    Breakfast was also at the Wynn buffet
    So many gems at Wynn slots which I can use...
    I liked their breakfast and brunch items

    Breakfast today at the Bellagio buffet with MyVEGAS reward
    This buffets is so much worse than it once has been
    Self service for drinks, slow removal of dirty plates and a less than exclusive food selection and quality
    Looks like this moves to my no go list slowly, even for free not good enough

    The beef and also the Pad Thai was horrible, only good item was the hazelnut ice cream. Really?

    At least the slots treated me better today, not a big plus but any positive figure is welcome

    Following!! So glad you got your luggage. In addition to the food, it looks like your gambling is off to a decent start, i.e., you are holding your own, which is winning in my book!

    Hope the rest of the trip is great.

    For dinner I went to Bardot Brasserie inside ARIA
    I had some food credit from MLife, I usually try going somewhere I have not been before

    Completely satisfied with meal and service here.
    Had the Steak Tartare and Loup de Mer

    Checked in to Cosmo, that view never gets old

    Cosmo slots were nice to me, so finally I had my first winning day this trip. Not enough to cover the losses, but hey, these days are feeling so much better

    Slots were horrible this morning, lost most of today’s budget already. Good I have my Grand Canyon flight now, that does not cost me much...

    Today breakfast was Excalibur brunch from MyVEGAS. Honestly that was better than the Bellagio one. So much improved in the new buffet and the server was quick and friendly and everything looked clean

    @HolgerKCH I’m not surprised by your experience at bellagio buffet ... last two times I been there (past 3 years, only on weekends for king crabs) I was very disappointed by their selections, quality and not mention their service. I do like aria buffet better but it seems to me all buffet at Vegas thier quality has gone down over all. (Yeah tried the Caesars, Wynn etc) maybe I’m just asking too much lol. But following your awesome TR !!!

    Thanks for the heads up on the Bellagio Buffet review. That’s now one I won’t chase when I arrive in Vegas next month!

    Good luck with the rest of your trip!!

    GC heli trip with MyVegas reward was really awesome. The only negative is the missing space for big people like me in the heli, but the flight and all the stuff you get to see is really nice
    They fly to GC West, so it is not as impresive as GC south but still not bad at all

    Dinner was also a MyVegas reward for Aria dinner buffet. Positive surprise, for me still one of the not so many buffets in town worth going to. Good quality and selection, only the drink service was very slow

    Nothing positive from the gambling, daily bank roll gone. But hey, it is only money

    Another breakfast at Wynn buffet as I like it and have still many gems to use from the Wynn slots

    Slots still hate me, just few good wins, not enough to cover all the losses

    For dinner I drove a few minutes off strip to Kura Revolving sushi restaurant
    If you like Sushi you should try it, very tasty and good price, just 2.65 per plate

    Had dinner at Edge Steakhouse inside the Westgate
    Have never been inside, quite impressive sports book and the casino did not look bad either and was quite busy
    Food was excellent
    Sorry, no pictures as Tapatalk says I reached my limit for the month
    Also visited Pinball Hall of fame

    At Earl of Sandwich now and then off to the airport

    Nice TR!!!

    The browser on your phone should also be able to do it. Free tapatalk is insufficient for a TR now, unfortunately.

    And as for the Aria buffet, the last few times we've told the waitress to bring us cokes 2 at a time. They have too many tables to serve, and the glasses are way too small.
