That's an abbreviation of the Latin "et alia," meaning "and others," sometimes used in place of the more colloquial "etc." in scholarly or legal writing.

Seating Section 6.  Hotel Park MGM.  Airplane fares & hotel are inexpensive.  See y'all there

[Iceberg]

I was thinking of going to Las Vegas but decided against it. That's a very slow time compared to the rest of the year so I'm not surprised flights and lodging are still in the lower end of the price range. It should be a good time

Scheez, and here I thought you bought Al a ticket.

Attending. No ticket yet. Staying on for CES. Flying out Thursday or Friday makes for a dirt cheap ticket in one direction The airport is stuffed with people headed home Wednesday and Thursday.

Fwiw Cornell's designated sections are 6, 7, & 8

[Weder]

I'll be there in one of the GA sections. Note that there is an official alumni reception before the Friday game if you feel like spending $50 for hot dogs and popcorn (a relative bargain for the Strip!)

Huh?

15 Places For Cheap Food for Under $20 in Las Vegas

I thought the whole point of food on the Strip is bring in suckers customers to lose money gambling to experience the thrills and excitement of gaming.

If they still have nickle slots, one way to stay within budget is to buy a roll of nickles and pass a couple of hours playing the slots, while the casino offers you free drinks. It's a fun cocktail hour. The last time I did it I came out about $35 ahead.

My folks used to take the gambling bus down to Atlantic City.  They'd use the food vouchers, hang out on the beach, then head home.  No gambling.

I mean, the "cheap" places on that list are no bargain. The pizza place, for example, is about $6 a slice. I was mostly joking about the reception being a bargain, but the fact is that the cheap food days of the Strip are largely long gone.

As are the cheap seats for seeing "The Rat Pack". I remember my uncles talking about the entertainment being a relative bargain in the 60's.

[upprdeck]

there a lot of pretty good value eating places in vegas, never been to any on this list though.
