The Las Vegas Hilton is thinking ahead with its holiday party plans. They still have December dates available with specialized menus (and themes) for companies looking to host a party for their employees. An example: They did an Irish Pub theme for a group with the World of Concrete, creating an Irish pub facade for the entry, pub-style tables and chairs, artwork on the walls, whiskey barrels, etc. The menu featured fish and chips, Irish smoked salmon, corned beef and cabbage. For ideas, contact John Cannizzaro at 702-732-5624.
