First time staying downtown in Vegas - advice

California (just a couple of blocks away) has some great cheap eats.

There's Pasta Pirate (yeah, the name sucks, but some of the specials they run are good). Redwood Bar and Grill is a nice room, and they have a great porterhouse special (not on the menu). Won't be the best steak you've ever had, but at $15 or so, including veggies and dessert, it's a price performer).

While you're at the Nugget, if you can pull yourselves away from the tables, I'd recommend Gordie Brown's show. Very reasonably priced ($45/ticket) and a fun evening. They seem to be extending him month by month, and it looks like he's there through December now.

Actually, we get free tickets to Gordie Brown with our package.

It seems to me that we are getting a pretty fantastic deal.

3 nights for about $150 - 2 tickets to Gordie Brown - and some other bonuses
