Hope nobody on this forum caught up by this.

I bet that cost a few $ in lost gaming, not to mention the comps to make up for the inconvenience.

hi and it seems you have alot of rewards may i ask you did you buy more chips?

how did you get 4nights at the aria?

have you been to the Station casinos buffets before? how were they?

kind regards

Chyna will answer i am sure, but station rewards are on top of the 3 /4 MGM rewards

I have been to many if not most buffets in and around Vegas, we often use the station buffets for breakfast as even without rewards they can be as little as $6 a head (sunset station comes to mind)

they are all ok without being exceptional but are much better value than any of the strip buffets

You do need a car though.

maybe silver sevens(used to be terribles) is walkable its not a station but they do do a cheap buffet breakfast.

of course there is always ellis island for the steak and eggs special for bfast

if anyone is flying back shortly - I would be interested to know if there is anything airside at LAS that I might get for my colleague...the consensus is that some sort of prosecco or cava or champagne would be good...but I do not want to just get her something she can get here - I would like it to be, in some way, special. I would be interested to know if there is anything I could get before boarding, or if I would be better off looking around and carefully packing it.

it's a while since I've looked around the airport, but which terminal will you be leaving from?

I notice that Paris are re-accommodating all guests elsewhere now... what a nightmare!

one week today - we'll hopefully have landed and be somewhere between the terminal, rental car facility and hotel.

Woohoo! We are looking forward to seeing you both. It feels like ages since we met up last time.

Hi, I have bought chips. I've been playing since 2011 and early on it was a lot easier to get rewards with a little spend. I would hate to try and get 5 now.

As to Aria, we were both lucky enough to get the 2 nights Aria comp for the dates we needed.

I'm a big fan of buffets as I love picking and having a plate of different flavours. We liked all the station casino buffets and we always came away happy and full. They certainly do not have Free-flowing champagne & unlimited lobster tail & caviar like Sterling Brunch but quality v price was good enough for me.

Palms is now a Stations property. Their breakfast is $6.99 per person.

We are currently sat in Ellis Island waiting for our Steak and eggs. 😀

It's been a few years since i've wandered around, but there definitely was a booze shop in there (I bought one of those ridiculous sized bottles of Jack Daniels from there once). It is noticeably expensive buying in the airport though (but as you say, you have the benefit of not having to pack it), however I always bring booze home in the suitcase (usually with multiple flight connections), and not had one issue yet.

Your best bet for something different, would be to go here (I know you'll have a car and they have stores in a few locations ) --> http://leesliquorlv.com/

They are massive so loads of choice and they're quite cheap too - this is a pic I took last year

I can highly recommend the Domaine Carneros - https://www.domainecarneros.com/about/our-story - you will probably pick up a bottle at Lee's for around $25 and it's properly produced unlike most american sparkling stuff (and I've never seen it in the UK)
