Not like there's much to do on Monday.. You'll be glad it started early when you get up on Tuesday morning ;)

Tierra Sur and La Gondola killed it in the LA VIP room. Worth every cent.
How's NYC VIP?
The VIP Hour is nice because you get in before the crowd

The VIP room was ok
but I usually do that after the main room

The main room vendors will run out of dishes
the VIP room only has reserve cut and they are not running out.

VIP in LA got much better drinks and food and wasn't jammed.
No idea about NYC.

I know a few people that go to LA just for the event for that reason...

Only main after an hour and some change starts getting jammed. VIP has plenty of room. Definitely think it’s a good value.

So VIPs should start with main and move to VIP it sounds like.

Exactly, all the offerings there are very good at the beginning, just head there for check in. Also VIP brings out desserts towards the end.

"Convince my wife to let me go" is a risky option for this event. Don't bring her and you won't need to convince her next time...

If me and DW aren't wine drinkers, are we better off taking that money and getting a nice dinner? Or is the food part of it still worth the admission?

Two very different kind of experiences. Social aspect is also big. I’d you have to choose between the 2 then go enjoy dinner at RC.
