Rí Rá Irish Pub recently wrapped up its annual Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day celebration, which ran from September 15–21, 2025. The week-long event not only brought the Irish spirit to the Las Vegas Strip but also supported a great cause for HELP of Southern Nevada, a local nonprofit focused on ending homelessness in the community. Throughout the week, guests enjoyed a special, curated menu featuring traditional Irish cuisine, including dishes like Irish Stew, Shepherd’s Pie, Fish and Chips and more, with 20% of all proceeds donated directly to HELP. Rí Rá Irish Pub raised over $3,500.
The Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day celebration not only offered an opportunity for guests to indulge in authentic Irish food and drinks but also provided an occasion to reflect on the importance of supporting those in need. The success of this year’s event represents the power of community engagement and highlights the ongoing efforts required to tackle homelessness in Southern Nevada.

About Rí Rá Las Vegas
Crafted in the warm pub style of 19th century Ireland, Rí Rá Las Vegas is located inside The Shoppes at Mandalay Place. The authentic Irish pub features a multitude of artifacts that were carefully restored in Wicklow, Ireland and shipped to their new home in Las Vegas. Rí Rá Las Vegas contains an authentic Victorian Shop bar that began its life in Ireland in the 1880s, a whiskey bar adorned with an original glazed jewelry cabinet from 1900, an oak floor from a whiskey distillery and an 8-foot-tall, 500-pound carved plaster statue of St. Patrick dating back to 1850. The pub hosts live entertainment seven nights a week in a music room constructed with artifacts dating back to 1890 from the Olympia Theater in Dublin, Ireland. Born and raised in Dublin, Rí Rá Las Vegas owners David Kelly and Ciaran Sheehan have been close friends since they were 14 years old. Kelly and Sheehan later partnered with Jay Luther, whom Kelly met while working for Guinness. Rí Rá Las Vegas is one of nine pubs the trio has opened in the U.S.
