Restaurant recommendations for team meals at Vegas Cup

For those that have participated in past years, any good recommendations on restaurants or food courts for a team meal near the strip?
 
Not really a restaurant, but for years we stayed in hotels with a grill. Then we would make a Costco run. One dad would always cook the Tri tip and the rest of the families pitched in with sides.
Some of the best team meals we have had.
 
We've also been fortunate enough to have a couple girls who live in Vegas on our roster, so the last few years, they have hosted the team dinners. Those were just as good if not better, but not everybody has Vegas girls on their rosters ;)
 
As the years have gone by and they have become more serious about the game, DD's team decided they wanted most of their meals in the hotel with only one team meal at a restaurant on the last night. Find a restaurant that does catering and then order a few trays of food, buy some disposable utensils and serve it up in a common room. After the girls eat their fill, let the chaperones eat the leftovers. We have also given leftovers to the hotel staff in the past. We make the team clean up the common area after the meal. If you let them know that they will be cleaning up before hand, they will make less of a mess. We never stay on the strip in Vegas as we want the girls to be fresh, rested and not exposed to cigarette smoke.

When we do take the team to a restaurant, we have the girls and parents order by the DD's jersey number for separate checks if there are a lot of parents. If there are only a few chaperones, then the players order on the team account and the chaperones pay separate.

In the past, when I was the travel coordinator for my DD's team, we did the same as Outside's team did. We stayed a few blocks away from the strip (but close enough for the parents to go to the strip) and we ordered food in. The girls and families can hang out at the hotel's common area and not feel rushed. Plus it is not as expensive. We, parents, already spent enough as it is for the travel and hotel.

Then the last night some of the parents would take the team to the strip to walk around and explore the shops.

Especially not the type of Vegas girls that your daughter's team has had. Not often that you get YNT players that just show up. Or maybe you do if you are that team....
