I went to bed at midnight vegas time and was awake four hours later. I gave up at 8am and got up.
Jen I doubt I spend much time in the casinos. The cigarette smoke is killing me.

The cigarette smoke is killing me. oh yeah that's right. I take for granted that they made AC mostly smoke-free (one of the best things that they decided to do IMO). I'd love to gamble in Vegas, but smoke really bothers me. |

I'm good on the nap so far. Going to the gym later will wake me up if I'm sleepy mid afternoon.
Jen I honestly never even thought about it until I smelled smoke on our floor and saw an ashtray outside the elevator.

Ya know...the last time I ate at Olive Garden, the Fettuccini alfredo was disgusting. I make it way better. I get really aggrivated when I spend $$ on pasta that tastes like crap. Now, I just usually make it at home. Way better. Blech, Olive Garden. My grandmom got BF and I an OG gift card for Christmas, so we have to go at some point.  If I'm going to get pasta when I'm out for dinner then I'm going to an actual Italian restaurant. Thank god I live where I do! Meghn have you ever considered selling it? I have never sold a card but I have bought some on a site called giftcards.com I also use Gift Card Granny to find out the best deal for me. Ebay normally gets the most money for the card. Anyone wonder why I won't buy one off Ebay?  I understand why people wouldn't want to sell the card since it is a gift but I thought I would put this out there, since it might work for someone. |

Nah, we didn't get BF's sister and BIL anything for Christmas, so we're using it to take them out to dinner. I looked on the menu and they don't even have any good wine or beer! Wah!   I'll survive.  |

I agree with the comments about Olive Garden. And that only their bread sticks and salad are good. There are just too many choices of restaurants to eat at instead of dealing with their canned sauce and too salty crap. |

You know, I used to talk crap about the Olive Garden (and most chain restaurants) all the time, but I have to be honest....there is one around the corner from my office and I go there for lunch a couple times a year....and I usually like it! I don't expect it to be gourmet or anything, but my food is usually good. I actually used to work in an Olive garden in college. I didn't eat there then or for years after, except the desserts we would "accidentally" dent on the way out of the fridge and "have to" eat since we couldn't possibly serve them that way.
Carraba's on the other hand - I have been sick after every time I ate there, I think.

Aaaaaaah, Vegas! I used to love that you could smoke anywhere there, back when I used to smoke. Now, not so much.

BIS!  My biggest issue with OG is that the wait is too long! Unless it's a weekday, expect to wait at least 45 mins unless you go at like 3pm or something. |

Hmm, there is a Zoup! in the same shopping center as the Olive Garden... Has anyone been to a Zoup! before? There is a chain I can get behind! It's just soup. Lots and lots of yummy soup. ;D I haven't been to an OG since high school, but I see they still have the portabella ravioli I used to like. Hopefully it is still good to me! |

Hey MJ!! Yeah, I wouldn't get near any of those chains on a Friday or Saturday because they have ridiculous waits. Like I said, I go to this one a couple times a year for lunch, and that's enough. I only wait at places that have a good bar I can spend some quality time in while I wait!

I just want to say that this thread totally backfired for me. Instead of the delicious Lean Cuisine I had planned for lunch, I had to go to Subway and get a sandwich and cookies. And I'm still hungry. |

Ok this will sound weird bc Olive Garden's canned carp and all that. I used to work at Longhorn a long time ago when it first opened in my college town. Anyway Olive Garden opened right across the street a little bit before we did and my manager was talking to their manager. Apparently they always have a wait bc the kitchen can't keep up. Which I realize sounds ridiculous since its not exactly made from scratch.
I don't mind their salad and breadsticks and some of the appetizers are good. That's what I had last time I went there.
