    It's almost impossible to categorize sports books in Las Vegas as you're so many good ones out there

    It's like anything else everyone has different preferences

    hard to go wrong at the high end ones like Aria, Cosmo, Bellagio, Wynn etc etc

    in terms of good quality/lowest price, best bang for your buck might be The M.

    I don't eat buffets often but have been to most at one time or another.

    When you eat at a buffet at second rate food regardless of the casino it's better to eat in a restaurant

    The old LVH was great as far as wageringwise. I just spent 4 days at Westgate last week and their new limits are a joke. I tried to play 2000 on a college total and Ray the supervisor told me new house rules are 500 max. That's a joke in my book.

    Never thought Southpoint has a bad buffet. I still think Bellagio has the best buffet.

    best poker room is Venetian. With Aria and Bellagio close behind.

    Most underrated in food, poker, and sports: Orleans, and Station Casinos.

    south point buffet is TREMENDOUS if you like viscous sauces and that nasty film that forms when noone has touched the food for awhile. Many times they offered me a free buffet and I told them I'd rather pay for some real food.

    The deli next to the sportsbook is very good as is the oyster bar.

    most of you guys do not know what good food is so your eyes light up when you know you can eat all you want in a buffet

    Throw a 6 pack at most of you and you fukkin jump or sing like fukkin canaries

    Buffets are only good to fill up not quality but QUANTITY

    You gonna be in vegas first weekend of march? Coming out there staying at Aria march 1st-4th. I don't believe you're a real person and will buy you a beer if you show up at Aria while I'm out there. Bonus beer if you give me a winning play

    Don't remember that, but I do remember seattle's best coffee and ice cream shop on the left when you in the main entrance to the casino. The little restaurant diner has good steak and eggs, but Jake I'll take your word for it on the buffet. Again, anyone think their is a better buffet in Las Vegas than the Bellagio?
