Restaurants in Summerlin area

Long time reader first time posting. I will be staying at the J. W. Marriott over Presidents Day weekend with a youth sports team and am looking for some restaurant recommendations from members. We will be a group of about 18 17 year old boys and 7 adults. Pasta and chicken are the prefered dishes of the coach. Buca di Beppo, gets old after a while, so I am looking for some local restaurants.

Spiedini, the Italian restaurant at the J.W., is very good. But it is expensive. Perhaps you can talk with the host at the hotel who set up your block of rooms and work out a meal arrangement as well.

Oh yeah, the Rampart Buffet is also better-than-average, and should satisfy everyone in your party.

That is about two miles from where I live. Your best odds are at Boca Park, which is just south on Rampart Blvd. My two favorites there are Grimaldi's and the Kona Grill. If you have a huge appetite, go south a little further south to the Claim Jumper. There are some decent places at the Red Rock, my favorite of which is the Yard House.

For such a nice place, the eating options at the Rampart/Marriott are pretty weak. Somebody mentioned the Italian restaurant, which I can't speak to.

Via Brazil happy hour should serve minors on the patio.
Gordon Biersch Boca Park just down from Kona Grill.
PF Chang's across the street from Claim Jumper.

Thank you, Wiz and Paco, these restaurants should work well for the team and parents. I am a big fan of Diners, Drive-inns and Dives. Is it worth going to Four Kegs? It is only a couple of miles from our hotel and even closer to the fields.

Can't say I've ever been to Four Kegs. It looks pretty ordinary to me.

I saw Four Kegs on DD&D too. The pizza is pretty damn good, but it's certainly a dive.

I wouldn't call Jones @ 95 Summerlin though.

I've never tried Kona Grill. But the patio is always packed when the weather's nice in the evenings. Always wondered what the draw is.
