I’m not sure if Copper Whisk takes reservations. Last time the casual restaurants wouldn’t let us reserve a table for dinner when we had a small window between events. We had to book it through the casino to beat the rush.

I was just told by a friend that their favorite restaurant in LV is "Lotus Of Siam". It's off the strip. She's Chinese and her cooking is delicious so I would trust her on this recommendation. She says it is the primary reason she goes to LV!!! lol. Now I'm mad I cancelled my reservations for SkAm. I want to try out that restaurant!

You might want to check out Mikey Chen's Youtube Channel Strictly Dumpling for dining suggestions. While there is a partial Las Vegas Playlist, I believe that there are many other videos of not just Asian cuisine but others as well. Mikey, across his five channels has a combined following of probably about 8 million subscribers. He also provides links to the restaurants, etc. within each video. Here are a few of those. I would scan the right hand side which may provide additional links. He also reviews the most expensive options which provides insights into what it's like to experience those options. Please ignore the Polish buffet video; I included it by mistake.

I need to save that list!!!

I was planning to stop by and talk to them after checking in later today.

So I forgot to ask what time. Let's say 9:30 am so that (a) we have time to get seated if they don't take reservations and (b) no rush to the event. If that's too early, please say so and I'll change it.

Also, we're in Section 105, Row E, Seats 1 & 2. If people post (or DM me) their Seats, I can make a list and pass it around. So we can visit each other during breaks.

So I’m thinking USA could walk away with five medals from skate America? Maybe could’ve been six had Bradie been there.

Two in men, two in dance, and one in Pairs…

Who knows, if Amber decides to skate like an empowered woman and not a scared wannabe maybe she could get on the podium? She has the game/skills.

Checked in to the Orleans yesterday. This hotel is older than I remember! One of the lamps in my room doesn’t have a switch, and has to be plugged in and out to turn it on and off. Oh… and my towels are shedding…

A lot of Skate American badgeholders walking around. Excited that it’s all starting!

Will live vicariously through you and others attending. Yes, it's an old hotel and uninspiring.

On another GP set of observations, some friends of mine attended Cup of Russia about 10 years ago. When they called down to the front desk for toilet paper, they got screamed at. When they went down to the bar for a drink, the hotel had sold out its liquor supply to a wedding!

Oh my gosh, it’s going to be the b*tch slap heard around FSU

Your hand is going to be so sore once you get through everyone.

I’m going to have to go in for back up and call in Raiders fans

I wish USFS would reinstate fantasy skating after two years of absence.

Why did they stop doing that? Who goes to USFS website anymore nowadays



USFS used to have forums, fantasy skating. And they outsourced the forums to ice network and that never went anywhere.

Just go to the liquor store now and buy a case of Grey Goose, another case of Kahlua, and whatever else you need to get you through this weekend without b*tch slapping FSU into oblivion, lol.

What makes you think I didn’t accomplish that yesterday?

But will that get you through the weekend?

Didn't Ice Network buy out FigureSkatingWorld and froze out all the thousands of members unless they paid $30 per month? I know alot of people bought into that, but fortunately @SHARPIE was kind/smart enough to start up FigureSkatingUniverse. Haha, IceNetwork! Whatever happened to you? lol. And always enormous gratitude to Sharpie.

Or Peter Oppegard... wasn't he the one accused of physically abusing an underage skater, and even BITING her? Pretty sure it was him, if not, sorry Peter!

Some platform needs to reinstate fantasy figure skating. I had so much fun doing that. I mean don’t get me wrong I was a disaster at it but I really enjoyed it over all those years

I was always so good at picking out a skater or a team that would WD last minute and then I get zero points.

Skatingscores.com does it sometimes. They did it for the Challengers this season but as of now haven't set anything up for the GP. (ETA: I never play so I have no idea what it is, but they have a menu item called Fantasy so I guess it's what you're looking for.)

Just be patient and try again later (it's an IT issue that is being worked on): https://twitter.com/AnythingGOE/status/1450897557912178712

Hopefully the FSU Predictions contests (held in the Kiss & Cry forum) & website will make a return someday.

Cab fare from the airport to the Orleans is a flat fare of $23.00. If you use a credit card there is a $3.00 surcharge. The cab line moves very fast.

What do you think, guys - any reason I should bring my vaccine card with?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

What do you think, guys - any reason I should bring my vaccine card with?

I would just bring a photo of it

Not sure what Nevada or Las Vegas local mandates are but here in Los Angeles even at the new SoFi Stadium people who went to the Rolling Stones concert this past weekend and even though it was an outdoor event they were extremely strict checking everyone’s vaccinations to get inside the outdoor stadium
