Where to dine out for Thanksgiving in Las Vegas
November 4, 2024 - 7:00 am
It’s the annual turkey tussle, so to speak. If you cook at home, dirty dishes ensue, but so do leftovers. If you eat out, there are no leftovers, but also no shopping, cooking, cleanup or potential turkey triage or tragedy. Drunken relatives? They’re a possibility either way.
