This might as well be called the Special Restaurant Edition of this
list. :) Lots of good ideas and discussion. Let's keep it up. :)
. . .
As you probably figured, this mailing was held up in order to let the 48
hour voting window expire and report the results in this mailing. See
below.
. . .
They tell me (the ubiquitous "they") that "Spamalot" will be opening
at the Wynn "within the year", at least that's what "they" tell me. :)
Do you think this would be something our group would enjoy?

Ok, let's put this down as a possibility. A few questions ...
What's the overall type and atmosphere of the place? Is it more of a
restaurant, nightclub, showroom? Any regular entertainment?
Do you think this would be a possibility for a large group meal?
What type of cuisine? Atmosphere? Price range?
With the history of shut-downs, changes, and turnovers of businesses in
that area, does it appear that it will be around, open, and in the same
state next April?
Full of questions, aren't I? :)

And I'm thinking about both as possibilities for Eating Out Night
smaller groups, as opposed to large group things.

I haven't heard about the rugr^H^H^H^Hkids. I've heard the atmosphere is
"loud and festive" and not the place to hold an intimate conversation.
But -- if there are a lot of kids, it might not be a good choice.
>I would suggest Marie Callendars for a new group venue.
That's a nice casual place and it has a good variety of food, something
that even the most picky food creep will like.

Boulder Station is off the central corridor, but really is not
that far away. It would be a possibility for an EON selection.
We've been to Palace Station (buffet) before, but from what I've been
hearing, the buffet over there has slipped from what it used to be.
>The Rainbow Lounge although a bit small is good and they have
>entertainment on several nights.
It looked good the one time I was in there, although I didn't have
anything to eat. I see this is a good contender for a "safe" option
for EON.
>Smith and Wollensky, Gallaghers and lawry's are pretty pricey.
Uh-huh, they sure are. :) Some people do want upscale options for
group meals or EON type things.
Thanks, Nora. :)

I've heard good things about this place, but haven't been there.

Ok, two votes for each three above. :) These sound like definite
possibilities.
>RAINBOW GRILL: havent been there myself but have heard good things.
Where is this? What type of food? What price range?
>TGI FRIDAYS: everybody's been to one. we have several in las vegas.
>moderate prices. interesting menu. also have a nation wide trivia
>game. can seat 40 to 50 at most locations.
Oh yes, ubiquity at its finest. :) I see this as a good EON selection
for those who are maybe just venturing out into more mainstream places
and want something more contemporary than Marie C's.
>THE BLUE OX: havent been there as a group but it is one of my regular

I forgot about this one. Yes, I agree it would be a good one. I get
the vibes like it would be t-friendly.
