Don't you just hate it when people give dining suggestions? Especially when I didn't even ask for them. I mean, like, yeah, I'm just going to traipse around Las Vegas looking for a particular restaurant when I have about 2 hours free time per day. "Suggestors" are just gloaters in disguise - they appear as they mean well but they are really just saying "I've been to that place before you". ;)


Dude, people were just trying to give you tips on where you could have a fun meal...lol. Relax.

What do you imagine my temperament was when I typed that message?

Algren, something that might interest you because it is pretty cool for film/series fans is this:

https://www.vegas.com/attractions/on-th ... sion-city/

You can go and watch a test screening of some TV series episode and then grade different aspects of it. I'd do it just for the experience of a test screening. I did it when I was there, it was some shitty season premiere of "Criminal Minds", but I found the whole process interesting.

Pretty damn cool. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm sure it was relaxed, I guess I'm just saying there was no ill intent by trying to offer up a suggestion on a place to eat.

You're welcome. If I remember correctly, you just walk up there and you get a ticket that specifies what time you have got to be there for the screening (usually an hour or two later).

If I get time to go there, I will do it. Not sure what free time I'll have yet.
