never even thought about tax and tip (even tho I read about it). Last sentence has me worried now!

Me to, we booked the offer last night, but i can't see how they can make you pay tip and tax based on the $310 value. Is anyone going to cancel?

I got quite exited about this until I saw the menu, I won't eat one of the courses and Tracy won't eat another one of them. Mind the Verandah is a very nice restaurant.

Same...he won't eat the starter, I won't eat the dessert (I know, shocking...but chocolate and fruit is the devil's work). Though the rest of it looks quite nice...and for that price...hmmmm...though we hate dressing up and it strikes me as the sort of place you would either have to dress up, or would feel really out of place if you didn't.

Thought I'd just have a look in case it was nice...

neither OH or I will eat any of the courses :rotfl:and I thought we weren't fussy any more!

Hello from Trump Tower,

Its incredible hot in Vegas in really busy, much busier than last summer.
We wanted to do the all you can eat buffet with the 7 casinos but there seem to be too long queues.

We are looking now for alternative buffets, with no long queues for roughly the same amount of money which is 50$ in total.

We would need twice dinner plus once a big breakfast. Breakfast we where thinking of going to Harrahs, the have an incredible one in the morning. Could someone suggest us something nice for the evening, for roughly 20$? We also have a car so would be flexible to go somewhere else than Strip once.

Thanks so much for your help!

How about the Orleans ? Prices below but be careful Easter Sunday has a higher price as it's a special menu can't get the link to post but www.orleanscasino.com go to dining and the special Easter menu has its own link with prices and full menu. Palms may be worth checking out too-their buffet is smaller than most but very nice. Can't promise "no queues! as Easter is busy although when we went Good Friday three years ago we found everyone seemed to leave Sunday and it got normal again on Strip but the Orleans has lots of seating so the line moves really quickly anyway-far quicker than PH. Paris etc. Orleans buffet isn't as fancy as some but it's reliable lots of choice and an absolute bargain breakfast there is a favourite of mine as fantastic value -you can get the free shuttle from Bills(from 10am so no good for breakfast) or if you do drive the parking is incredibly easy. If money is tight you could do breakfast and dinner there the same day for $24 ($27 on Fridays) but pick up a Players Card first and get another $1 off each. Their "All day" pass is one day not 24 hours like Harrahs.

I've had breakfast at the Harrahs buffet -it was nice enough but coming from the Trump I'd go to the Orleans for less money and just as much choice. It's also a bit lighter and brighter.

If you find somewhere (non buffet) you like on Resturant.com it might be worth buying an 80% off code voucher for dinner (although you'd need to pay to print the voucher out)

What's the dress code for the Verandah?

Would I need a jacket or just trousers and shoes?
