Yes. The restaurant is still open, but bar is now Bird Bar.

Last Sunday they were pulling Margaritville $5 chips from the rack and taking them out of circulation. I grabbed a couple since I had never seen this before. They also liked my Margaritaville Branded Players card.

The music was fantastic, the place was packed and the machines were fun! Sadly, most of the fun machines are in the hallway on the way into the casino or video poker in the back. The slots on the main floor just aren’t good. There was actually a Jimmy Buffett slot machine (two) at Cosmo. Why on earth didn’t Margaritaville Casino have a bunch of those?

Also, putting in beer pong wasn’t a great idea. I’m a beer pong connoisseur (no, really I am) and although I’ve played at O’Shea’s for years (the old O’Shea’s too), the location wasn’t ideal and it discouraged gamblers from going in there. The appeal of a Jimmy Buffett-theme is chill and drunk. Not drunken frat party. For some reason, Caesars Entertainment confused the two and started pumping pretty awful dance music in the Margaritaville Casino. It’s like they forgot who they wanted to appeal to? They also got live bands to play and although the bands were fine, that space is WAY too loud for a live band. The songs didn’t match the vibe either… Guns N’ Roses and ACDC covers don’t say “come here, sip on this cold cocktail, gamble and relax”.

The worst part of it was the long trek to the bathroom at Flamingo. If there were even 4 stalls hidden somewhere, people would stay in that casino much longer! To pee you have to go on a 15 minute hike. The same thing goes for replacing your Total Rewards card. I loved the Margaritaville-themed cards that used to be available there. They closed that desk and now you have to hike to the front of the Flamingo to replace the card. It’s like they wanted you to leave the casino. ??

I will miss Margaritaville and it’s awesome carpet. I really wish they reverted it to what it was when it first opened. It was extremely popular.

Yes, I thought those were adorable. ??

Tables were full, m cocktail waitresses were many, tables were cheep.Sure beat the long hallway to Margaritaville the restaurant a walk of nothing except Steakhouse 46. It was always full, fun and great music and TV feeds. Then they brought in the million dollar bonus games (killed let it ride, 3 card poker) – no more big winners on those games. They said they couldn’t get workers so they never opened until late afternoon or early afternoon. Cocktail waitresses were few and far between. The pit supervisors I knew said they were running it into the ground and they were right!

Not that ever went there, but I like the sign.

The first time I got a replacement slot card there, their card printer wasn’t working, so I was given a temporary Margaritaville card that said Guest something or other. I got one with my name and account number the next time I went there.

But then again, the got rid of the original O’sheas and original Barbary Coast which we dearly loved. Just goes to show that the focus is on earnings and no what people like!

However, it’s disappointing that the nickel beer happy hour thing is leaving us..it’s one of the few Vegas deals that was worth being trampled over.

Cheers..
