I have just called Flavors at Harrah's to ask about the All Day Buffet pass and they have never heard of it. Quite strange as the flyer, or page from the Empire magazine, I posted earlier looked official enough to me.

Nice win to start off the trip with.

Did your AA flight have seat back video? The last time we did AA from Man it was only the screens on the ceiling every few rows.

we did have seat back TV and everything was on a loop of about 20-30 mins - but we specifically chose flights on a 777 as the 767s have the drop down screens.

And we did the lion cub photos...contrary to what I previously said, you DO get to hold them...at least when they are this small. Our cub was named Blackjack and he is 35 days old today (there were 2 other cubs as well - Lucky was one, not sure the name of the other - after us they put Blackjack back to rest and brought Lucky out so looks like each cub has photos for about an hour). It was so cool watching the trainer feeding him and burping him and cuddling him - he obviously loves them. They clearly put the welfare of the cubs first - they stopped taking photos 3x while we were in the queue so he could feed Blackjack. Only for a few minutes each time - but it was nice to see. The other cool thing was we mentioned to the trainer that we last had a photo taken with Chili or Pepper a few years ago (can never remember which one it was) and the trainer mentioned that Chili and Pepper were the 2 lions in the enclosure at the moment.

And this time, I managed not to cry!

Photome, that expedia link you provided a few pages back also mentions the buffet deal though:

FREE 24 Hour Buffet for 2
Book a minimum 3-night stay in a "FREE 24 Hour Buffet for 2" rate category March 17 - April 15, 2010 for travel April 19 - June 3, 2010 and receive an all-you-can-eat buffet for a full 24 hours from time of entry at first buffet; valid for 24 hours during a 3-night stay for 2 people, per reservation across 7 properties. Free 24 hour buffet is valid at the following restaurants:

Harrah's Las Vegas: Flavors

Planet Hollywood: Spice Market Buffet
Must book a minimum 3-night stay in a "FREE 24 Hour Buffet for 2" rate category to qualify. Upon entry to first buffet starting the 24 hour time period, guests will need to charge the 2 buffet passes back to their room. The charges will be deducted upon check-out.

Surely that's too far to go for an April Fools hoax?!? I really hope this does exist as it looks like it would be a great deal.

we'll ask at the Paris buffet and report back what they have to say about the all-day thing.

if it's all day for just one buffet it's less interesting to us I think - don't like the idea of eating the same place multiple times in a day with so many options to choose from!

OK, Jamie just said that there's a sign that covers about 1/3 of Bally's facing Bill's that says 24- hour Rio Carnival World buffet for $29.99. and no, I do not know how I missed a sign that covers 1/3 of the height of a building - but as I was driving, this is my excuse. will still check at Paris if they say it can be used at multiple buffets.

I almost cried reading it. I think we'll just miss the baby cats.

Im soo hoping i can have my pic taken with the cubs but would love to hold one as well.
Im out there in 5 weeks, any idea if they are likely to still let people hold them?
Out of interest what was the price? not that it would put me off
