    Thanks to all of you who posted about my Monte Carlo buffet question( Count, Jack Rabbit, Battery, and even Spiderman)!

    Sorry I'm late to the party. :-)

    Actually, it's been a couple of years since I've had the buffet at Monte Carlo. I don't have any strong lasting recollections, which probably means that it was quite good but not awesomely great.

    Or it means my mind is going . . .

    Parker: Impossible to say

    > town, Parker? Pleez let me know...

    People have different tastes in buffets. Personally, if I'm going to spend $20 or more for dinner, I want someone to bring the food to me. Therefore, I tend to avoid the top-end buffets such as those at Aladdin and Bellagio.

    Free buffets are the best, so I tend to frequent those in which the casinos have playable blackjack and easy comps.

    Besides, I'm more of a downtown type guy. There I like the buffets at Main St. Station and Golden Nugget. Avoid those at Lady Luck and Fitzgerald's, even if you get them comped.

    All the Station casinos, along with the two Fiestas, have decent buffets at reasonable prices.

    I think that everyone's fascination with the Rio buffet is simply because it's so darn big. I've never actually heard people say that it's good, and I've never eaten there, for a variety of reasons. I've also never - never - had any kind of seafood (except crab legs) from a buffet that I would classify as "good," anywhere, so I'm doubtful that the Rio has somehow figured out a way to serve good seafood when no one else has.

    The Mirage buffet has reopened as a high-end restaurant/ buffet, with prices to match. I believe it's called "Cravings," or something like that. The ti buffet is currently undergoing the same transformation.

    My vote for best downtown buffet goes to Main Street Station, very reasonable at, I think, $11.00 for dinner. I have some regular haunts, and I haven't been to most of the Strip buffets in a long time, but the Paris buffet is good at dinner, as is the Aladdin buffet. The Palms has really good baba ganoush, and a decent Wednesday night Italian theme (with free wine).

    For locals joints, Sunset Station has a decent buffet with good hamburgers, Texas Station has a really good chili bar, and Fiesta Henderson (the old Reserve) has the best buffet pizza in town, hands down. Mind you, I'm a Chicago girl and nothing in town, not even the pizza joints, has anything like a good old Chicago pizza, and the buffets usually have some doughy piece of crap with ketchup and a little cheese on it. The Fiesta isn't awesome, but it's better than a lot of pizza places, and much better than any other buffet pizza I've had.

    Flyboy: Horseshoe Steakhouse

    I have been led to understand that one reason the steaks at the Horseshoe were so good was that the beef came from the Binion ranch. Is that still the case?
