Recently, I attended a wonderful dinner organised by a capstone class of graduating students in the William F. Harrah Hotel College at UNLV. Their professor has excellent relations with wineries and beverage companies from around the globe and offers wine tastings throughout the year, this semester he started something new-a series of four course dinners with beverage pairings.
University campuses are great venues to experience a city, they offer a wide range of activities often for free or for a minimal expense, including- performing arts, museums, food events, historical exhibits, and cultural experiences.
The dinner events sold out quickly!!! The theme for the April 23rd dinner was The Golden Belly Beer and for only $15 (super bargain!!!) patrons enjoyed a delightful four course meal and beer pairing.
These gatherings teach the students how to run a budgets, room design, menus, management, back and front of the house operations, vendor relations, and so much more!!! Truly a learning laboratory!
