern California, is moving forward.
A scaled-down version of O'Sheas will become part of Project Linq.
