    How did you get it for $4.00 ?!?
    Coupons? Comps?
    (or some sort of red tape?)

    I know Vegas is hurting, but it's hard for me to believe that they would just lower the price that much ...
    my guess is you had some sort of deal, Go T Ti?!?

    Tell us more about Vegas!  I like the Gold Coast buffet and Orleans, and South Coast Buffet..(espescially Wed. night for the South Coast PRIME RIB !!)

      How in holy friggin hell did you eat all that food? Just one of those plates would have had me feeling stuffed, and I'm no petite flower.

          So how was the food?  Frankly,  nothing looks that good to me.  Maybe it is because there is too much food there'  but  that biscuit and gravy  would not ovewhelm me at all.

            I still like to hit up the rare 99¢ shrimp cocktails when they pop up.  Most places have bumped the price though.

              I think this guy has been watching a lot of Man vs Food on TV. Perhaps we can get him to visit the Big Texan some day.

              I couldn't (and wouldn't try to) do all of that.  My plate(s) would have the Bacon and Ham, the Omelet, the hash-browns w/the sausage gravy on them, The Lox(triple the order), The French Toast and the OJ and Milk.  The rest of the inventory would still be on the serving table !

                Agreed!  What's with the "mini " waffle, and "mini" bagels...?!?
                I like  a nice homemade big waffle, and normal size fresh bagel right from the bagel oven..
                 
                IMO,  many of the Vegas buffets are not really "all that"...  
                not as good as they used to be, for the most part....(i.e. prime rib only one night a week, instead of every night)

                    Gives new meaning to "Whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas".
