Vegas in the 70's

So with my Vegas trip postponed (see previous post), I did do a little mini-Vegas on Friday and Saturday: poker with my friends JS and Jimmy Z at both River Rock Casino and the 101 Casino. I played well: three tournaments, two final tables, one victory. Food wise, we went old-school (surprise, surprise) on Friday, eating at the City Limits Restaurant within the 101 Casino. Why is it 'like Vegas in the 70's"? The food is great, focused on beef, and very inexpensive... because they want to take your money gambling!

Anyway, when the City Limits Restaurant first opened, I thought to myself, "No way is this going to work." But it's flourishing. The card players like it and the word has gotten out among the locals how inexpensive it is. I love it. I love the decor and the fact that the staff, led by Food and Bev Director John Timberlake, treat you like they want you to come dine with them. (For my rant on soul-less, plastic hostesses, see my earlier post: Shin-kicking the Hostess.) Check it out. Great food, very well priced... and the card room is only steps away.
