Buffet of Buffets

With Ceasar's raising the entry price to $45 for the buffet of buffets, I am surprised that MGM-Resorts hasn't come up with their own offer. I see the Excalibur is $25 per day, the Luxor is $30 per day midweek, and $35 weekend, and an extra $10 for unlimited beer and wine.

I don't see an ad on the Circus Circus site, but it used to be $25 for the all day offer.

I thought that the multiple location buffets would be helpful in keeping people on your properties, but maybe the people who buy all day buffets are not big gamblers anyway.

MGM hasn't done a lot of cross-promotion between their hotels historically. Until very recently, they were all "go for your own" joints. The MGM southern strip resorts -- Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur, and NYNY -- recently started cross-branding as "The Neighborhood." As of now, this does not look like anything more substantial than a stylized logo.

You wonder if you could go back in time to early 2003 when MGM decided to invest in the British casino market and Sands decided to bid in Macau what kind of pros and cons were discussed. Or what went behind their off on June 4, 2004 to buy the Mandalay Group. It seems a significant part of that offer was the desire to acquire the land for the future City Center.
