Last time I was in Vegas it was very cheap to eat there unless you went out to a nice restaurant. The casinos fed you cheap wanting you to be there to gamble. Rooms and food were cheap, cigarettes were free if you were gambling. I bet you can tell I have not been to Vegas since 1976.
The last time I was in Vegas(2007) we stayed at the Mandalay Bay..ate at the buffets, I mean who doesn’t love the buffets, never ordered room service too expensive..back then you go to the buffet at around 10:30 in the morning and basically get both breakfast and lunch included(They wouldn’t kick you out for the lunch menu) now they don’t allow that anymore
