    It seems like the perks are greatly attenuated. The last time we were there we couldn't find a good buffet. Can you believe it, we couldn't find a good buffet?
    Still, my wife wants to go there on a weekend junket. Weekend because I've got regular trips I have to make to the VA hospital on weekdays and Saturdays.

    One thing I can say is that I've never resorted to a hooker, not even in Vietnam and not even in Tijuana. Okay, a buddy of mine once hired a hooker to strip for us at a private party but that's the closest. And I suppose ogling at women in a strip club doesn't count.

    Las Vegas buffets at one time were absolutely fabulous. Now, they suck.
    I did have an excellent NY steak sandwich in a cafe in the Peppermill in Reno a couple times but otherwise I've always stuck to buffets.
    A big part of the reason we no longer go to Nevada is because their buffets are now horrible.

    Almost all of them suck.

    The bacchanal was great at Caesars but it has been a few years. The M casino off the strip has a pretty damn good buffet.

    They're just expensive.

    Bacchanal sucked. The Wynn, Bellagio and Paris are the only decent ones on the strip. Paris is debatable, only go for Breakfast.

    Peppermill has gone down hill, its fun and kitchy but the food ain't that good.

    Yup, you are better off buying a $30-40 plate of food at a real restaurant.

    I don't mind paying for something that's good. I hate paying good money for crap, it makes me feel cheated.

    The buffets are such a crap shoot anyway.

    Went to the Wynn and it should have been amazing and it sucked.

    The M Studio B buffet was amazing when it opened, went downhill after a year or two and we went a few weeks ago and it was great.

    Aria and mirage are good.

    Mirage has unlimited booze, with craft beers included.

    I didn't care for the Wynn buffet.

    Wynn had some expensive looking ribeye roast or something like that.

    Huge piece of meat...no salt or pepper or seasoning of any kind.

    When I go to Vegas I take an Uber to Durango Lodge. Great locals bar and I know the staff. Sooo much cheaper than the strip.
