7 buffets for one price over 24 hours! (not just same day)

I'm not a huge buffet fan either, but this might be a great way to stay fed for a reasonable daily price at least a few days of my June trip.

I think this should be in the strategy section

I think NutN2Lewz has got the basic strategy covered - getting 2 dinners in has to be the way to go.

Day 1
7.30pm Dinner in Spice Market Buffet, PH
Leisurely stroll down the strip
9pm Dessert in Le Village, Paris

Day 2
9am Light early breakfast and coffee in Flamingo
Play a morning tournament
Second breakfast/Light lunch (depending how you roll) at Caesar's
7pm drive out to Rio for dinner

This may one of the best uses of this site EVER.

This is awesome.

Sure using the "2 dinner" basic strategy is a winner, unfortuately we will end up spending the rest of the day in the room napping and....well....you know.

Thanks for sharing this! I will be in Vegas in 2 weeks or so and my group plans on doing this at least 2 days.

I think this buffet ticket is best for people with a platinum card and up so that you can skip the line. That way, you can pop in and grab some food quickly and then leave. I like the idea of doing:

Day 1
Dinner around 7pm
Walk Around
Dessert around 9pm

Day 2
Light breakfast (fruit and yogurt maybe) around 8am or 9am
Light brunch/lunch (stop by for just a sandwich or a salad w/ soup) around noon
"Last meal before you are executed" dinner (sit around for a little bit talking and do dessert too!) around 6pm (but staying till late)

During the last meal, you can also take some fruit with you to-go for the next day's breakfast. Taking an apple and banana with some cookies wrapped in a napkin for breakfast would get you a second light breakfast out of the deal.

This advice comes from a guy who shamelessly uses his platinum/diamond card to get into the buffet at 2:59pm or 3:29pm (depending on buffet) to get dinner food for lunch prices. Best deal is to do this on Friday when you pay weekday lunch price and get weekend dinner food.

I tip my hat to NutN2Lewz - his '2 dinners' strategy is +EV, and I have now refined my thinking to match this suggestion.

This is just incredible! Especially since I will be in Las Vegas in 2 weeks, staying at Paris. My only regret is I will be in town Tuesday through Friday, so I can't use this deal to get hammered at Sunday brunch.

I am such a fan of Planet Hollywood and Rio buffets that I have tried few others. I hope they keep track of where you go during the 24 hours, so I can traumatize whoever or whatever keeps track of these things by seeing me hit 7 buffets in 1 day.

Tuesday:
Get to town Tuesday morning. Too jacked to play poker to feel hungry at lunch. Poker at Venetian.
8pm, buy buffet pass. Dinner at Planet Hollywood. Dessert next door at Paris. Then hit the poker room across the street at Bellagio.

Wednesday:
Light breakfast with the flamingos at Flamingo is a must. Can't beat fruit at sunrise there. Stroll over to Venetian for poker.
Light Lunch at Caesars. Poker at Bellagio.
7pm, eat like a manatee at Rio. Poker at Aria. No need to eat breakfast or lunch on Thursday.

Thursday:
5pm, buy buffet pass. Repeat the circuit over the next 24 hours. Catch evening flight home on Friday.

Total:
3 full days of exquisite meals for $60.

7 Buffets for One Price over 24 Hours = Obese America

What's next...buffets open 24/7? With an annual pass?

It's like the holidays - it's a special time when you're in Vegas to eat like a pig. Diet when you get home. Goes perfect with the shirt I saw a guy wearing while walking around the IP holding a beer last June:

"I didn't come here to save money or lose weight"

I'm not a big fan of buffets, mainly because I never feel like I get my money's worth since I'm usually full after 1 or 2 plates. That being said, I think this is a really good deal because you can have 3 or 4 meals at a different buffet each time for a fixed price. I'm not sure if I'll get it, but I think its a very good idea.

shouldn't TBC take advantage of this? or is it too rich for him?
someone should ping him and let him know... he hasn't been here in a while, he may be reeling from a major vbj hit ...
TBC??

even if the buffet was FREE instead of $24, i would not want to bother with being up and awake 3 times a day for 3 meals and have to be in that casino the whole time or be traveling back and forth to it to eat. ive always thought those werent good deals. on average i spend far less than $10 a day to eat. is why ive never been fat. ive missed out on numerous good free meals here at the 4 queens, (i could be eating a free $160 meal in hugos cellar with someone right now, but i have no interest in it. anyone in vegas who does have an interest let me know, it ends in 2 days.) i have to be there, its for me and a guest. could also be used binions steakhouse.
