The place is fine as far as I'm concerned. It's central - it works....


Jody -- you and I can email about next year.


I was more trying to PING someone - either you or a mod - that if someone was on it from LAT G -- to get the bar "private" for the night - or add a cocktail waitress etc. This is has been done now for 3 years or so. It's a LAT G event... take the ball and run with it a little.

I understand what you're saying, but this was not something started by us, it was started by Mark. I appreciate him doing that. But I never felt we should step in and take it over, it was not our deal. I had not even considered and had no knowledge that Mark was pre-warning them that we were coming or I would have done it.

Maybe we could find a place that had drinks and food, and would WANT us there, instead of trying to get a minimum amount of money to have us show up, where they would then make a lot more money. Seems to me there has to be places that would love to have 100+ customers showing up to eat and drink for several hours.

Agree with you there Jody!


It just would be nice if there was some service and some food AVAILABLE to purchase for those that would want to take advantage of that.... that way a group could sit down BS - eat - have a couple beers or whatever.... and not have to be starving and STANDING after standing all day.

I agree the low key setting is nice. I would skip it if it was a formal dinner.

Maybe if we could find a better restaurant/Bar it might be little better. But I almost think we could just order some pizza to be delivered to Sin City and achieve the same result.

The Johnny rockets in the Flamingo is crazy expensive. I paid 32 bucks for 2 cheeseburger combos.

Curtis, only if the Taco truck gets a good pro-touring treatment

I like the pizza idea! That would be perfect. I'd personally chip in $250 for some pizzas. Then add a waitress and it would be all great!

I'm happy to help in whatever way you need Mark, let me know. Just didn't want to take over something that I wasn't running. And I definitely don't want to get scolded by Greg again............
