So I got back from Vegas yesterday, flying through allegiant air at bellingham.

Quick review of my trip.

$20 sandwhich trick at Venetian check in.

They gave me a higher suite with the swimming pool view, but not a bigger suite, as expected. MAYBE, if you give them a $50 or 100, they'll upgrade you to a nicer and different suite, but don't quote me on that since the most basic rooms are suites anyways.

Did the 24HR buffet at buffets which includes Planet Hollywood, Paris, Flamingo, Harrah, Caesars Palace and RIO.

Started at 6:30pm till next day 6:30pm. My stomach could only fit 3 buffets during that time frame. I've been to some of the buffets already on previous trips so I wanted to try the ones that I haven't been to.

RIO Seafood Village - Cost additional $15 per person.

It was alright.... they had oysters, crab, small lobster tails, mussels, clams, both raw and cooked. But RIO was far from the strip, you needed to cab it there, otherwise it's a 30-40minute walk. 7/10

Harrah's The Flavours

Went here for lunch, and was just absolute garbage. The only thing that kept me there was the cotton candy, which the wife loves eating. Other than that, nothing special. Mediocre buffet. 5/10

Caesar's Palace Bucchanal Buffet - Cost additional $30 per person.
I'm just gonna say this.

10/10.

This is by far, the BEST buffet I've ever been to in Vegas.
Well worth the food. Includes shit loads of seafood including oysters (actual good quality). Rack of Lamb, Ribs etc. Sushi which included Tako, Eel, and other premium sushi.
The soup was fuckin top notch. Had the mushroom and truffle soup and I literally had to go back for 2nds and 3rds. It was that rich in flavour.

The dessert section was by far the biggest highlight in the buffet.
Creme Brulee, Chocolate Lava cakes, Crepes, and just a whole variety of high end sweets that I couldn't even touch because I was so damn full.

If you plan to go to ONE buffet in Vegas, then make it the Bucchanal Buffet. Original Price is $50-60 per person.

If you do the 24 hr buffet, sign up for a Total Rewards Card (free), and the pass is cheaper. The pass is $50 per person, and then the additional $30.

If you do the 24 hr buffet, I would rate the following buffets in the order of quality and variety.

1. Caesar's Palace
2. Planet Hollywood
3. Paris
4. RIO
5 / 6. Flamingo and Harrahs

Watched O at Bellagio. It was great, but no story line at all.

Watched Zumanity. Funny and sexy, but not really acrobatic performance. More of a "wow" she can do that kind of performance.

So far that's all I got at the moment.
