We might or might not drive in for Thanksgiving. We got a great room rate at the Plaza, but we're wondering if any of the restaurants will be serving a holiday meal, what with social distancing and all. And do you think it will be crowded?
A recent survey shows that only one out of four Americans will travel over Thanksgiving, so we're not surprised you got a good room rate for a traditionally high-cost weekend.
In the meantime, however, plenty of restaurants here will be serving a traditional turkey dinner on Thursday the 26th. The Plaza, for example, is offering a choice of a $49-per-person dinner (a la carte) or $65 for the three-course deal, with butternut soup, turkey, potato, stuffing, gravy, and vegetable (dessert extra).
Here's a list of casino eateries with the per-person prices (either fixed or average a la carte); figure on some combination of turkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet/regular potatoes, vegetable, cranberry sauce, and dessert. If you have a favorite locals restaurant, be sure to call and inquire; reservations might be tough with a lot of Las Vegans wanting to go out, but not to a casino.
