Buffet update

Moved Southpoint's Garden Buffet to the best buffet in town. For the best value and very good food. Very few things did I try and not like.

I added Sams Town's Firelight Buffet as Pretty Good Buffet. Again a good value and good food.

I added The Sahara's Sharah Buffet as the worst buffet in town. At $6.99 it is cheap yet, upon leaving, you get the sense that you still paid too much. What selection of food they did have, all tasted the same. The pizza tasted like the mashed pottatoes that tasted like the prime rib that tasted like the cheesecake. This could have been ok if whatever that taste was tasted good. It really didn't though.
I suppose that is a bit harsh but I think its true.

That said, it is "food", so if your in Vegas and you need to eat cheap, it can't be beat.

Southpoint, Red Rock, Bellagio

That was out itenary for Saturday. A slow, relaxing day.


We started out with brunch at the Southpoint. $12 a person and you get omlettes cooked to order along with all the usual breakfast food. They also serve turkey, prime rib, fried shrimp. It was awesome.


This was my plate before I began to devour it. Hard to tell in the photo, but that omlette is almost 2" thick!!

Nancy told Ottis to go along the whole buffet to see what they had before choosing. Ottis said to heck with that, I'm following Rob to the good stuff.....lol



Then we headed to Red Rock Canyon.


Leaving the visitor's center.


Ottis taking pictures. The big problem with going this time of year is the crowds. There is virtually no parking available. I like going in August when we are the only ones dumb enough to be out there.....








I like this picture. Its often difficult to take this type of picture considering all the different exposure requirement competing against each other. I tried to exposed the camera for the a compramise between the mountains and the sunset. I used my flash(set way down) to properly expose Ottis. It came out pretty nice I think.


Here is Nancy trying to piss off whatever is living in that hole.


Here we are at the Bellagio. I think they re do the atrium with every change in season.










No trip to the Bellagio is complete without seeing the water show.






Waiting for the valet to bring our car.

The South Point

is our new favorite buffet! For $16.95 we had:
Prime Rib
Fried Shrimp
Crab Legs(Already cut in two)
Cat Fish
and much more. All of it was great! Sams Town is just as
good, but the South Point is 2 miles from
our house, where as Sams Town is on the other side of
town. The crab legs were awesome because
you didn't even have to split them open and fight
to get the meat out! Just pick up the leg and dig out the meat!
It would only have been better if they had someone
feeding it to you!

South Point

This is the South Point Casino/Hotel. It kind of marks where we live. It is well south of the "strip" and can be seen from mucch of Vegas. If you get close to it, you are close to our house.
