And you could eat for $10 a day in Vegas several other ways if you wanted to.

Many thanks. Think we'll ditch that idea then !

I take it all the info you're talking about is on page one ? or have I missed something ? Sorry for the newbie questions, this will be our first trip !!

I guess I don't see how you would be eating for $10/day anyway.

Say you did 2 bookings - 1 for 4 days and 1 for 3 days.

If you are paying $10 extra per night to get the buffet offer (which you have said, I haven't checked)...you would be paying $70 over those 7 nights.

For that $70 you would get 4 24-hour buffet passes (if you can double book the deal)...so 2 days for each of you.

So isn't that $70 / 2 /2 - $17.50 per day for the 2 days you would be eating at buffets?

If you wanted to do the buffet of buffets deal anyway - I guess it makes sense as to buy 4 of them outright would be $180...so from that perspective I guess it's a good deal - if it is only $10/night more.

Vegas dining can be as expensive or as cheap as you want it to be really - there are loads of options for discounts out there too - much of the info is on the first page...you will likely only eat 2 meals a day - I don't think we could ever do 2 buffets in a day...only way would be early breakfast and late dinner - one of the reasons the deal doesn't really suit us as unless we did early breakfast, late dinner, early breakfast...it's not really that good of a deal.

Should have said - many of the deals out there will require a voucher from either the Las Vegas Advisor Member Reward book (which does cost $37 for membership) or the American Casino Guide (which is less expensive, but some of us find we get less value out of it - many of the vouchers are off-strip).

When I was there the other week I noticed the 24 hour buffet at 7 hotels for $44.99 if you were a Total Rewards member, or $49.99 if you didn't register. Then they tell you just to sign up at any participating venues (Caesars/Flamingo/Harrahs/Imperial/Paris/Planet Hollywood/Rio
Sorry, but you have to be some kind of pig to do that....:eek: When I had the breakfast buffet at Flamingo (stayed there) I wasn't hungry until about 11pm...:rotfl:But not only can you see the ducks if you sit near the window, but also the flamingos, terrapins and the Koi carp which are huge,,:eek:

Think it was Excalibar which advertised a $24.99 24-hour buffet when I was there.

Meant to say in an earlier posting that I stayed on the 6th floor of the Flamingo (room 6092) and the large window gave a great view of Caesars and I could watch the Bellagio fountains from my window...:T Of course, couldn't hear the music but if an earlier posting of the same music being played over and over and over again, then probably a good thing.

Jon, I did ask in a previous post, what dates are you looking at, I am intrigued about the buffet of buffets only being $10 extra per night.

Did you check all the cheap booking links

Thanks. Just rechecked the info and found the same thing.
So 2 of you get 2 passes in total for 2 day. So you eat free for one day.
Ok, what happens if you booked 2 lots of 2 days to run one after the other? Say 3 and 4 in one booking and 5 and 6 on another? You think they'd give you 4 passes ? Or is that pushing your luck??

I take your point about the cost, but I was checking their room rates yesterday and today with the offer it's only $10 more a night on the dates we're looking at. I'm guessing you can't eat in Vegas for $10 a day any other way !

Apperently from reading another forum it used to work at Ceasers, you just had to ask for all your bookings to be linked when checking in. They have now apperently clamped down on this and you will only get one offer per stay

Odd email received from Uncle Sam this morning

ATTENTION! The travel authorization submitted on September 7, 2010 via ESTA will expire within the next 30 days. It is not possible to extend or renew a current ESTA. You will need to apply for a new ESTA. Please reapply at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov if travel to the United States is intended in the near future. If there are 30 or more days left on the old authorization you will receive a warning message during the application and be asked if you wish to proceed.

Not spam or spoof.......how could they get the date calculation so badly wrong?
