The closure of the original O’Sheas was heart-breaking, especially for Brian Thomas, the heart of O’Sheas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe Lucky magic rubbed off on the new O’Sheas, as it is reportedly the most profitable part of the Linq casino.<\/p>\n
Thomas is moving on to other opportunities, apparently, although specifics haven’t been shared yet.<\/p>\n
Thomas has moonlighted in TV, film and commercials, and when we reached out to him for this article, he was officiating a wedding.<\/p>\nSmall guy, huge fanbase.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHe’s also been spotted hosting pool parties at Flamingo and working the crowd at Carnaval Court at Harrah’s.<\/p>\n
A highlight of Lucky’s career? In 2009, he received the Key to the City from then-Mayor Oscar Goodman.<\/p>\n
Funny, but a St. Paddy’s Day photo op with Holly Madison would’ve been our pick. That was 2011. Yes, we’ve been doing this a long time.<\/p>\nThey didn’t call him Lucky for nothing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnother fun Lucky fact: Brian Thomas isn’t Irish, he’s Lebanese.<\/p>\n
It’s hard to overstate the impact Brian Thomas has had on Las Vegas. He’s a symbol not just of a popular casino, but of the town itself.<\/p>\n
Given how many stories he’s inspired, and how many selfies he’s been in, Thomas has achieved a form of Las Vegas immortality reserved for such luminaries as Wayne Newton and Elvis.<\/p>\n
We wish Brian Thomas all the best in his endeavors.<\/p>\nVirtual hugs, Brian.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt’s unknown if Caesars Entertainment will try to find another actor to play Lucky. Good luck with that.<\/p>\n
For a little guy, Lucky’s are some big shoes to fill.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
