As to location - part of the issue is: do you want a pre-set menu charging everyone the same or go off a regular menu and let each person "take care of their own."
I will caution that on the latter, there have been problems in the past. Most places, if you have a group of 8 or more, want everything on one ticket and then add on the gratuity.
When you have one large check, it seems there is always one or more individuals who forget or miscalculate their portion of the tax and tip or how many drinks they ordered etc. and the collection ends up a bit short. This is NOT to say anyone does this on purpose, stuff just happens.
I would recommend a set menu and let people buy their own drinks from the bar, since we have some non-drinkers and under age folks.
The Sante Fe comes to mind, ditto Great Basin or Silver Peak. Many of these places love to have parties on Tuesdays since that is a typically slow night.

Hi All, Our December meeting will be a party rather than the typical discussion. Due to this we have several decisions that need to be made: - When to have it - Where to have it - ... I guess that's really it Make some suggestions and we'll poll the most popular requests. I was thinking we could setup a wireless network for sharing files wherever we end up going. Any other nerdy ideas? - Sebastian _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
