Cody, the Imperial Palace is about a 5 minute monorail ride from the convention center. It is at the same stop as Harrah's.
This is the link to the menuhttp://www.imperialpalace.com/group_meetings.php?subid=51es and pricing. There is a 25 person min.
The Hilton does have its advantages and David your right, even at $50 with the door prizes is very fair.
Thanks,
Tom

I have a call into you but here is the scoop. As per our discussion earlier today I delved deeper into the Captains Lounge. Given our needs I do not think we could have a quality event for less than $75.00 per person, unless we did the sit down dinner that you had suggested.
As we discussed the sit down dinner has several limitations for mingling and for folks that arrive late. So.....
After reading about Toms idea of the Imperial Plaza I called as well and it turns out to be a VERY good deal.
In speaking with Misty in the catering department, we would have a dinner cost of $34.5 per person based on the attached menu. ( The price on the attached menu says $33.00 but prices went up this year) We need a guarantee of 20 people ( not a problem ). This INCLUDES the room ( The Plaza Room) for 3 hours. Additional hours are $150.00 per.
The Plaza Room also satisfies the need for beverages. There is a lounge right outside the door to the room where folks can go for the beverage of their choice. ( or to buy me drinks) B-) So no worries there.
For sound a wirless mic cost $125.00 for the evening with a $40.00 set up fee. A hard wired mic and lecturn costs $40.00 for the evening
All of this of course incurs the 25% tax and gratuity fee. Based on the 52 people that are coming this brings the cost to $47.09 per person. ( I suggest rounding that up to $50.00 for ease)
The Imperial Palace is on the monorail line, although according to Misty a bit more than a 5 minute ride. Even so, it makes getting there easy. (I know last year Cody rented a car, so alternatively 52 of us could pile into Cody's car and ride for free :O )
With all of that said, I submit we go with Toms idea and go with the Imperial Palace. Room set up is included also and Misty said, and I quote

Chuck,
Do tell me, can you find good Lavosh in paradise? :-) Apparently it's not southern cusine, because I don't have a clue what it is. If it's in the cheese & bread catagory then maybe its a cracker? Good job on the sleuthing. I'm sure Joe & I can find our way on the monorail. They have cheesecake! :P (Insert dancing jig)

Lavosh
SUBMITTED BY: Sally
"Good with soup, as an appetizer or as a snack. Lavosh is an Armenian unleavened flat bread."
INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup water
1 egg white
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 egg whites, beaten
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a large bowl, stir together, flour, sugar and salt. Add water, 1 egg white and melted butter; mix well to make a stiff dough. Knead until dough is smooth, about 5 minutes.
Divide dough into 10 balls. Roll each ball on lightly floured surface until paper thin. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until browned.

Thank you for running down the logistics.
Thank you Tom for the suggestion.
According to what you've said and after seeing the menu (not to mention having perused several menus and talking to several venues) this looks very difficult to beat.
Therefore, let it be known, across the land, that by the powers vested in me, as Engraving Etc. host, The Imperial Palace, is decreed to be the official site of our second annual Beach Party. :B
Thanks again guys.

We'll pull you into duty if necessary.
Thankfully, there's no impeachment process here. :P
