Asking an employee, we were told: 'in the cafe.' Except we found that there WAS NO CAFE, so we went to the restaurant instead. There actually WAS a poster in the lobby for prime rib, but no mention where to actually find it. Well, we took her at her word and went to the Virgin River Casino for dinner. They don't know beans… we'll at least get them to stop and wander around a bit, and we'll all have a good laugh!' 'Come on guys,' I'm sure he said, 'It'll be fun. Henry David ThoreauOnce he had run out of neighbors the next logical course of action was obviously the thousands of suckers transiting the highway every day. All indications were that some Mesquite resident in the past had fallen for some scam and had 'passed it on' to his neighbors. Over the years I have made inquiry's to no avail, so figured that the whole thing was pretty much like the proverbial Boy Scout 'Snipe Hunt' which we were suckered into as kids. Well they also have a Prime Rib dinner, except for twice the price that we saw advertised. I wrote about the buffet we found at the Eureka Casino last year. You see, for years we've all seen the huge billboards all the way from SLC to Mesquite announcing 'Prime Rib Dinner - only $4.99.' But, when you actually get to Mesquite the 'bread-crumb trail' type advertising pretty much stops. 'You're kidding,' I said 'That's really real?' However Charley's wife told me that the prime-rib over at the Virgin River Casino was a real good deal and we had never tried it. This year, whether it's the economy or what, Mesquite has been a 'colder' place than we've experienced before.

Every once in awhile I need to keep reminding everyone that this blog actually started out as a blog about snowbirding between Mesquite and Salt Lake City.
