Paint Rí Rá Las Vegas Black By Donating $1 At The Pub To Support The Firefighters of
Southern Nevada Burn Foundation
Rí Rá Las Vegas will paint its bar black by collecting donations at the pub for the Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation to support the nonprofit’s efforts to assist victims of fire and other catastrophic events. Guests may purchase a black GUINNESS®-branded paper firefighter helmet for $1 at Rí Rá. The pub will then hang the helmets together, eventually painting the wall black.
The Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation consists of fire department active personnel from Las Vegas Fire & Rescue, Clark County, Henderson, North Las Vegas and Nellis Fire Departments. The Burn Foundation also works closely with the Burn Unit at UMC hospital in helping to care for these victims, in a joint effort to help those families in need after such a catastrophic event. In the past year, the Burn Foundation has raised approximately $32,000 to assist families confronted with a catastrophic event.
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. On the weekends, guests can kick back at Rí Rá Live, where every Friday and Saturday at 11:30 p.m. the best bands in town take the pub’s stage. 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 the 12th pub the trio has opened in the U.S.
