Las Vegas Roll Call

[Beeeej]

In dss28's and my opinion the Fatburger on the Strip is excellent as far as quick-casual burger places go. For steak, we highly recommend The Steakhouse at Circus Circus; as long as you can stand to walk through the horrible casino floor to get there, it's totally worth it.

Any recommendations for good ethnic restaurants, e.g. Thai, Ethiopian, Moroccan, Jamaican, Sichuan?

Not really - we had some good (but not spectacular) "revolving sushi" in Chinatown last time we were there in September, but we don't tend to go out of our way to find the others you mentioned. The one I really wish I could recommend is a sushi place where we had an absolutely amazing, creative Omakase for a friend's birthday several years ago, but we've never been able to remember the name of the place or figure out what it was (nor can the friend and his wife, who now live there, so it's especially frustrating for them), to our detriment and yours. Sorry.

Friends in Vegas who consider themselves sushi aficionados swear by a place on Sahara called Sushi Fever. http://www.sushifevervegas.com/ I have been there and have enjoyed their chicken katsu, but I'm not a sushi eater. Perhaps this is the place you are thinking of. It's been there at least fifteen years, and perhaps longer.

I don't believe it is, but thanks for the suggestion. They don't even appear to offer an Omakase, though that's not proof they've never offered it.

This way to the ice floe.

Frankenstein reference?

For Thai - Lotus of Siam.  Has been called the best Thai food in America, and it is certainly the best I have found.  I think the original location is closed for renovations, but they have a second one.  Worth the 10 minute ride from the strip.

Thanks, Todd.

I'll have a car.  Anything is an option.

In the USCHO TMQ column Jim Connelly states that he'll be in LV. So let's win and get the publicity, as well as PWR points.

Always so biased Jim ... we'll have 3 CHN people in Vegas!

They mentioned Cornell in this week' column, so they won't have to do it again until March.

Just so long as they are writing about us in April...

Now Adam, how was supposed to know that. Mention it in a column and I might post it.

So, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, ..."

And by the way, you forgot to mention that I gave you a link when I posted your PWR for this week.

So there.::burnout::

[jkahn]

I'll be there in Vegas with my wife.  Haven't bought game tickets yet, but I think there'll be enough seats.

[CAS]

Yup there will be plenty of seats.  Again the designated Cornell sections are 6,7, & 8.

It's not really all that exciting to mention in actuality. We're all going because it's an excuse to go to Vegas. With 60 teams to report about, this tournament really doesn't have that much more significance than any other - except this has a pretty good field, relatively speaking. So don't expect 15 stories on Cornell this weekend. Over/under on Cornell stories this weekend ... 0.5

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

Eat up. Yum! [video]https://youtu.be/TDYw9cFhUeQ[/video]

Just decided that since they were coming most of the way to me in California then I would return the favor. Going with my dad who just turned 90!

Fri: GA (Cornell sections not available) and reception in Toshiba Plaza
Sat: Section 6

Staying at the Delano Mandalay Bay. (Might have done the MGM had I known about the Cornell deal that was noted in my reception confirmation)

Does anyone know if any version of the pep band is showing up?
