| - Attended a Private Event at the Angel Park Golf Club, which the Club House serves a dual purpose as both a Restaurant and an Special Event Center.
Private Event menu...
Angel Park House Salad - Radicchio, Iceberg Lettuce, Romaine Lettuce, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Croutons, Feta / Vinaigrette. (***) There have only been a few occasions where I have lauded a House Salad. I've gone back and recollected why a basic House Salad is better than some others... it's the addition of slivers of Raw Onions, Garbanzo Beans and / or Kidney Beans, and most importantly a profundity of Dressing!
Entree - Duo of Pan Seared Beef Tenderloin Medallion and Classic Chicken Breast - Merlot Butter, Cherry Balsamic Reduction, Creamy Lemon Herb Sauce, Roasted Red Potatoes, and Fresh Asparagus. (**** 1/2) Everyone was raving about the Tenderloin Medallion... "how tender", "moist", "you can cut it with a butter knife"... on, and on, and on. But there was also "two bites...", "three bites", "so small", "more Medium than Medium Rare". Luckily, for me, the person seated next to me thought that her Beef was too rare... Hey, I'll take a donation of Beef anytime! The Beef I had was cooked towards Medium, the donated Beef was Medium Rare... Again, it's pretty hard to control the Entree for 300 people. The Chicken fillet was also very, very tender.
Warm Rolls & Butter (** 1/2) Cold... but serving close to 300 people, that was expected.
Dessert - Red Velvet, Amaretto Mousse Cake (*** 1/2) Dry. Again, the result of having it served last and probably sitting for hours. The moistness was totally gone by the time the Cake was served. Nice color contrast, though, of the Dark Red Cake versus the Cream colored frosting...
Positives -
Architecturally oriented so that the Cocktail / Patio area is facing the Sunset from the West... very romantic.
On a Golf Course - A Golf Course is one of the few Green areas in this city.
Pass-through Bar Window to the Patio / Cocktail area.
Looked like there could be three or four simultaneous Events going on at the same time with Wall partitions that could be moved or arranged.
Small Portable 20' x 20' Parquet Wood Dance Floor. Large enough for a couple, three dozen couples. And small enough to get "lost" in on the floor...
Window Walls where it matters most... facing the West and North... nice views of the very Green Golf Course and the Setting Sun.
Well-stocked Bar. You know Golfers... After the Practice Putting Green, the Practice Driving Range, Ninth Hole, after a Round... you've gotta have a round of Drinks!
Proficiency with Events - talked with some of the Event Staff... starting with the Spring, there are Special Events held weekly through the Summer. Quite busy.
Negatives, not many -
Maximum number of Diners - around 300.
Lack of synchronization between TVs - The organizers of the Event wanted a Slide Show that could be controlled via a computer or DVD player to all the Flat Screen TVs around the Club House. - Not Possible. I was very surprised that this was not possible with the technology available nowadays. Probably too much trouble for this one event...
You're not going to get too many views of the night-time lights of Las Vegas. The Club House is oriented more towards the Golf Course / Mountains than the City.
Weather of Las Vegas - The Wind from the West coming down from the mountains in this area can reach 40-50mph... not kidding! Luckily for this event, the wind did not pick up till well after Sunset. You have to take your chances with an event here...
