I just got back from LAS but it wasn't your normal casino run. I was out there for my son's high school graduation. We took him to eat at his favorite restaurant, Claim Jumper. It has a rustic "mining" atmosphere. The building has huge timbers. The chairs are constructed from tree limbs. There are antler chandeliers etc. There is a large variety on the menu and the food is excellent. I had country fried steak and mashed potatoes. Whew, those mashed potatoes and gravy were to die for. But their signature is the huge portions on huge plates. Entrees are from the $10-$20 range but they don't mind if you share. One order is usually more than enough for 2 people. The desserts are just as huge. You can check out their web at <a href="http://www.claimjumper.com/" target="_blank">http://www.claimjumper.com/</A> . They have locations in several western states. It is not real close to the strip in LAS so it might be a good excursion if you happen to be renting a car there.
