Ugh, I was hoping you could delete it VG... wishful thinking.

Why would you want this thread deleted?  It has good advice on how to not be rude to your guests.

Based on quotes from above from Valeriecruz82, and others on this board that seem to mimic her sentiment, " Lighten up ladies life doesn't always have to be about etiquette live a little haha"......good advice is wasted here.  Either that, or rudeness thrives.

I totally agree with Alicia!   

If the poster wanted etiquette advice she probably would have posted on the etiquette board, but she didn't, she posted on the Vegas board.  If you don't have any suggestions for Vegas restaurants maybe you shouldn't post.  

As for restaurant suggestions that might work...

- The Pub @ Monte Carlo, huge place and reasonable prices

- Gilly's @ TI, also pretty big, good food and fun atmosphere, you could line dance in your wedding dress!  

- Burger Bar (between Luxor & Mandalay Bay) I've seen large groups there even on Friday/Saturday nights.  Food is really good!

Have you considered a buffet at all?  Wicked Spoon is really good and so is the buffet at Mandalay Bay.  

Why would she even care if it was reasonable or not?  She's not paying!

I'm not going to tell you that you should properly host your guests, I'm hoping you already got the message. In-n-Out burger is fun if you don't have one in your area and everyone can eat for less than $10 each. Strip burger looks like a blast and would allow your guests to eat for about $15 or so plus any alcoholic drinks they order. I would assume with the exception of a fancier place your guests would be able to eat for less than $50 each. Booze would be the only factor which could change that number as drinks are rather expensive. We are also having about 12-13 people attend our wedding and have opted to host the reception in the suite. A crap load of food and the cake are costing us $1000 plus booze, which we are budgeting about the same amount for. We are getting some to go containers to send our guests back to their room with some food to snack on later. Hosting in suite can be as affordable as you want it to be should you change your mind about properly hosting your guests.

This thread is a perfect example of why TK getting rid of moderators was f'ing stupid.

I don't really see how moderators would be of any help here. 

Do you think a mod should close a pretty civil discussion just because A) The OP's ideas aren't really being validated She is being given unsolicited etiquette advice and C) many people commenting aren't from "your board"?

Because my understanding is that type of censorship and control is one of the reasons moderators were removed.

You really should grasp the concept of internet troll before you start the name calling.  Which, by the way, would be cause for closing a thread.  

No one came on this thread to start an argument. There is nothing about polite and proper hospitality that is controversial or inflammatory.  If you define "troll" as someone expressing what a proper host should provide for his guests, then color me ogre.  The majority of the women who cited proper etiquette on this thread are valued and long standing contributors to this site.  We stand by what we say and we say it with full disclosure.  Trolls are most often new posters who create or add to threads in an attempt to incite regular posters, more often than not under pseudonyms.

But thanks for playing.

But the OP didn't post nothing about proper hosting therefor you and your little friends over on the etiquette board went off the original topic that was posted. Listen to yourself lol we stand by what we say? You sound like a cult leader you all spend way too much time behind a computer lol

Reading comprehension would be helpful.  The OP, in the original topic, said that she was....

1.  eloping

2.  not having a formal reception, and

3.  said all guests will be paying individually for their meals.

By including all those points in her original topic (see the theme here yet?), any poster can comment on any or all of those points.  Why??  Because the OP brought them into play.

You cannot elope if you are inviting guests.  You cannot have guests if you are not hosting them.  If you invite guests, you MUST host something.  You cannot have a reception if you elope because there is no one to invite to a reception.  If you invite people, and you make them pay their own way, you are not having a reception.

To point these things out does not make someone a troll.  It makes them someone who knows how to properly host an event.  So, to say the OP didn't post nothing   anything about proper hosting is not correct.

No, I think that because people like you, and others, came over to the Vegas board to troll and stir up drama when you have no interest in Las Vegas weddings to begin with.  That simply never happened on this board in the past.  Most of the people here don't like it and don't want to see it, hence, the thread would have been closed after a few valid points about hosting being the right thing to do were made.  It just devolved into a bitchfest and mud slinging contest after that.

Well said VG. While I agree with the theme of advice given, it seems like an attack when people on the E board are posting about posting here and wondering if it's OK. That thread was pretty mean. OP got advice on the E board already. She would have gotten similar (perhaps softer!) advice from some of the Vegas peeps if this hadn't blown up.

Can't we all just get along

1st I'm not trolling. I have been on these boards for a while, and giving an opinion an OP doesn't like isn't trolling. I'm not going to ignore things I think are rude in posts across these boards, because sometimes when you speak up brides actually realize they are in the wrong and change their minds.

2nd I lurk here frequently because I actually am interested in Las Vegas. I actually wanted to elope in Vegas but my FI did not.

The rest about the thread devolving into drama and mudslinging is a matter of opinion. . .there's nothing awful going on and I don't think anyone is calling names etc.
