Rookie mistake Tim! You should have gone straight to her drivers license.
I tried. It wasn’t easily accessible.
FYI Bitchin Vegas had news about the price increase for Buffet of Buffet’s 3 weeks before Die Is Cast

I have no control so I stay away from buffets in general so this wasn’t a biggie to me. Haha. I figured I’d pass the info on in case you weren’t aware.
Generally Dr. Dave doesn’t break news, but his analysis is usually second to none. As usual, sweet pod.

I know some of my friends who have tried Wicked Spoon liked the small-plates buffet idea. Some of my friends in the food business felt this was cost control. You can only fit so many of those plates on a tray. It’s not a place to pig out, but if you chose wisely it’s very good. This buffet, plates or no plates, is not a contender for the best buffet in Vegas. However, it’s a nice set up, and there are some interesting offerings. BTW this was an easy comp for me, I was playing BJ for about two hours and asked for it, per a dealers recommendation that I do. It’s worth trying, and some of the live stations have pizazz.
I’m generally not a fan of Blackjack sidebets, but has anyone ever seen a Blackjack sidebet on the Strip called In Between?
Vegas Tripping is reporting that the Sahara is closing. I’m more depressed by this than I had expected to be.
It all started with closing the Ho and Stardust.
My question is: How will the Sahara closing affect the Monorail operation as it was the end of the line?
I miss the Stardust… IDIOTS, Boyd Properties are IDIOTS!!!
Tim- it was Sheppard! (is that one B or two Mr Babar?)
