I have been to bachelor parties in Vegas and you know the saying. But on this trip the gf and I were going to check out a tasteful topless show. Not the girls with the big feathers or the girls with the leopard skin bikinis. Fantasy is a live show in the Luxor with approximately ten to twelve acts of dancing, singing and comedy. The girls were very good looking in their sequin bottoms and showing their b-cup ta- tas but they could dance and be seductive too. I thought the show was very tasteful and worth taking your partner too. The two girls who did the singing sang songs such as Black Velvet, Gypsy, those kinda sultry songs. I'm glad they mixed the music for the dancing girls. I must admit the comedian was very funny and he kept everyone laughing. At the end of the show you could talk to the girls, take pictures and collect autographs (Love & Kisses..Sugar)

While this is a beautiful property, they are in no way, shape or form ready for large conventions. With only one ballroom, we had to clear out of meetings and wait in a small hallway while the staff set up for meals. This morning we have 1 hour for breakfast buffet. There is one table with food and over 300 people to be served. Really??? And they're all lined up in the sun. I'm just hoping it won't require medical intervention. Later today: At 9:45, I finally sat down to eat my buffet breakfast, which had opened at 9am. Yep...it took 45 minutes to get to the end of the line. About one minute (literally) after I sat down, the staff started breaking down the juice bar. They continued to refill the food and coffee, but took the juice away. The two ladies who did this, also watched as the wind knocked over some tall table decorations (hotel decoration, not our convention), and said to each other, "I knew that would happen," then looked the other way. Guess that part wasn't in their job description. On Saturday, there was an invitation only breakfast for the convention, leaving the restaurant as the only place to dine. They had a hostess and 2 waitresses for approximately 40 tables and 100 guests. My check was delivered before my food (45 minutes). My breakfast was comped (hostess was very apologetic), and delicious (oatmeal and bacon), but I saw several others leave without ever receiving food. Not prepped for the onslaught of conventioneers. I hate giving one star to a place with excellent food, beautiful room and a 50% "give a crap" ratio on their staff, but this rating is for convention-appropriateness.

I happened to be hungry on the East side so I headed into the Cannery after reading positive remarks about their Mexican restaurant. Sadly, Casa Cocina (doesn't that just mean 'house of kitchen'?) is only open for dinner so we went to Snaps, their diner. Well, as you may have guessed the meal was pretty dull, but the highlight was the chicken soup. It was made from scratch, had a lot of flavor, and was well-seasoned. Most suprisingly, the egg noodles (someone in the kitchen knows the right noodles to use for chicken soup) were perfectly cooked without an inkling of sogginess. Had I ordered a bowl rather than a cup and passed on the sorry excuse for parmesan onion rings and cafeteria side salad I would have been quite happy. Just a little FYI in case you find yourself in the East Side Cannery and need something snappy....

This was (and will be) my only visit to this local establishment. Invited there for a friend's birthday party and it was not conducive to discussions without raising my voice above the steady vibrations of a huge audio speaker right near the table. THe table was on a raised platform next to another large party of about 30 people. there were no other large tables to accomodate us. The food was expensive but not worth it. One young lady was the lone waitress for us and the other party (and several other tables it seems) and she was running back and forth constantly. It is a large place and if I didn't know better it's strictly a sports/party bar that also serves food. What with so many restaurants competing in the S Charlotte/Ballantyne area for the same customers, you have to experience a place and then decide. I've decided. Thanks.
