text: As regular and once happy customers of the Crown Anchor I thought it would be nice to watch The Grand National over a few pints and some breakfast with my wife who would never seen the event before and had been looking forward to it for a week prior to the event We usually visit with friends family and anybody else we can find to bring along It is a great atmosphere and worth paying a little extra for the imported draughts As I am a British and a US citizen living in Las Vegas we thought it would be a nice start to the day as the race started at am herennI tried calling the pub three times before arriving to check if you were showing the race on TV but the telephone went to the answering machine each time We arrived around minutes before the race and asked a Mexican bartender working there if you would be showing the Grand National She immediately replied Yes of course Without hesitation we bought a pint and sat down looking the menu over for some breakfastnnSeveral minutes passed and all the main televisions were still only displaying the Man YOU and Newcastle football game We would all but missed the prerace commentary and race lineup I finally had to asked what time she would be turning the TV over She said I will change it in just a minute and walked away Five minutes before the race started and after asking the cleanerrepair chap also because the bartender had disappeared on us the bartender came over to our table and said You wanted the Chelsea game I do not believe for one instant that she comprehended what I had asked before purchasing drinks I told her that we came to see The Grand National She seemed confused and asked somebody else working there Another lady in her early s came over and asked what we wanted When I told her she said something to the effect of I do not understand what is The Grand National having no idea what we were referring tonnWe were very disappointed Not only did we miss the race we arrived in plenty of time so that we would have other options if it was not shown there but we were lied to We sat there feeling like idiots with drinks to accompany quite frankly nothing It was also sad to hear that in a British Pub none of the workers currently working had any idea what a near twocenturyold race even was So if you wondered why somebody left full drinks on the table that was us As regular customers I think we will take our patronage elsewhere I will just have to wait until my biannual trip back to the UK to experiences and delights that I am still missingnnRegardsnnSean
