to the $4.75 breakfast at the Cantina near the parking garage entrance in the Miracle Mile Shops. Eggs, bacon, tortillas, breakfast potatoes with peppers and onions. Coffee was very good. Bloody Marys for $1. Excellent way to start the day. Plenty of sports screens in a Mexican cantina environ.
That's a Steal of a Breakfast Deal!Originally Posted by redietz
! Hey, that rhymes!
I would like to recommend the Big Burger from Carls Jr.. This costs $2.15 and is very filling and tasty. It is charbroiled (like all their burgers). I have no affiliation with Carls Jr. - just a very good deal for the money.
It's amazing how cheap some of these big gambler wannabees are....
My idea of a good breakfast is to skip it and go to Tides at 11am next door to the sportsbook at Green Valley Ranch and have a lobster roll.
Oops!....my bad. Redietz is looking for the big shot homeless bus-rider deal.
Wow. This thread is quickly turning ugly. This is supposed to be a FEEL GOOD thread and you are quickly turning it very insulting. On a certain Gambling website you would have been warned/ suspended for hijacking with a personal insult.Originally Posted by Rob.Singer
Wow! You are consistent with advice, Ron Singer.....consistently bad! Whether it be progressive wagering to overcome negative expectation, right on through to health/nutrition/eating advice.Originally Posted by Rob.Singer
Skipping breakfast is about the worst thing a human being can do. Skipping meals, especially breakfast is why people's metabolism slows as they get older. It also reeks havoc with blood sugar levels contributing to the epidemic that is diabetes.
A person should eat within 60 minutes of waking and then every 3 hours throughout the day, even if only a piece of fruit or snack. That stabilized blood sugar levels and sends a message to the brain that there will be sufficient food supply and nutrition throughout the day. Skip breakfast and the message sent is that there is NOT sufficient food and nutrition coming and the body immediately goes into what is known as "starvation mode". Obviously you are not starving by missing one meal, but it is the body's preservation mode. And the first thing that occurs is metabolism slows. Doing this regularly and metabolism slows permanently.
So there is nothing wrong with your lobster Roll at 11am, if that is something you desire, but make that your second meal of the day. Have a bowl of oatmeal or muffin or something shortly after waking and then work towards your 11am nutrition intake.
Ok, since I have corrected this bad advice, let me do another. Stay away from progression wagering. It doesn't change anything as far as winning and losing....just redistributes the wins and losses a bit.

You know Ron, this is just you trying to take a shot at someone you don't like. There is nothing wrong with AP's and professional players reducing expenses by finding "value". We aren't on vacation, or retired. We are in our working years and we are working. Expenses, like travel, meals lodging can significantly cut into profits, especially for lower limit players and/or players just starting out.Originally Posted by Rob.Singer
Now I am not advocating sleeping in your car as some traveling AP's do, nor packing peanut putter and jelly sandwiches as I did early in my career. But there is nothing wrong with taking advantage of different casino food specials and offers, or just good 'value' specials nearby like Redietz found.
I eat courtesy of a casino every single day, occasionally twice a day. I consider it part of my compensation from this line of work. And even though I am using points, rather than cash, most of those days I use some sort of free or half price offer along with my points. This is the AP way. Stop picking on Redietz just because you don't like him, when he said nothing wrong.....just shared something he found as a good value. I mean come on Ron, aren't you the guy that said the Ron Singer doing all that trolling for years isn't really who you are? Yeah THAT lasted a long time.
I kept things going by using a BConnected discount and an LVA 50% off coupon to eat dinner on steak-and-shrimp night at the Orleans buffet. I have no complaints about the variety and quality of food, and I topped things off with strawberry sorbet. Nice room in which to relax, and the tab was just $11.
Kew, I too ate and still eat most meals I take at casinos compliments of the casinos. But I NEVER have gone out of my way looking for "special deals", two-fers, or midnight bus station specials. Either you're the big hot shot gambler you say you are or you're not. Anyone who throws tens of thousands of dollars into action should have zero need to pinch pennies when it comes to food.
That's how I feel about this kew and that's how I do it. It's not about not liking a weirdo like redietz
You know, it just occurred to me. Anyone who throws tens of thousands of dollars into action should probably own a decent shirt to wear for a video shoot. Kohl's has very generous charge accounts. I can vouch for that. I just got 30% off some shoes. LOL.

Rob, this is all about being a true AP in all facets of life. Lessons of early development in training that cannot be turned off and on like a faucet. Some people know no other way and could not stop that type of style if they wanted. I think the right word is being frugal.

You nailed it Bosox. On one occasion Subway was running a promo where a six inch meatball sandwich was $2. A footlong was $6. I ordered two 6" meatball sandwiches and the cashier rang me up at $6.00 and tax. I said "you got the order wrong, I want two six inch meatball sandwiches" so, with a scowl on her face, I got charged $4.00 and tax.Originally Posted by BoSox

What would it have cost without the scowl?
I'm thinking around the same amount Regnis.Originally Posted by regnis

In the interest of unerring accuracy, I am forced to report that last night's buffet at the Orleans was "steak only," not steak-and-shrimp. I don't eat buffet shrimp, so I didn't notice. Tonight is "steak and shrimp." Thus, my bill yesterday was just $22, which was reduced to $11.

What IDIOT owner would charge $2 for a 6 inch sub but $6 for a footlong sub? They should have made the footlong $4!"Originally Posted by tableplayYou nailed it Bosox.

Generally buffet steak isn't really worthy of the label "steak" either. But if you enjoyed it, that's all that matters.Originally Posted by redietzOriginally Posted by tableplayI'm thinking around the same amount Regnis.Originally Posted by regnis

For my money Orleans, which is the highest priced of Boyd buffets in Vegas...isnt anything special or worthy of that price bump. Just tourist pricing.
Personally I have found food supposed to be hot, rather cold.
I'm pretty much burned out on the regular casino buffet. Only if it is exceptional such as the Wynn, Bachanal, or Wicked Spoon do they peak my interest. I would much rather visit an AYCE Korean BBQ place or something like that.
