    LoPro – a Downtown Professionals Mixer
    The Downtown Cocktail Room is the site of LoPro, a local professionals mixer where you can “mingle with all the people that are making Downtown Las Vegas happen.” I certainly support the growth of Downtown – it’s a welcome change from the hustle of the Strip yet offers so much more than strip mall Vegas.

They claimed that it was too expensive – I’m sure it does cost a fair share of the taxpayer’s money. But it might be interesting...
