isired Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 When they played Monday night there a few years ago, we stayed at the Westin (Gaslamp), had friends in the W, both were good locations. Can't go wrong in the Gaslamp, good restaurants and variety of nightlife. Crazy concentration of steakhouses there, more than a dozen - from the big national chains to local one-offs. We ate Fleming's one night, and Lou & Mickey's (i think? more of an old-school dinner-n-drinks scene)... both were very good. Had lunch one afternoon at George's in La Jolla, beautiful view from atop a cliff over the water. Worth the short drive, I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! gaslamp district is pretty lively. food wise, especially if your visiting from out of town, i would recommend getting some carne asada fries. their real good and one of the popular things food wise in san diego. drink wise, i would recommend the belching beaver brewery, especially their peanut butter stout. anything specific you were looking to do, or try food wise. asking, so i can get an idea of spots to recommend.

Larz Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I have a friend out there. it's supposed to be hot and dry weather. as in 4 % humidity dry. he says chargers are very banged up and expects the jets to win. I'll try to hook you up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 here is his FB post fwiw Have a good time at the game Sunday. At Qualcomm, don't be in the lot any later than 11am. Or you get turned away. Jets are gonna win. Bolts are too injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Depends where he is staying. If he's close to Mission Valley/downtown, just head to the gas lamp district downtown. Pretty hoppin. Tell him to make sure to be in the lot early too. They close the gates by 11:30 and then it is big suck time for everybody locked out. Most locals are in the lot by 9am for tailgating...it's a good tailgate too tell him. Oh and new NFL rules..no bags or backpacks allowed. Not even purses for girls. 2 unopened bottles of water. Going to be hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be hot. Thanks again! We are wayyyyyy out of the way. But Harrah's is like a resort. We were going to go into San Diego today but honestly, it is so nice here we just hung out here. They have an amazing pool. So I sat poolside and just relaxed. There is a lot I want to see in San Diego but being this far away with no car makes it tough. My Dad gets these trips from Harrah's . They pick him up at the airport and rive him back when he is done. They don't want him leaving the casino otherwise, lol. Which works for me when the casino is as nice as this one is.

How was your tailgate? The shuttle bus left the hotel a lot later than we thought it would. We left the hotel around 11am, got there a few minutes after noon and went right in to the stadium. The game itself -- yeah 800 other threads for that. But besides the game it was a col experience. I didn't realize how old that stadium is. Definitely a step back in time but the fans were great. Didn't see any issues, everyone was very nice. And there was a TON of Jets fans there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually changed the plans when we got here, we are in the middle of nowhere but Harrah's has a pretty nice resort here. So really just been enjoying everything here, I was kind of shocked by how nice it was. Huge room, awesome pool, free meals and movies on my Dad's comps lol.

spacemanspiffnf Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The tailgate part of the day was great. Got there at 9 am, parked in D5 with a ton of Jets fans. People were having a great time and I got a lot of compliments on the washer toss game. Game was miserable, but luckily Chargers fans are typically pretty chill, just the usual sh*t talking. The only good thing about getting blown out was that over half of the fans left early, so getting out of the nightmare of a parking lot was a breeze. The heat was brutal though, sweating balls while watching your team get dismantled is no fun. How was your tailgate? The shuttle bus left the hotel a lot later than we thought it would. We left the hotel around 11am, got there a few minutes after noon and went right in to the stadium. The game itself -- yeah 800 other threads for that. But besides the game it was a col experience.
