What once started as a religious feast day during the 17th century in honor of St. Patrick, the patron of Ireland, has now become a global celebration. Many partake in the drinking portion of the holiday and that’s quite fine in our book. We too are fans of effervescence. Luckily, Las Vegas is anything but short of places to join in on the celebration.
1. RI RA
Ri Ra commences its one-week celebration on Monday, March 12 and continues through to Sunday, March 18. On St. Patrick’s Day, the doors will open at 5:30 a.m. just in time to enjoy the Irish classic “All-Day Irish Breakfast” served with two eggs, Irish sausages and rashers, black and white pudding, grilled tomato, sautéed mushrooms, and toast. Live entertainment will be in session every day of the week.
