"We were looking for a show that is not typically Las Vegas," said Curt Thompson, Boomtown vice president and general manager. "We found Direct from U.S.A. to be an uplifting production that highlights the music America loves best.

"Executive Chef Scott Ringwood and I have developed a chili and soup bar, a large dessert wagon, omelettes cooked to order, seafood and Chinese dishes, and a special barbecue sauce for our chicken and ribs that will be the talk of the town." The 24 -hour Cornstock Coffee Shop seats 148 and features all the special soups and chili and a largef selection of sandwiches. A full breakfast menu is available as well as a complete selection of dinner entrees. Gaudioso said Boomtown has its own bakery, and breads and pastries will be baked fresh daily.
