Wishing there was one of these next door to The Peppermill...

Over at UNLV Gaming Research Center they've got an an exibition titled "50 Years of Dining on the Las Vegas Strip" that I found interesting. Starts off with El Rancho Vegas just kind of backing into the development of the buffet and takes the theme up to today's celeb chef places. I enjoyed a couple of pics of the Sands Garden Room where Frank Sinatra drove a golf cart through a window and Carl Cohen served him a knuckle sandwich as well as a big can of Howard Hughes Whoop A$$. 1980 and the coffee shop at the Riv was Cafè Noir. Cafè Noir. Bet you couldn't get a breakfast burrito there either! Might be worth a look: http://gaming.unlv.edu/dining/index.html
