Interesting experience
One person dominated the dinner to the point that they spoke 95% of the time, so I really didn’t get to know anyone else. I made a little effort at the bar to talk to the one person I felt drawn to. Whether that person felt any mutual connection to me I’m not sure. The karaoke at the bar was fun. I would try the experience again because I like the concept and believe I could end up meeting someone that would become a true friend or even partner eventually. I do believe that’s possible. Or even if a person only became a professional networking connection that would be cool. Everyone was nice, we just didn’t interact much and to be honest I didn’t feel that compelled to do so with the exception of one. But again, maybe if I knew a little more about them from them getting to share at dinner, that could have been different.Great Experience But Paying Situation For Food Is Weird
Had a great time meeting some incredible people and really cool concept especially in a transient city like Vegas. My only 2 gripes is that the bar that all the groups go to was not being updated and suggested when I went to my Timeleft app, but that was probably a one time bug. However, a true gripe is the paying situation for the bill at the restaurant. The restaurant I got assigned too did not have the option to split it evenly which was a little weird especially for this specific concept. If you are going to gather a bunch of random people and meet each other for the first time and you have to share a bill and hoping everyone did their math right that is very nerve racking especially when you are the person having to pay the bill as the volunteer. An easy fix to that is for Timeleft to vet the restaurant out to see if it’s even possible to split the bill with the amount of people that they are reserving a spot for at that restaurant. Anyways that’s my only gripe, but I can’t stress this enough it was truly great to meet new and old locals in vegas a very much transient city.Great experience all around!
Although it may seem a bit odd to take a seat at a table with random people and have dinner with them, I have to say the entire evening was heartwarming from beginning to end. We all sort of just clicked. The conversation was really nice, I got to know a little bit about each person. The food was delicious at the restaurant. And then almost all of us continued the night at the bar suggested to us by Timeleft. So many other groups were there as well, and I met even more interesting people that I hope to bump into at future events and dinners. I highly recommend the app and the experience overall.
