The restaurants are all within walking distace (0.6 mi) of the hotel, and the list tells you what they are. The vicinity map shows the various freeways, roads and streets. The light-rail runs along First Street, just to the west of the hotel, and will take you to the downtown area (more restaurants, such as Original Joe’s) and several attractions. There is also a Fry’s Electronic store nearby.In addition to the restaurants listed below, there is a good, reasonably priced restaurant close by, with a very varied lunch menu. We have arrangements for the hotel shuttle to take a group there, and pick us up after lunch. If there’s enough interest, the same thing can be worked out for Sunday, or even for breakfast on Sunday morning (they open at 7:00 on Sunday).
Yes, we followed the tradition of giving “door prizes” and other prizes to attendees. Here’s a partial list of the goodies that were on the Prize Table this year.
