Where to Be on March 17, 2010

St. Patrick's Day is coming up soon there are a few Irish Pub's that you really should check out if you will be celebrating it in Las Vegas.

You see, every year, St. Patrick's Day goes down on March 17. Oh how sad, it'll be on Wednesday this year.

St. Patrick's Day Fun Fact:St. Patrick is renowned for chasing all of the snakes out of Ireland. A good trick, considering there were no snakes in Ireland circa 400 AD. What this most likely refers to is his getting rid of the druids and their wacky pagan religion since the druid symbol was the snake.

The first St. Patrick's day was hold in Boston, yes in Boston not in Ireland in 1737

Oh don't forget to wear your green Shamrock or you may be in for a pinch or two.

Sean Patrick's Located at the Flamingo, Sean Patrick's is definitely striving for a more authentic Irish pub experience. Unfortunately, it combines this with a touch of class. What a shame.

The food is traditional Irish fare and tastes as bad as you might expect it to. Go for the decor and the beer. If you eat the corned beef hash, we fully expect you to die on the toilet.

Kavanaugh's Irish Pub & Grill Located off the Strip at 3290 W Ann Road, Kavanaugh's is a great place to go if you like to complain. There is very little about Kavanaugh's that makes it an Irish pub. The beer selection is terrible and the food has nothing to do with the Emerald Isle's cuisine. Other than that, it's a decent pub.

The Crown and Anchor Pub What better way to get in the Irish spirit than heading to one of the best English pubs in Vegas and getting into a fight. Now remember, you don't actually have to fight an Englishman, it's the spirit of the affair that matters. Just find the most arrogant man in the place and tell him you don't like the way he's looking at you. The action should take care of itself from there. And don't forget to scream, "Sinn Fein forever!" They love it when you do that.

Located at the Tropicana, The Crown and Anchor's fish and chips are the best in town, so you might want to try them out before you start swinging. Good luck and have fun.

McFadden's Restaurant and Saloon Recently opened this year at the Rio, McFadden's isn't going to blow your mind, but it's a decent pub with standard pub grub, like nachos and wings, done well. It's a big place at 7,000 square feet, as it occupies the same space as the Rio's previous Irish pub, the Tilted Kilt. It's an improvement over the previous pub, especially in the areas of food and decor.

Quinn's Irish Pub Located at the Green Valley Ranch, Quinn's is a very comfortable place to have pint and an even better place to turn it up to 11. However, what really won us over at Quinn's was its beer pong tournament. Check it out and maybe we'll see you there.

McMullan's Irish Pub Like the Crown and Anchor, McMullan's is located at the Tropicana. It has some great specials between midnight and 8 a.m. with two-for-one drinks. So belly up at 6 a.m. and get your St. Patty's Day started off right!

Nine Fine Irishmen Located in the New York-New York Hotel & Casino, Nine Fine Irishmen is not only the finest in Irish pubs in Vegas; it's arguably the best all-round bar.
