So who is going to Vegas even if there is no game???

i know everyone insists on listing steakhouses in the steakhouse/restaurant category... and Craftsteak in particular. but from what i understand, Carnevino (Mario Batali's place) at the Palazzo is the wheel. i've eaten at Cut, also at the Palazzo, and i thought they beat Craftsteak as well.

This!

I will still be going to Vegas even though the game will probably not happen.

What I'm not sure of is if I will purchase tickets to a regular season game this year. Yes, its kind of silly but FF is an investment of time, money and time off work. The NHL and PA are assclowns for not getting this done.

Maybe we can arrange a couple locations to gather Fri/Sat so people who come in various times have a chance to meet up?

Also, I am soliciting advice for MUST go eat/drinks/sights while there. I have a few buddies coming in from different states who rarely make it to Las Vegas so I want to at least hit a one or two good restaurants with them and find some good gambling, attractions.

Feel free to throw out suggestions for the following:

Best Steak House (or restaurant):

Musashi Japanese Steakhouse. Its like Benihana but on crack. We initially saw it The Travel Channel's "Steak Paradise 2". We usually end up going there twice in a weekend. You can very easily roll your stuffed ass out of there for $50/head and be more than content. Unless you want Kobe. Then you're looking at a about $80. That same amount of food at somewhere like Craftsteak would be WAY over $100. Thank me later.

If you want to go that route you can also try Geisha Steakhouse on DI at Sandhill, the food is very good.

If you like Thai, try Sticky E Rice, DI and Eastern, I rank it up there with Lotus of Siam, but it is much easier to actually get into and eat.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but the Steak House at Circus Circus is always good as well.

It is every perverts dream, it is a glass staircase that runs between the second and third floor of the Chandelier bar at the Cosmo, sit in the right place and enjoy the view.

Doubt it, they only started opening up for them last month. They also open for Sammy Hagar when he plays at Cabo Wabo.

Two more weeks and off to Vegas we go. should be an interesting weekend without a frozen fury game.

Dear Echoes of Hope,

While the poker tourney is fitting for Vegas, I request that you also put together a charity hockey tourney soon. TSC would be a fine location.

Some of us giggle when we get a good hand, so playing poker just doesn't work out very well.
