Thanksgiving Dinner In Las Vegas 2010

Thanksgiving 2010 in Las Vegas will be one of the busiest on record.

Many visitors, especially on the West Coast, are already taking advantage of holiday specials offered by hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. Bing Travel predicts travel fares to remain flat compared to 2009, helping people find an incentive to take advantage of the four-day weekend in November. And retailers all over Las Vegas are setting deeply discounted holiday prices.

To help travelers and locals, The Stirling Club Courtier is pleased to present its annual top five Las Vegas Thanksgiving 2010 dinner list. Specific to The Stirling Club, non-members are invited to inquire about membership or request a guest pass for Thanksgiving (as space is available).
