Absolutely nothing I find interesting to do there. In fact, I yelp a restaurant with good review for dinner, and I got there before 8pm and it was closed, for no reason.

What I did was fly in the night before class start, so i stayed 2 nights, and then my wife flew in on the 2nd day in the afternoon. Then i drove back to Vegas and stayed with her for another few days.

Thanks in advance for any input.
I went in April for level 2, same situation with my wife, she went and was planning on spending time by the pool with a book. I had her come to the morning meeting to find out when and where to meet for lunch. She immediately enjoyed to instructors, Rick made her feel very welcome. She had no plans of riding along but went out with Richie for the first session and had a blast, she stayed for three other rides. The winery was perfect for dinner. We used the balcony of the condo to enjoy a bottle of wine. We went to Vegas for two days after the class. Can't say enough how great the class was.

That's basically what we did last October. For the two dinners we had there, the Japanese restaurant was good, and the winery was very good.

Yes, but we plan on staying the night before, and the night after.

We went to Vegas afterwards and spent a few days.
Big mistake to miss it. We traveled from Tennessee
Will do it again in a flash
