Well the digital SLRs by Nikon are sweet...but you won't get that into the venue. I am currently using a Canon powershot SD870-IS. It's only 8 mpx but the quality is really nice. Here's one:

The newer Nikon (10mp) has a 5x optical zoom as opposed to the older one with the 3x. So keep that in mind.

Get a Canon IXUS 75. Its an absolutely cracking little camera with a fantastic lens.
It is 7mp with 3x optical zoom and loads of built in features. I wouldnt change mine for anything. great camera !!!

I also agree that the Canon IXUS is the one to go with. If you can afford the 80 rather than the 75, it is better. The 75 is around the $230-260 mark and is great value - I use mine alot. Here's a pic using it -
