The Voodoo lounge is in Rio's which is really nice. The restaurants your mentioned earlier I have not tried them. We did the buffets at Excalibur, MGM, Ballys, Stardust

,Riviera

,Ceasars, Rio's, New York New York all except those you mentioned (sorry) We have been so many times Pixie the only time we really sat down and ate at an exclusive restaurant was in New York New York and that was at Gallaghers (I think thats the name) steak house which chared the steaks (did not like at all but hubby loved it) There are others but I can't remember off the top of my head. We also did Tony Roma's, and a Japanese Restaurant in MGM Grand which was really good. I hear RoseWood is good also. I tend to get alittle queasy around seafood when in Vegas because, about 2 years ago we ate at the Seafood Buffet Rio's. I have never eaten that many Lobster Tails and crab legs in my life. To top it off like a Ninny I ordered the huge margarita in the Rio marg Glass

I was sooo sick. Hubby thought I was crazy. I only sipped it to the top of the R in Rio

That was more than enough. I wish I could have been more help on the other questions. I guess Dh and I are so set in a routine. ONe thing we definitely do is check out the Jazz shows and we often travel to the Dam and Laughlin. I do steer clear of the Helicopter Rides. We were there the year the family of 7 o 8 from New York were killed. I will definitely try the buffet at Paris. I personally think that Rio's is fantastic

Not only do I love the food I love their Keno. ONe year hubby and I had sat down for breakast at the Rio Buffet and I picked up a keno card, marked some numbers paid the keno lady and went to the line to get my food. When she came back around a couple of minutes later, she was walking towards me with this bigg smile on her face. When she made it to my table she shouted YOU JUST WON 2000.00 DOLLARS GIRL

I was soooo happy.
