Spring Mountain Accommodations and Meals
I am seriously thinking of taking advantage of the Ron Fellows driving deal at Spring Mountain. My wife will come with me, but will spend the days at the resort. My question, to those of you who have attended, are there things to do for my wife all day, and how is the food there? I would rather not have to drive to Vegas for our evening meals. Thanks in advance for any input.

The restaurant at the local Winery is VERY good. There is also a passable Thai restaurant off the main drag. Other than that I didn't find much for restaurants for dinner, At the same time, I was too tired by the end of the day to want to drive to Las Vegas.
Meals (breakfast and lunch) were certainly filling even if the selections on the buffets were not numerous. You will find something to eat and I actually thought everything was prepared pretty well at Spring Mountain.
Go and enjoy and don't forget, she can do ride alongs while you are driving ands cab trend the lectures - she just can't drive.

It is two days, including breakfast and lunch from about 8 am to 5 pm - how much does she really need to occupy essentially four 3 hour blocks of time?
The resort is nice for what it is and Parhump is a pretty small town about 3 miles away that has enough to eat for 3 nights - Symphony's (winery), Ohjah (Japanese), Mountain Grill Room (at Golf Course), El Jefe (Mexican are all very good - not NYC high end good, but typical resort good.

It was free but it cost too much? I suspect most here would feel you made an error by not going.

My wife took the class with me, we both did the 3 days. The wive's of others there could attend and ride with the instructors during track sessions.
Food there is OK, breakfast is decent but the rest was pretty fair.
The restaurant at the casino was good, better than the winery when we went but their hours are strange, call ahead.
So unless you want to take the hour drive back to Vegas nothing much at all to do. There is a gun range but I believe you need to bring your own, not sure if they rent.
