- Your House: everyone likes the aroma of Thanksgiving dinner in their home, and certainly having leftovers is another good reason to celebrate at home. However, the preparation and cooking is so time-consuming . . . So, we have a mitigation plan that can't be beat! Our Thanksgiving Dinner to Go for up to 10 People is only $84 and we do all the messy time-consuming part! Find out more by clicking here and please get your order in soon as we do have a cut-off!
- Our House: both Katie's and CV Steak have traditional Thanksgiving Dinner Specials. And here's the best part, our specials are reasonably priced and we still serve the regular menu in both restaurants. So, no need to get gouged while you are gorging yourself when you go out for Thanksgiving Dinner - at least not here at the Carson Valley Inn. In order to pull all this off, we do make three minor adjustments on Thanksgiving day: in CV Steak, we open at 1:30 PM instead of 4:30 PM and the Sunset Special is not available on Thanksgiving Day. In Katie's, the usual Thursday night $6.99 Roast Turkey special is not available. And here's an important tip: if you plan to dine in CV Steak on Thanksgiving Day, please make a reservation now at 775-783-6650.
Speaking of holidays, here are a
few more thoughts: Holiday Parties are big at the Carson Valley Inn.
Between our convention center, the VIP Picon Room and the private dining room
in CV Steak, they'll be something going on just about every night in December.
While the weekend evenings are pretty much booked, we still have room on some
Sunday through Thursday nights. So, whether it's your office, club, group of
friends, or family we can make it quite easy for you to celebrate here at the
CVI. Plus, to encourage safety, we offer a very special hotel room rate on the
night of your holiday party. Want to know more? Get in touch with Carrie at
775-783-6673.

CVI Christmas Decorations Going Up
Very Soon: Eileen Knox, our Chief Decorating Elf and pictured here, and her
minions are busy unpacking,repairing and polishing the plethora of Christmas Decorations that will soon be spectacularly visible in our restaurants, hallways, casino and other areas. In the process, they
have crammed decorations in just about every unused or temporarily
uninhabited back-of-the house nook and cranny. Just a little peak into the
incredible effort that Eileen and her helpers put into bringing the Christmas
Spirit to the inside of CVI. Meanwhile,
our Engineering staff has just about finished the creation of Candy Cane Lane which
will light up on November 30 at the latest!
Mickey Mouse's Birthday: Speaking of Eileen (and we were - just above) she is one of the biggest Disney fans in the west . . . and Mickey Mouse is the icon of Disney . . . and Micky Mouse's Birthday was yesterday (86!) . . . so, Eileen has some special "Hidden Mickey's" going up in the Christmas decorations . . . but more about that next week!

Third Party Kudos for CV Steak:
Myscha Theriault is an author and avid traveler. She is currently traveling
through North America with her husband and Labrador retriever and the trio
recently spent a weekend in the Carson Valley. We were fortunate that they
dropped by CV Steak for dinner.
Myscha did a great story about her swing through the Carson Valley. Distributed
by McClatchy-Tribune News Service, it has popped up in numerous places on the
Internet. Here's what Myscha had to say about their dinner in CV Steak (no, the Labrador retriever did
not join them for dinner). Here's the excerpt, Thanks, Myscha!!
"If carnivorous offerings captivate your taste buds, you may want
to head to CV Steak. Located in the Carson Valley Inn, it also offers a wide
array of entrees for less than $30, including steak, seafood, chicken and even
a few vegetarian options. Many of their starters are available at less than 10
bucks as well. Value hunters will want to check out a couple of key menu
options.
First, their sampler appetizer tray lets you test drive numerous snacks
at a price of just $15. It's sized for two to share, and makes a nice start to
an extended dining experience. Second, they have an early dining menu that
starts at 4:30 in the afternoon and runs for one hour. For $18, you can order a
three course meal from a set menu that includes options such as chicken
Marsala, salmon fillets, pork medallions and more. Pretty tough to beat,
especially for a fine dining experience."
