Hey Patricia, wish I could remember it. 1965 I was a senior in High School! Almost 60 years ago, probably gone by my first Vegas initiation. I remember a very nice Italian eatery inside of Harrah's, circa 1992 or so. I liked their food a lot, especially one of their entrees, though hardcore Italian food readers panned it as not Ital-authentic enough. So be it. Oh, yeah, they let me know I didn't belong in an LVA-food discussion. LOL.
Apologies for interrupting the mud fight about pizza and beer prices. Na na na na na.
It was a nice thread, your topic.

Yeah, sorry Patricia and Candy, Tom wasn't legitimately arguing or making any kind of point; he was just stalking me, as is his obsessive habit. I shouldn't dignify his crap with a response.
I think the "Steer" or "The Golden Steer" might have been the name of that restaurant...?
Oh, and as far as "authentic" Italian food is concerned...like every other ethnic cuisine, the American version of Italian food is quite a bit different from "native" Italian food. For one thing, Italy's Italian food is MUCH more seafood-centric. And of course, Italian pizza and American pizza barely resemble each other. I went to Europe with my family three times in the 1970s and 80s and was amazed at how different the original versions of European cuisines were from the American versions.
