Ledgies - margetritaville - reservations.
 

Okaydokee.... Just got off the phone with jennifer from guest services...

1. Won't make reservations or set aside an area unless we all get dinner at a minimum of $36.00 a person.

2. At 10:30 live music starts, so it kinda goes into nightclub mode.

3. First come first served for seating without dinner.

4. Stops serving food at 12:00 am (midnight)

She was nice, but based on this, I think we should look into another venue that wants to work with us. (Come on, its a no-nothing Tuesday night...They could have set aside an area..... :mad: ) $36.00 seems a bit steep to me. (Nice discount for 50 people group....yeah right).


Sooo........Any other suggestions? I will keep looking and see what I can find. Any suggestions? Ideas? Comments? :shrug:


I think an idea might be to meet beforehand for picture, then storm the place ALL AT ONCE and ask for a table for 50. That would work. LOL We could take over one of the patio sections.

hmm. :(

I am thinking the same thing. ATTACK! ARRRG.....In a pirate sort of way (still looking for a backup plan)

$36 - no friggin way. I'm up for chancing it by walking right on in - I highly doubt that Margaritaville will be that crowded on a Tuesday (for God's sake!) What are they gonna do, tell us we're giving them too much business? :rolleyes: I really want to go there, but if you guys want to try elsewhere:

What about Nine Fine Irishmen at NYNY? I know they're open late, but no clue as far as reservations & such go. I believe the Brew Pub at Monte Carlo is open late to. Neither is terribley far.

Read my mind, looking at those now........ :laugh:

The Monte Carlo Pub and Brewery is open until 3am. They do brick oven pizzas, gourmet wraps, salads, and sandwiches. Nine Fine Irishmen is a little more expensive ($15-$30) and the restaurant is only open until 10 while the bar is open until 3am.

I'm thinking we just go ahead and chance Margaritaville. If we get there too late and can't find more options, there's a 24 hour cafe in The Flamingo overlooking the penguins and whatnot. I don't know if they'd be able to handle all of us or not.

Even on a Tuesday there are ALWAYS people in Vegas up and eating, so I'm not sure, given how big a group we might have, that chancing mararitaville makes sense. Why not try this Monte Carlo Pub if they're open late?

Okay... I see a pattern here. Looks like 9 irishmen is not-a-go from a price standpoint. I think what they are doing is "renting" us the spaces. (SO they won't lose the business form us holding it for many hours.) I just spoke to Maureen and while she was very helpful, I am not going to sign a contract for thousands of dollars to fund the get together. (Sorry my piggybank is kinda empty from buying tickets).

I kinda understand, if we reserve 50 spaces and then noone shows up , they are out cash they could have been getting from other dinners. This looks like just a stormin norman kinda night. Pick a place and attack. (Shouldn't be a big deal on a Tuesday night at 11:00.)

The irish pub looks nice though.

That sounds good, the Monte Carlo. So does storming Margaritaville.

Let's storm Margaritaville Tuesday and crash Monte Carlo's brew pub on Wednesday!

Screw the Irishmen - sounds really nice, but I'm seriously broke. seriously. :nod:

I think another issue we have to consider is location. Monte Carlo would be a bit of a walk and if people get caught up talking to people after the show, we'll all be coming in at different times and they might not be able to serve us after a certain amount of time either. I couldn't find when they stop serving food but if it's open until 3am, last call is probably a bit before that (for alcohol). We'll be at Caesar's which is directly across the street from The Flamingo. It won't take much time at all to get from Caesar's to The Flamingo which is why I think initially, it seemed to be the best bet. To me, as far as distance after a concert is concerned, it looks like something at Caesars, The Flamingo, Paris, Bally's, or The Bellagio is the best bet (aren't they all connected by a walkway?). I'd like to go to Margaritaville but basically, out of convenience with it being across the street.

Montecarlo pub - checking now - Yup, its a stormin kinda thing. Don't want to rent the place. :laugh:

Looks good - except! Have you noticed lots of breweries don't have mixed drinks, just beer? :eek: I looked behind the bar in the pic, but I can't tell if those are liquor bottles or just glasses.... :D

Okay I think I have a battleplan.


Tuesday - All show up around sametime and ask for 2nd Balconey seating. At Margiritaville at the flamingo. Or third balcony - if we can get seats near each other. I think there will be a bit of table hoping each night.

Wednesday - All show up around the same time and try to get seated near each other at Monte Carlo Brewery.

Thursday - on -play by ear. :D

Honestly, I think we should meet after the show and kind of tromp over together. :shrug: Of course, we'll all be atwitter from Stevieness, and just generally rambunctious. :)
