DAG,
Thanks for the GREAT trip report. I've fallen behind on my reading, and I've been away.

You did eat well! I'd like to hear a little more on the seafood and sushi at the Bell buffet???
I don't share your love for the PT cruiser, and I will never buy another turbo from Crysler...ever! The 2 I had both went bellie up at 50K and when they go bad...so does the motor!

So must I wait till July for another report from you????

I still see potential for the wheels to come off the rental car place out in the boon-docks. Wait to see how it goes as money gets tighter.

Thanks again DAG!
PS> notice I didn't mention a thing about gambling???? LOL

daughter goes with a dodge mechanic guess i will have to bend his ear abit on the turbos!sushi bar at the bell is separate from the rest of the serving areas so it is a sushi bar not just trays of sushi.huge variety and they will make whatever you want.gobs of king crab and gulf shrimp which have a super flavor over the farmed rased type.since the price of makinos sushi and the price of the bell buffet is 27.95,i think thats what i paid,it's no contest as to what the best value is.the beef i had that nite was a best ever!! the dessert bar is at least a two pounder<G> i never got past the beef,crab,shrimp,sushi,and the two lb. dessert bar. on that nite it was buffet heaven<G> burp!

forgot to mention-the weather was great!!low 70s to mid 70s and for us seattle people that's a heat wave.jmt wore a sweater<G>

The people directing you to the rental car buses don't appear to have voices. They just stand there and point.

dag, I tried the Bellagio buffet last night. Most everything I had was as good as you might expect from a buffet, but not better than an above average restaurant.

Once I found the prime rib to be just okay, I started trying everything else...except sushi. The carving station did have some pretty good salmon, but it was still only less than or equal to a nice restaurant. The only semi exotic thing they had was chicken wellington. As expected, the cooked fish on the steam tables was horrible.

The desserts were cute. I found the tiny irregular shaped dishes to be unstable. The small size did allow me try more different choices.

At $27, I hope this was the final nail in my buffet coffin. For anyone that enjoys buffets, this is about as good as it gets and deserves high marks in the buffet catagory. I'm just not a buffet guy.

WHere does the B buffet rank with you, compared to Wynn or Cravings?

1. B
2. Cravings
6. Wynn

I tried the new Harrah's buffet when it first opened and thought it had a lot of pretty good food. I'd probably put it in a tie with Cravings or #3. It's been a while.
