    No catering?

    Ok so, I hate to complain... and I next to never do I swear. But am I the only one who thinks it's kinda lame that they won't be providing a lunch of sorts to attendees on Sat/Sunday? My hubby and I went to the XI fan fest in '07 and it cost half of what this event did and they provided these really nice box lunches for everyone there on both days. When I read that in the FAQ about drinks being sold at the reception, but having to leave to go eat the rest of the time I was kinda bummed. Oh well. Nothing I can do about it obviously, just kinda wanted to whine. >.>

    It's probably due to the fact that the Rio would not allow outside caterers in, and would probably charge a large fee to do the catering themselves.

    As for going out to find food, honestly, you can barely set foot outside the convention area of the Rio without stumbling over half a dozen restaurants. The Rio alone has 13 different restaurants, plus a couple of Starbucks. The nearby Gold Coast and Palms resorts have 8-9 restaurants each. Of course, a good number of these are going to be relatively upscale, but the lower end places are still going to be great.
