My mom looked pretty good at 40, but not my smokin' gran. I remember when I was a teen my gramma showing me how to avoid having the host poor me too much booze at a party (a problem I have NEVER had). It was different times for sure.

But one drink to someone of say, poster Kira's height and weight, and to my height and weight, would effect us differently.

Great retro decor; semi-fancy but comfortable; welcoming, familiar, club-like service from the staff; a house piano player playing the standards and joking with the staff and regulars. Never mind that "Wedge of Iceberg with Thousand Island Dressing" is $9 or whatever. To me, it was totally worth it to be believably transported back to "Old" Vegas. <a href="http://www.hardrockhotel.com/party_eat_ajs.php" target="_blank">http://www.hardrockhotel.com/p arty_eat_ajs.php</a> My absolute best experience doesn't exist anymore. It was a true dinner show in a "supper club" at the Rio in Vegas. There was seating on tiered levels around a dance floor, dancing during pre-dinner cocktails, crooners during appetizers, big production numbers, great dinner, wonderful lighting and special effects... Ahhhhhhh...
