Mr. O'Lucky's luck runs out
Lovers of Vegas kitsch are mourning the passing of Mr. O'Lucky, the giant leprechaun who lived at the front of Fitzgeralds Hotel and Casino downtown during the '80s and early '90s. Mr. O'Lucky perished in flames at Vegas' famed Neon Boneyard, to which he had retired a few years back.
Speaking of the Fitz, here's some interesting trivia for you:
Fitzgeralds is the tallest hotel/casino in downtown Las Vegas, and was for 15 years the tallest building in all of Nevada. It lost the title when the Stratosphere Tower was erected.
Despite its pervasive Irish theme, Fitzgeralds is the only hotel/casino in Nevada owned by an African American: Don Barden, the CEO of a gaming company called Majestic Star Casino LLC. (Of course, the Fitz was "Irish" before Barden bought it.)
