Irish spirit has hit Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Pipe Band led a parade through New York-New York hotel-casino and through the faux-Brooklyn Bridge on the Strip. New York-New York COO Cynthia Kiser Murphey led a traditional Guinness toast.

On the other side of the Strip, the LINQ Promenade held its own St. Patrick’s Day parade. Green beer abounded as bagpipers and stilt-walkers marched toward O’Sheas Bar and Restaurant.

“America’s Got Talent’s” Tape Face also made an appearance.
