OK, attendees, I have made a reservation for Friday night (Nov 16th) at Tinoco's Bistro which is a reasonably priced "local Italian restaurant" with great food located at 103 East Charleston Blvd., probably about 4 blocks toward downtown from the Stratosphere. The restaurant phone number is 702-464-5008. I made the reservation for 12 to 14, assuming some will bring a spouse/guest, but I would like to confirm a number eventually. If we have more people commit to attend, I can easily increase the reservation.
It does not have a full bar, but they are able to provide some mixed drinks for a group like ours. Obviously, they have a good beer and wine selection. We will have a quasi-private room; basically, it will be a large part of a larger private room that they will divide off for us. I made the reservation for 6:30, but said we probably would not have dinner until 7 or 7:30 and we will order from the menu. I will have some type of name cards to be individually filled out at the restaurant.
If anyone has another idea to explore for this night or the followingt night, post a message or send me a PM. I plan to go to the Trader Expo sometime Friday and/or Saturday
