Oh dang... a navigator's Verandah opened up for an $800 upgrade.
The problem is, American Express will let me spend more than I have.
I had to force myself to stop the process of upgrading because I know the money's not there.

I should stop checking that dang site every day! It's killing me!

So is the seafood buffet during lunch or for dinner? does anyone know?

Brumbie- wow I was not aware you are from Las Vegas, I am actually here right now for New Years... Staying at Treasure Island!!! I am planning to do the Wynn buffet tomorrow, I have heard a lot of good things about? I been here million times, growing up this was my 2nd home, after my parents divorce, but because I have so many relatives here, we never stay in hotel or eat out much, I have had maybe 3 different buffets... but never have I tried Wynn's , but this trip is different... i am here with my girlfriends, NO FAMILY, so I get to experience Vegas like a tourist not a local!! What buffets would you recommend??

Proud of you Brumbie. Not many people out there who have the discipline to not spend money they don't have. Actually if you look at it from that standpoint it would not cost you $800 but with finance/interest charges it would probably have cost you more than $1,200. Extra Mickey bars for Brumbie on the cruise!

Very well said... Good Job Brumbie

 

[Brumbie13]

Haha! Thanks guys!
It's not a matter of self-control as it is a matter of Amex has to be paid in full every month, without exception.

Believe me, if I had a card I could put it on and take a couple months to pay it on, I would be all over that room! Screw the interest cost, I'd do it.

But at the end of the month, the Centurion Man wants his money back, and I don't want to upset the Centurion Man!

Yay for partying in Vegas!

I think you'll have a wonderful buffet at the Wynn... There isn't much at the Wynn that isn't super impressive.

As far as what I recommend, well, I'm a local and I live like a local, so we go to buffets as local casinos.

I'm pretty sure the best crablegs buffet is Friday at the Southpoint.
The Gold Coast usually has good steak night, but I don't remember what night that is, probably Wednesday.

I could go on, but y'all don't want to go those locals places, stay on the Strip!

Go to Imperial Palace and go to Hash House A Go Go. Only go there if you are very hungry.

The Mirage has the best burger place I have ever eaten in my life, but your meal will cost $20-25/person. (So worth it!) It's called BLT Burger.

If you like arcades, The New York New York has fun arcade games, and Circus Circus has a huge arcade/carnival games setup.

There is amazing Gelatto at the casino in CityCenter.

Avoid the gelatto at Planet Hollywood, it tastes like water.

The Bellagio has a great dessert place for all kinds of desserts.



That's about all the Strip advice I have.
Have fun!

We were going to, but can't cuz of the ages of our kiddos. The one that all of the kids can do, requires my 2 youngest to have adults with them and we can't afford for all 5 of us to do the excursion! super bummed!!!!
