PRICES

[winoweenie]

Out on the river and using the hotels computer. In Laughlin Nevada at the Riverside Hotel. Ate in the Gourmet room last nite and Had a marvelous meal. Had a bottle of 97 Jordon that was priced at 72 bucks. This is about double their cost . This is my take on this MrD, WC, Boto, et al,When you go out to eat, if the place gives you the pleasure you're looking for in the dining, drinking, and attitude departments, whatever the price is worth it. I don't go back to a restaurant that I think is overcharging me for the level of pleasure they deliver. I firmly believe that the owner of an establishment knows his/her costs better than I so my way of retaliating is not to come again.On the other hand, I have certain places all over the west I love and frequent every time I'm in the area. Imperial Palace in Hanford Ca.( Try to find it on a map) with Mr. Lees' exquisite Escargot and 60,000 bottle wine cellar, The Crustacean in San Fran, Chez Panisse in Berkely etc. etc. and so on. The fun and dining experience far outweighs what profit these marvelous joints enjoy. Guess I'm somewhere in the middle of MrD and Buckos' and where Roberto stands. The view of the Colorado river last nite with the boats and the sunset and lights was outstanding. The meal was just an added enjoy. Glad ther 'haint been no blood-shed on this here subject yet. WW
