Hey everyone,
New to the forum and will be going to my first Seattle game on 11/4. Have a few questions if you don’t mind.
1. The game on 11/4 is the 2nd set of games for the nfl that day and I know I get club access 3 hrs before game time. Should I get there then and watch other games on Sunday ticket somewhere in club section or is there someplace outside of stadium that would be better? Where in the club is a good place?
2. I think I got my club seats at under face but the tix were sent to mobile and doesn’t have that info. Anyone know what’s face value for club210?
3. First time in Seattle... anyone recommend any good places to visit.? I’ll be staying at Marriott waterfront fri-Monday. I like steakhouses and line to gamble. Black jack and Poker casinos that you would recommend? Space needle worth a visit?
Thanks I. Advance!!!
Steve from NY
Steakhouses -
I swear by Metropolitan Grill. Great steaks, classic steakhouse aesthetic without being too white glove or stuffy and a good location to see and be seen - RW drops in occasionally after games.
Some prefer El Gaucho - also a very worthy place but with a different jazzier and fancier vibe to it.
Maybe go to both and report back?
For gambling there are casinos outside of the city - Snohomish Casino is about 45 minutes from Downtown Seattle in Issaquah. They do have an hourly shuttle bus that picks up at the Convention Center at 7th and Pike (the pickup is within the convention center - if you need a pointer once there the friendly concierge team on the ground level will point you in the right direction). There's also Tulalip up north which is about 60-70 minutes away but that's more of an overnight stay since they redid their hotel space with an excellent remodel. There are some smaller ones too here and there but those are the bigguns.
Just wanted to clarify because there is some misinformation in here. (I don't mean any offense and I'm not trying to be a jerk, just don't want to steer the guy wrong or confuse him)
I'm pretty sure the casino he's talking about is the Snoqualmie Casino, not the Snohomish Casino (no such thing), and it's in Snoqualmie, not Issaquah (there aren't any casinos in Issaquah). In light traffic, the Snoqualmie Casino is about 30 mins east of Seattle right off of I-90, but there is rarely light traffic so probably closer to 45 minutes.
Probably the biggest casino in the area is the Muckleshoot Casino down in Auburn. It's a similar distance (30-ish miles) but can take significantly longer to get to because of route and traffic.
This is a decent, though not terribly comprehensive, summary of the casinos in the area,

I'd recommend one of either the Snoqualmie, the Muckleshoot, or the Tulalip. Those are the 3 largest by far and have the most to offer. All the rest are either farther away or smaller and most of them are both.
As far as steakhouses go, I agree both the Met and El Gaucho are very good and I'm sure you'd be very happy with either of those. If you do decide to head east (like to the Snoqualmie Casino for instance), there's a restaurant in downtown Snoqualmie called the Woodman Lodge that is also a very worthy steakhouse. I've had steaks here many times and have never been disappointed. Both the Cowboy Ribeye and the Steak Delmonico rival any steak I've had at either the Met or El Gaucho.
There's also Jak's Grill. Jak's has 3 locations but the only one I've been to is the one in Issaquah. The restaurant is definitely not as upscale/fancy as the other steakhouses mentioned, but their Steaks are arguably just as good and they are significantly less expensive. The down side to that is that makes them very, very busy. They are also first come, first serve (no reservations) so wait times for a table can easily be an hour or more. All I can say is it's worth the wait. There's a reason they're so busy.
