Yes, I had Penne Arrabiate and it was really good. Hubby had Eggplant stuffed with spaghetti and he really enjoyed that too.

Highland Lass - that sounds so awful...really sorry to hear that the whole luggage fiasco hit you. Will you be able to claim anything on travel insurance?

Also, who arranged this weather? We think it's the biggest return home weather shock we've had - such a huge difference. I had no coat with me either.

Already looking forward to our March trip!

And I do have a partially used LVA Member Reward book if anyone is going between now and the end of the year (as normal some of the vouchers expire late December). If anyone is interested send me a message with a number between 1 and 100 and will leave it a few days for people to have a chance...if there's more than one potential taker whoever is closest to my number will take it...I've already told hubby what my number is and I don't cheat.

Highland Lass that's rotten Hope your insurance can go some way to sorting it out. Glad you enjoyed the rest of your trip.

I've been playing MyVegas all day - I'm now about 100 spins away from four free Bellagio lunch buffets Just about to go downstairs, pour a g&t and watch Secret Hotels (thanks Credit Crunch, I'd have completely missed out if you hadn't mentioned it!)

Really loved the room, the view, the laundry facilities...very expensive compared to what we are used to but for a special treat it was so worth it...thanks to those who posted about it and put the idea in my head.

I did say to hubby that I could see staying there one night each trip to get all the laundry done!

We had Wicked Spoon for brunch and while the food was good, it was oddly laid out we thought...I know it's brunch so will have breakfast and lunch offerings - but grouping the breakfast offerings together would have made more sense to me rather than having them scattered...I only found eggs benedict by accident in some really random place. And they had pancakes and french toast down at one end...bacon and sausage on another station...it was odd. And I don't know if a comment pebbles had made the day before that made me notice or it not - but the food wasn't that hot, we did not think...it was fresh, you could tell that, but not very warm. And they didn't seem to have the red velvet pancakes I really wanted to try. The food was good, but having now had brunch and dinner there I think that will be it for us - it's not one we would rush back to, not for the price. I can see that the food is higher quality and different sort of stuff to many buffets and it is appealing in that way - but if you're happy with standard buffet fare (which we normally are) it may seem a bit over-priced. We did check if breakfast was included for international guests and it wasn't for us - we had booked on a 20% off for international guests offer and that was our special deal so no breakfast on top...which is what we were expecting but had to ask to be sure.

not at all, pebbles...I wasn't even thinking about what you had said when we sat down but as I tried a few things I thought 'this doesn't seem as hot as I would expect' then remembered your comment. The food was good...just a bit cool. I suppose it's hard to keep things hot enough but keep them from going too far done though I cannot think of another buffet we've had this experience.
