Headed There Soon
Thanks for your input on my thread regarding two days on a rental 1200GS - the comments from the other inmates were helpful too. What month were you there for this trip? How were the temperatures?...

Yes!
You all are amazing...these suggestions are right up the alley of what I was looking for. I'm basically planning on arriving, renting, and riding - I don't want to sleep in Vegas until Friday night....

How'd the Restaurant Do?
I'm always curious to hear how the restaurant handled such a crush of customers, even with advance warning. How'd they do?
