Thanks, it makes me feel better about choosing the Lafayette without knowing how it is. As for the meal, I've got a table @ Dickie Brennan's after the game. Gotta love the steaks.
I like the Royal Cenesta and the hotel at Harrahs is really cool... The Cenesta is right on bourbon and an ideal loacation if you plan on partying on bourbon after the game...
Stay @ La Pavillion, stayed there for the Sugar Bowl, you can walk to the Dome: http://www.lepavillon.com/index.htm?source=gad
