40 bucks? I can eat for a week on that and that's even throwing in a prime rib and some gas to grill it.

USA Today Link on the Buffet

That extra $15 is for some made-to-order items. Unless they dedicate a very, very large area for dining I think they might have an issue with people sticking around too long. That 2-3 extra minutes people have to wait to get food will add up, lessening the amount of customers they can serve per hour. Nonetheless, if I'm in the area I will most definitely hit it up.

More important, will it be part of the buffet of buffets promo? Or will it be an extra?

They charge extra for the Village Seafood buffet at the Rio ($15), I bet they'd do the exact same thing here.

I'd try it once anyways. Bellagio is best I've had so far, and reason is pretty good quality and I like to try a little of this and a little of that. For a nice buffet I just have that to eat all day and fill up.

Not me, I'm perverse. I only get the stuff
worth the money. Smoked salmon, worth
its weight in silver. Prime rib. King crab.
Oysters Rockefeller. Any expensive steak,
like NY strip. I want my $40 worth. Screw
salads and desert (I'm sugar free) or bread.
I'll eat 36 oysters and 12oz of smoked
salmon. Seriously.

I do crab legs until I want to throw up, then I take a short break drinking something and eat some more. I'm the exact same way, I need to feel like I got the better of them when I leave the restaurant.

It's rare that I ever agree 100% with you Bob, but this is one where I'm with you. If there is smoked salmon on a buffet, I load up an entire plate of just that. I think it's my favorite food in the world.

I didn't say I want salad! I go for the good stuff, but again a little of this and a little of that. And the best part is if they have a variety of deserts. Yummers.

Ever price that stuff in the store? If they have
toast, I'll pile a bunch on the toast and eat it
that way. Buffets depend a lot on serving thin
women and old people, who don't eat a lot.
And people who's favorite food is mashed
potatoes and gravy and salads.

There's a sushi/seafood buffet called Todai, the one in Seattle costed $25-30 a couple of years ago. I've always thought that they had the best business plan, it's impossible to stay completely away from the sushi (I know sashimi can be expensive, but white people can't stay away from the rolls).

According to Harrah's "Pulse of Las Vegas" blog, there will be a $10 surcharge to add the Bacchanal Buffet to the Buffet of Buffets.

Also, it says that the buffet is 25,000 square feet, and will have over 300 different items in the dinner buffet and over 100 in the breakfast buffet.

Sign up for a Total Rewards Visa card and get 2 free buffets. The Bachanel is extra but you are getting a big discount. Gonna be in Vegas for the mission nugget challenge plan on redeeming mine which I just got recently.
edit
just checked my cert, its 2 24 hr buffet of buffet passes. Doesnt say how much extra Bachanel is

Arrive in the mail but its real fast. Comes with the visa card they send you. Plus if you spend 750 over 3 months, get 10000 points worth 100 bucks at CET properties. I never carry a card balance so its a great deal.

Exactly. I get much more mileage by pretending
I don't understand the nature of the post. Kind
of like when an attorney asks a question of a
guy on the stand, and only lets him give a yes
or no answer. He's knows if he lets the guy give
context to his answer, it would against the lawyer's
strategy. Do you still beat your wife. Yes or no.

First of all, leading questions are (99% of the time) only allowed on cross-examination. Secondly, try as we might to force the witness to answer Yes or No — the judge usually allows them to expound. Lastly, those 'trick' questions a la "Do you still beat your wife?" would be objected too immediately by both counsel and the Judge.

I love it when a judge tells the jury to disregard that last statement. Yeah, like that will happen.
