While you guys vent your frustrations on the other threads, I'll school you further on what dining out is really like in casinos.
We spent two nights over Christmas with my sister and her husband at Red Rock on our way back from SF. Now for those of you who only eat at CET restaurants that are geared towards foreigners or who think buffets are the end-all in dining, listen up.
RR is in Summerlin as some of you know, and you wouldn't expect a Sam's Town type crowd in there--esp. on Christmas Day. But there's two distinct class of people who go there. I took our guests to Tbones for our holiday celebration, and it was packed with similar type people enjoying the upscale atmosphere of a restaurant that's at least as fine as anything CET offers. The rest of our meals were either at the Grand Cafe or at Salute.
However, the Feast Buffet stuck out like a sore, bleeding thumb because it's not hard to miss the long lines of slugs, foreigners and minorities with their typical packs of babies in strollers and kids fidgiting around annoying every adult....but silently accepting the misery, knowing that a cheap, two-fer, comped or discounted meal awaits! And isn't it just like this group of people to care less about the highly elevated level of germs available for the taking at these filthy, infested buffets. Who is stupid enuf to eat at these places anyway?
Or--and ain't this the truth at any of the locals casinos around town other than GVR--you'll find yourself bumping into the hoards of Chinese in every corner of these places. That's why the casinos are putting in so many of the noodle-slurping joints (as if the Chinese need another reason to run to the casinos every day....).
LV offers a lot of choices for the visitor. Smart people make the right choices.
