Las Vegas

[OnyxCougar]

Best casino buffet in town is the Rio. Period.
Best all around buffet is at Yolie's, down by the HardRock.

The Sahara has $1 and $2 blackjack tables open on weekday (Sun-Thurs) nights and a little po-dunk hotel/casino in Henderson called The El Dorado has $.25 roulette ($2 inside minimum) and free drinks too. Blackjack tables are usually $5 min tho.

I've never been to "The Wynn", must have opened after I left. Steve Wynn is such a pompous ass. As if 14 billion dollar casinos weren't enough, he has to open another one named after himself. Turd.

My favorite themed casino is the Luxor, and their buffet ain't bad, but it's nothing to write home about, either.

Also, Rich, most of the casinos run complimentary shuttles to and from the airport, so if you're staying at a "big name" joint, ask the desk if they do, and save that $50 on the way back to McCarren.

And for god's sake, eat at Yolie's before you go. $25 a person + drinks, but it's worth every penny. And go hungry.

edit: Oh yeah! and if you like outdoorsy stuff, go to Mt. Charleston, the horseback riding should be up and running by now, and hit red rock canyon. Beautiful!!!
