Bills04 46 Posted April 23, 2022 I am! I think there is a .. Bud Light Draft Tavern "on site." I'm thinking the food will be State Fair quality.. Has anyone attended one; if so, how would you rate the food? The Linq is just West of The Draft, and it has a promenade with at least a dozen restaurants. Including one of those Tilted Kit places. I checked Yelp ratings, and I'm thinking of hitting The Yard House around 6:30, after the G-Men use (or likely trade away) their 7th pick. Free Weezer concert at 8:30. And, Burlesque show at The Bellagio Fountains at 10:30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted April 23, 2022 Burlesque shows are for the lonely. Seafoam will have a front roll seat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kopy 491 Posted April 24, 2022 I always like when Jets fans boo a young kid during the greatest moment of his life. The Vikings forgetting that they're at a draft, to actually draft is fun too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bills04 46 Posted April 29, 2022 Wowee; what a day!! The NFL had a ton of fun stuff to participate in: pic of you waiting by the phone, to be drafted; shot by the new Amazon announcers on the desk; your own trading card; a pic of you on stage holding your team's #1 jersey, with the team name on a green screen behind you; etc. Also field goal tries; throwing passes over defenders into .. laundry baskets; etc. They actually had around 8 food vendors - local restaurants with around a dozen items available at each setup. At least three Bud Light drink areas. Plenty of water refill stations. They had plenty of .. Teammates walking around in purple t-shirts, offering to take cell phone pictures or give directions, etc. The draft was good - but, boy do they set the stage BACK. The centered large screen and one on each side were key. I got in the area around 4:20 / 7:20, and headed to where I saw a set of stairs. I lucked out and got a square of space by a slightly raised white platform. Was able to sit and stand, as needed. Only saw one obnoxious guy - a short guy (Napoleon complex??) in a Richard Sherman Seahawks jersey. After the draft was over, I saw Charissa Thompson wondering around, and she interviewed a guy in a Vikings D. Cook jersey, and then two guys in front of me, in Broncos Russel Wilson jerseys. Ooooooo - did she have a HIGH slit in her skirt!! I liked the G-Men's picks of the Edge guy, and the stud OT from Bama. And, Bills got a stud DB from Florida. Gotta love the Pats, taking ANOTHER small-school guy with their first pick. I saw a funny segment Friday AM of the Rams HC joking that he researched the player, hoping he'd still be there at #104. I hit the Yard House by the Linq for dinner. Had a very good Bacon Cheese BBQ burger with a .. blonde ale? And, to make my night, I got flirted with by a brunette with a nice rack. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
