Things *worth seeing* in Vancouver

Member	Things worth seeing in Vancouver
	tammytoes Moderator (17194posts) 1/26/2005 10:27:00 AM My boss and a large group of his colleages are going to Vancouver in mid April (for one week) for their annual corporate "treat". There will be some meetings to attend during the weekdays, but they will have all evenings and a weekend free to do what they like around the city. Because I am a vancouver native my boss keeps asking me what he and his pals should see and do... I can't think of very much since the weather wont be great at that time of year.. and none of these guys are particularily "outdoorsy". What would you suggest? There is about 50 of them in total. (though i am sure they wont all go out in one massive group) here is a profile of my boss (I can only speak for him) -middle aged -business men execs. -european (dutch) -love dance music -likes good food in large portions -easy going -has never spent time in North America Oh, and keep in mind that all expenses will be paid for by their company.

	tammytoes Moderator (17194posts) 1/26/2005 10:32:00 AM Do you think Whistler will still be open in mid April? Hasn't all the rain ruined the ski season already?
	Nicely Member (25271posts) 1/26/2005 10:32:00 AM Canada Place and Hotel Vancouver lounges for drinks. Gotham , Cardero and such for lunches and dinners. Yeltown for entertainment.
	Low_Rollah Member (7040posts) 1/26/2005 10:33:00 AM Golf.
	Nicely Member (25271posts) 1/26/2005 10:33:00 AM Golf and Grouse mountain restaurant are excellent suggestions.
	tammytoes Moderator (17194posts) 1/26/2005 10:35:00 AM Golf where? What is the best course? Specifics are highly appreciated I am going to compile him a list of places (with address and phone number, as well as hours of operation).
	Nicely Member (25271posts) 1/26/2005 10:35:00 AM I suggested Blue Water Cafe to one of our US executives, and needless to say I have been his favourite Vancouver employee since.
	FILA Member (9187posts) 1/26/2005 10:36:00 AM i went to whistler in april last year and it was great. if these guys are not outdoorsy, they won't be doing much else than sitting by the fire with brandy ... see what i did there?
	tammytoes Moderator (17194posts) 1/26/2005 10:37:00 AM ^ They like to ski, actually. He asked specifically about good mountains in the area.
	tammytoes Moderator (17194posts) 1/26/2005 10:39:00 AM ^ I have. But I still want everyones personal favorite things. Tourism Vancouver would probably not cover everything. Besides, nothing beats the advice from Vancouverites themselves.

	FILA Member (9187posts) 1/26/2005 10:44:00 AM oh. well. then yes ... there's SOME snow left. but i don't know if the mountain is still open then. i personally am not a snow sport enthusiast yet.
	Low_Rollah Member (7040posts) 1/26/2005 10:44:00 AM I think she's asking some idea specific to that age range and profile... 50 business men usually like to relax.. enjoy ... maybe not PARTY but yeh.. stuff like golf, strippers, restaurants.. That's what a typical work trip is like for people in I know that fit that profile.
	Red_dragn Member (5887posts) 1/26/2005 10:46:00 AM send them to Kobe's for dinner, it's fun and the food is fecking awesome
	MoveON Member (5913posts) 1/26/2005 10:50:00 AM I'd say the day should go: Golf Dinner at Joe fortez After dinner drinks at brandies ( Possibly swedish touch ) for the naughty executives.. LOL
	Davis76 Member (5183posts) 1/26/2005 10:51:00 AM If they go to Whistler in April, they can probably get their golfing in up there as well. Nicklaus North is a very nice course up there. In town come courses they may want to check out are Northview, Westwood Plateau, Morgan Creek, Furry Creek, or Meadow Gardens.
