Owner Caesars Entertainment Corporation announced in 2011 that O'Sheas would close and relocate to become part of the upcoming Linq Promenade.

The project was built on the Las Vegas Strip, north of the company's Flamingo Hilton hotel-casino.

[10] O'Sheas' location between the Flamingo Hilton and Imperial Palace resorts meant that many pedestrians simply bypassed the small casino,[11] which lost around $2 million in its first six months.

[11] O'Sheas is briefly featured in the 1997 film Vegas Vacation,[14] when character Rusty Griswold wins a car through a slot machine sitting outside the casino.

[11] On February 26, 2000, O'Sheas made the 2001 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records by having 220 patrons contribute to the largest crowd to participate in a nationwide toast.

[23] The site of the original O'Sheas has been replaced by the Vortex, a multi-story structure marking the entrance to the Linq Promenade.

The new location contains 5,000 sq ft (460 m2),[14][25] and is also connected to the casino floor at The Linq hotel-casino, formerly the Imperial Palace.

In 1994, the casino added the Magic and Movie Hall of Fame to its second floor,[31][32][33] sharing space with a performance theater.

[34] Ventriloquist Valentine Vox served as the museum's general manager and artistic director, and also performed in the adjacent Houdini Theatre.

[37] It featured a room called "The Stage" that was visible from the Las Vegas Strip, so visitors could watch the tattoo artists work from outside.

[46] Viper Vixens, a dance show featuring topless women armed with various weapons, ran during 2011.
