Looks like four days/three nights. Will you be solo? Take your bankroll. Divide it by four. Set a gambling limit for each day. Set a drink limit for each day. Set a sleep time limit (I usually try for 2-3 am and sleep until 7-8 am).

Sounds like you want AYCE. I have done Umiya near Rio, was good. Others like JJanga...check out the fine and casual dining threads.

If you are solo, I doubt it will be a problem. Usually there is a single chair somewhere. Even if there's a towel on it (and no items like shoes/clothes), ask anyone nearby if it's claimed. If not, take it. You can always move if someone comes back and complains. Time of day is relevant: Sometimes later is better--the early crowd is gone and you can show up and hang out. Of course, if it's 100F then shade is important and you are not as likely to find the ideal spot.

Shoes and money to follow.
Good luck!
