Yea I went there over the holidays to see the ICE exhibit. (By the way, that's way overpriced, joe bob says skip it).

But the Texan Station was pretty neat. It looked a lot like one of the sports books in vegas. There was a humongous screen and a lot of larger ones with sports games. I'm not sure if they do the NBA-league pass or not or what games they have. The food was pretty standard fare, cheapest thing was a hot-dog and fries I think for about $8.00. So it's sorta pricey.

It would be really nice to watch a big away game on. The rest of the gaylord is also pretty neat with an inside atrium with lot's of water/plants/shops and some other restaurants.

We are thinking of spending a night there sometimes as walking around down there at night would be enjoyed by the wife quite a bit. But I'm sure it'll be a pretty stout bill.

On another note my daughter went to the Angelika to watch some of the finals games on a theatre screen. She said it was free to get in and there is a bar there.

I think I've been there - is this the big sports bar(s) that are sort of downstairs?

I was there for a company function and we just went down afterwards to goof off. The place is so damn big, I didn't know just exactly where I was within it at any given time.

Methinks so.

I'm looking for a good place for Saturday nite's game. I'm supposed to be entertaining my cousin from out of town and it just so happens that da boys are complicating things. Do they have shops in the atrium where the wives can wander off while we watch the game?

my former roommate used to work at this place, and so did my sister.

It's ok to hang out there every once in a while, if you have the money. The drinks are over priced, and the food is more over priced. (I havent been there in more than a year, this might have changed?)

I think it's overrated, personally. but worth checking out once if you like to feel like you're in a fancy place with expensive drinks.

There is some wife-wandering to be done. There are many restaurants and shops in that place.

I wouldn't go there a lot, but for a special game, sure. There are a bunch of things for wives to do outside of the sports bar.

I'm going to a conference there this year. Can't wait.
