Kenji's Golf Safari spent four days at the Eureka Casino Hotel. The service was wonderful, rooms very decent, free apples/hot chocolate for breakfast, and a comfortable outdoor discussion area where we spent many hours over wine, gin, tequila, margherita, kakimochi, potato chips, peanuts and more, solving the problems of the world. Should anyone reading this posting wish to consider Mesquite, someone named Joselyn James asked me to please insert the following link:

which provides some options on where to stay and golf in this growing town of 15,000 located 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
We began the tour at Trader Joe's in Las Vegas to purchase much of the above. We learned that the Walmart in Mesquite had the same things, but cheaper. Can you believe, for example, that a one gallon bottle of 100% Arrowhead mountain spring water costs exactly a buck:
Day One at the Oasis Palmer Course featured margheritas. Here is our foursome:
We then went to lunch at Sushi Masa, our favorite restaurant in Mesquite (we dined here three times). Here is the gang:
We were well served by Chieko and Myra:
Chieko said she once worked at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas to someone (forgot the name) who ended up in Honolulu to open Sushi King, located close the University of Hawaii. We had lunch the following day at a Mexican restaurant to celebrate Cinco de Mayo For dinner, we went to Gregory's, a steakhouse. I could eat only about a third of my 18 ounce rib eye, so asked for a bag, chilled it in ice for 24 hours, and had my dinner tonight watching television in my room:
As this is Cinco de Mayo, a Corona beer, Mexican-type soup, green salad and super jalapeno chips accompanied my rib eye sandwich. The key to all this was the hair dryer, which, if you're patient, can bring a cold medium rare steak to a sizzle on the outside. One of the best meals I've had on this trip. The group went for pot roast at the casino.
My sunrise view this mornina:
We also golfed at the Oasis Canyon and Falcon Ridge Golf Courses, with the former a day of gin martinis, and the latter, margheritas, again. Today was the Conestoga GC and wine. It had a silver tee slope rating of 139, meaning it was very, very difficult. We then drove back to the California Hotel for three more days of golf. My grand journey continues on to Denver for the World Renewable Energy Forum.
The Eureka Casino Hotel is owned and managed by the Lee family, originally from Hawaii (I think). I can imagine they could become the Sam Boyd of Mesquite, bringing hordes of golfers from Hawaii to enjoy the wonders of Mesquite.
Bet you can't guess what this is:
