Re: [MBZ] Hendrik and Co coming to the US of A in June A BIG THANK YOU
Depends on the state - in Wisconsin kids are allowed in bars. In Indiana, they are not. In fact, they're so anal about it in Indiana that if there is a bar in a restaurant there has to be a wall dividing the bar from the dining room. And you can't buy alcohol in Indiana on Sundays, either. Stupid.

Re: [MBZ] Hendrik and Co coming to the US of A in June A BIG THANK YOU
Caveat: All that follows can differ from state to state and even county to county. Kids in bars - depends on the bar (and county, state). There are many family-friendly establishments that serve alcohol as well as food. Generally a bar that only serves alcohol will frown upon non-paying underage customers (big fines and potential loss of license if the kid gets a drop, no matter if provided by Mom or Pop). So, if you'd like a beer or bottle of wine, that's a different liquor license (usually), easier to find at restaurants. If you need a Scotch, fewer choices but still many restaurants that have a bar 'attached' and can bring that scotch to your table for a meal with the family. Sorry I cannot help with recommending any good brands of Scotch, I'd venture to guess that anything you can find in Australia can be found here - maybe if you real off a few choices some one can chime in and let us know. Beer - already a hot thread topic - almost as bad as an Oil Thread - I generally stick with local micro-brews where ever I go, usually more pricey but always more interesting!

Again, that varies from state to state... in Oregon tavern and pub are not legal terms, I don't think; a bar serves primarily alcohol, but is required to also serve food (although many skirt that requirement by having no kitchen, instead offering a diverse selection of microwaveable burritos and soggy prepackaged sandwiches); a restaurant serves primarily food, but can also offer a full bar menu. Many restaurants have a license to serve beer and wine only, not hard liquor.

Most restaurants with a wine license will generally allow you to bring your own bottle, but charge a $10-15 corking fee. Even then, if you do the math, it's cheaper to bring your own and know what you're getting rather than rely on the distributor the restaurant works with. Not a good idea to do that with low end wine, though. If the wait staff knows wine at all, they'd probably see through it and treat you like a cheapskate because of it. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

How long are you planning to spend in Vegas again, H F? There's a lot to do there that's interesting and educational for kids other than the casinos (where children, by law, aren't allowed anywhere near the gaming tables and machines---but I suppose since gambling is legal in Oz you won't be much interested anyway in showing the young-uns how quickly mum and dad can lose all their funny American money). There is a great natural history museum just outside of town with lots of dinosaur bones. The Hoover Dam is an easy day trip and not only educational but just an impressive sight to behold---I think it's the largest single piece of poured concrete in the world. There is an excellent car museum hidden inside the Imperial Palace casino. Just walking on the Strip can be a lot of fun---you can marvel at the bizarre architecture of the casinos, people-watch, and go inside for a drink when it gets too hot.

Re: [MBZ] Hendrik and Co coming to the US of A in June A BIG THANK YOU
I stayed in the Hard Rock in '07, its a really good hotel, very nice rooms. The casino is INSANE at night... Maybe not the best choice when traveling with kids. Its also about 1/2 mile (1 block(!)) off the strip so you'll either be spending a lot of money in cabs or hoofing it a lot. One night in the casino my roommate was approached by a woman wearing nothing but a fishnet dress and shamrock stickers over her naughty bits. Wanted to go up to our room and party. He said she was probably in her middle 50s... Somebody was telling me the other day they saw a screaming deal at Bally's, I think it was ~$60/night.

Re: [MBZ] Hendrik and Co coming to the US of A in June A BIG THANK YOU
Your story just gave me a good laugh. Hendrik I aren't the gambling types we figured the laws would be the same as here - no kids in casinos. You have to be 18 over here to go into casinos/pubs. Our son Zak is the one who wants to go to Vegas - he's only 9 In his words 'I wanna see how they built a million dollar city in the middle of the desert'. One of friends went to Vegas a few years ago he just loved it, he had the best time. Will definitely look at staying at the Hard Rock - I'll go on the website. Hendrik would like to know if you can take kids into bars in the US, the best beer for drinking for me it's good brands of scotch.
