    My Trip Report

    Paid my favorite locals a visit today. Had a nice lunch at the Gold Strike buffet. Hit up my usual favorite machines. Here are a couple that really made my trip worthwhile. 20170708_133442_HDR.jpg 20170708_153236_HDR.jpg 20170708_153319_HDR.jpg 20170708_153459_HDR.jpg 20170708_165128_HDR.jpg
    After I hit the handpay, a woman stopped and almost rudely said "..I just played that machine and put 200.00 in it". I replied "..well, I just got your 200.00 plus another 1000.00!" She wasn't amused, turned around and walked off. Hey, I've had that happen but wouldn't actually express my disappointment!

    The weekday/night items are just average but better than Horseshoe . Friday night through Sunday night, they have a fair seafood selection (shrimp, crab claws, smoked salmon, etc.) and some complimentary drinks. There's a meat carving station where I've seen them grill a steak to order on a special request. Great omelette/pasta station as well. Desserts are pretty good and great selections of ice cream flavors.

    Thanks for the info. I've been using my buffet credit for breakfast, but I may go for dinner or supper next trip.
