We are planning to go to an Irish Pub close to the stadium like Nine Fine Irishman at NY NY casino or Ri Ra in Mandalay Bay. We are up for suggestions.
at Nine Fine Irishmen on Friday. Several famous ex-ND players will be there to meet and socialize.
We’ll be going. I don’t know if you have to be an alum to go, but they did ask me for
my grad year in the signup.
My cousin works there - ask for Wally. Coincidentally, our parents (his dad and my mom are siblings) are also from PA - Scranton/Clarks Summit area.
Try to hit both nine fine and Ri Ra Saturday starting late morning. We are from Allentown, our daughter lives in Vegas and is a dancer in Vegas the Show at Planet Hollywood. We’re starting to know the area.
Fish and Chips, Shepard's Pie, etc.
the menu on-line and you hit it right on the head. It is every stereotypical irish food item.
Of German descent, I have no chips in this fight but this from Winton Marsalis and Jon Baptiste ("Boyhood") surprised me about the Irish roots of Afro-American music:
Maggiano's, perhaps Bucca Di Peppo, etc.
is a pretty cool experience, old-school place. The ghost of Sinatra still haunts it. Right behind the Flamingo.
I like their menu, but the wine list is a little lacking.
We are having dinner there on thursday,
so we shall see.
I asked the most reliable sources -- craps dealers -- and they said something is in the works but no specific dates or names.
