So what are those restaurants we used to frequent over the years here in Las Vegas that are gone now, but we still miss? The Mike & Carla Morning Show talked about a restaurant in Salt Lake City that was only be closed for a few months that got a "memorial" service from customers. We're talking speeches, poems, music and more.  It also included a woman singing "Rancheritos" to the tune of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", and another woman making a speech about the restaurant.

So that's why The M&C Morning Show wanted to know, what restaurant in Las Vegas do you miss that much that should have gotten a "memorial" service of this magnitude? Well, if you've lived in Las Vegas for any length of time, places come and go fairly quickly in this town...so the list we put together with the help of listeners covered a lot of ground.

Mike O'Brian mentioned The Tillerman that used to be on East Flamingo that had quite the reputation. Great food, cool little bar and a really good vibe. Others that were mentioned included pizza places to famous Mexican food places and everything in between!

Oh, the buildings might be there and there might be a new food place in it's place, but some memories are tough to give up! Carlo Murphy's on Maryland Parkway came up as well that I'm sure a lot of people remember and we're sure those that would go there still have their fake ID's to prove it! Oh sure, even after they took down the name and put up a new one for the place, the building remained, but it never was the same!

So do us a favor and think of all the places that use to be here in Las Vegas when you first arrive and you have nothing but good memories for what ever reason...and given the chance, you would have been the first to arrange a "memorial" for the place.

Enjoy the segment from this morning as The M&C Morning Show give you a blast from the past of nothing but great memories about Las Vegas!
