Ellis Island is always busy, be prepared for a wait, sometimes an
hour,
they do not take reservations. If you are going to use any type of
coupon
make sure you have a players card. Ellis Island sometimes make you
jump
through more hoops than the average casino.

If you want ribs at the bbq, get there at 4pm when they open (bbq)
otherwise
be prepared for a long wait.

Ellis Island is way overblown, I eat there many times on 2/1's, if not
for the
2/1's and a few match play coupons, I wouldn't bother. The menu is
small
and for the $4.95 steak special, it is not worth the trip.

Maybe the myth busters should check this and the 99c shrimp out.

Didn't the $4.95 steak go up to $5.95?

A few of us will still be in town. I leave for home at some point on the
12th.

There's an Albertson's supermarket up the block from the Inn-N-Out on
Tropicana. There's also a Walgreens right on the Strip about one block
north of the MGM where you can pick up some groceries such as milk,
eggs, soft drinks, snacks, etc.

Beats me. I would just take a cab.

if by 'up the block' you mean 3 or so miles then you're spot on. It's at
Jones and Trop (SE corner). There's also a Smith's there, on the NW corner.
