Moved from LasVegasBuffetClub's Venetian Restaurant Page December, 2011

 

The Venetian restaurant is OUT-OF-BUSINESS

 
THE VENETIAN ITALIAN RESTAURANT
PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:  Before the holiday season, my family dined at the Venetian Italian Restaurant.  Our waiter spilled a glass of red wine on a cloth purse of a young lady in our party.  Management said it would dry clean the purse and send it to the young lady, who lives in Southern California.  The holiday season came and went, fall came and went, and winter and spring passed.  During my next visit to Las Vegas that following August, I paid management a visit to inquire about the purse.  I was not received well - A "Toni" tried to "turn the tables" on me.  She actually asked "Did she leave the purse?"  I know it's been a long time, but at least, could I have gotten an apology, if not the  purse? I'll let you know how this turns out.  BC
The Venetian restaurant is on West Sahaara Ave.  It is not affiliated with the Venetian Hotel Casino.

For the present, this restaurant has been dropped from the LVBC favorites list

 

Moved from LasVegasBuffetClub's Plaza Hotel Page December, 2011

 
The Plaza Hotel - built in 1881 - at Number One Main Street is on the Western edge of  Fremont Street - at The Fremont Street Experience.  It once housed the Las Vegas train station at a time when downtown Las Vegas was a vibrant, desirable part of the city.  The Plaza, like much of the downtown area has seen better times.  The Freemont Street Experience has turned things around somewhat for the casinos along Fremont Street, however the Plaza is like a tired old lady who bravely "puts on her face" for the public.  It once was a grand hotel, now somewhat overshadowed by today's extremes.
50 cent referred to the price of a Shrimp Cocktail from the little cafeteria, not a rapper.  The Shrimp Cocktail was a favorite among downtowners.  A bank of Penny slots were available, even though most other casinos shunned them.  "Pennies" made a comeback in 2005.  That was the way it was. 
When the occasional cold spell hit Las Vegas we would stand under the main entrance lights of the Plaza to keep warm.  There are a lot of light bulbs under the canopy. 

THIS IS OUTDATED INFORMATION.

THE MGM GRAND BUFFET offers weekend Champagne Brunches as well as daily breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets.
The room is basically one big open space (with no little cubby-holes nor nooks nor crannies which I prefer.)  I do like the room though.  It's theme is sort of motion-picture-theatre-lobby:  It has theatre-type wall-sconce light fixtures.
"Décor reminiscent of Hollywood's golden age"
The serving area is clever: several very long serving stations are set parallel to one another, so that you have food on both sides while loading the plate...
The choices are extensive.  Even the breakfast buffet has many dozens of choices...
The dinner buffet includes "King crab legs, Rack of lamb, carved turkey, prime rib."

KA By Cirque du Soleil
KÀ by Cirque du Soleil is an unprecedented theatrical event. A masterpiece in storytelling, KÀ uses acrobatic performances, the thrills and action of martial arts techniques from all over the world, plus innovations in puppetry and multimedia to tell the epic tale of twins on a perilous journey to fulfill their shared destiny.
Along the way, the twins confront characters and events representing the opposing forces of good and evil. Before their world comes under attack and collapses around them, the twins receive a magical talisman for protection. As the plot unfolds, danger lies in wait for them at every turn.
KÀ by Cirque du Soleil brings the visual language of cinema to a dazzling live event that is more about storytelling than any previous Cirque du Soleil production.

EAT
Arizona Charlie's Frisco Market Buffet
Although adequate, the FRISCO MARKET BUFFET, at Arizona Charlie's Hotel Casino, on Decatur is minimal in all respects. The room is small, the choices are minimal and the prices are minimal. If you are on a budget or don't need vast varieties of food, this might be the place for you.
Actually the room is very pleasant. Recently remodeled, this intimate room has windows. The buffet choices provide the basics. Everything is scaled down compared to the big guys. The food is prepared well - nothing too fancy or hoity-toity. The place is bright, clean and cozy.
"Enjoy all your favorite American and international dishes in a fresh and fun San Francisco-themed atmosphere at the Frisco Market Buffet. Succulent seafood, mouth-watering pastas, juicy prime rib, fresh salads, scrumptious desserts and much, much more! Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner."

The Firelight Buffet features a wide variety of food items located on several different display cooking areas, including open rotisseries, omelet stations and carving stations.

"The Moroccan palace rising from the desert on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip is not a mirage, but the historic Sahara Hotel & Casino, offering a variety of restaurants, outstanding entertainment and a plethora of affordable rooms.

The Sahara, recognizable by its tall, colorful towers, which were featured prominently in the classic film "Ocean's 11," is evidence that some things do get better with age.

Once a gathering spot for legends like the Rat Pack and Jack Benny, the Sahara continues to attract celebrities, including NASCAR greats like Kyle and Richard Petty. Bar names such as "Abracadabra" and "The Thirsty Camel" emphasize the hotel's Moroccan theme, but old pictures of Liberace and the Beatles remind you that classic Vegas is alive and well at the Sahara." - From Vegas.Com

THE GARDEN COURT BUFFET - Best All Things Considered Buffet

The Buffet Room at the MAIN STREET STATION follows the NEW ORLEANS' decor of the hotel.  "Real" wood ceilings, antique sideboards, objects d' art, and a tiled floor/foyer/waiting area, framed with tile and old-brick walls.  Several dozen ceiling fans keep the air fresh under the high wood ceiling.  This room has "windows."  Being at the epicenter of downtown Las Vegas also adds a sense of adventure that you will not find at a Strip hotel. 

All things considered: price, ambience, food, presentation, windows etc. - We think that this is certainly one of  the best buffets in Las Vegas.

 
"The food is above average with several different stations: American, Asian, Island, Mexican, Italian, Fruit and Salad and Dessert. The LAS VEGAS BUFFET CLUB recommends the breakfast and lunch buffets (the windows add another dimension to the dinning experience. )   This is not to say to ignore the dinner buffet, however the room is a bit colder after dark - still, not as cold as most rooms.  Try the Friday Seafood night.
 
"The  all-you-can eat Garden Court Buffet is the ultimate in Las Vegas buffets. From the moment you step inside, you'll enjoy the spacious surrounding with the vaulted ceilings and Victorian gingerbread decor.  And the food is fabulous, too!"  [Excerpt & photo are from The MSS's website]

Moved from LasVegasBuffetClub's GOLD SPIKE HOTEL page July 26, 2011

 
This "deep downtown" hotel casino is a bit rough around the edges, however it does provide an experience that you won't find at the Mirage or the Bellagio.  An earthy Old Vegas bar, Keno, tables and machines hum and ring into the wee hours.
The rooms tell the story of better times - they must have been quite nice back in the day (Bamboo and grass cloth.)
A bit seedy now, we would not recommend this hotel for a family - however a few guys in town for a gambling junket would find the rates very friendly. 
Management does provide decent security, but a "heads-up" attitude would be suggested.
The restaurant is worth visiting, at least once.  Roast beef  'dinner plates' can be had for a few bucks.  This is a remnant of Old Vegas - which is disappearing rapidly.

Rates as of July, 2010 are down from a high of 30.00+ a year ago.  They're back to 2005 rates of $21.00+

Monthly rates are available, across the street, at the Nellis location.  The  monthly rates, as of July 7, 2010 are [Call for rates.]  The pool at the  Nellis location has been redone.  The Nellis (street) location is a poorer relative of the main park.  About a block and a-half from the main RV park and hotel, one can walk through a parking lot and across one street to reach the main properties.

THE VENETIAN ITALIAN RESTAURANT

PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:  Before the holiday season, my family dined at the Venetian Italian Restaurant. Our waiter spilled a glass of red wine on a cloth purse of a young lady in our party. Management said it would dry clean the purse and send it to the young lady, who lives in Southern California. The holiday season came and went, fall came and went, and winter and spring passed. During my next visit to Las Vegas that following August, I paid management a visit to inquire about the purse. I was not received well - A "Toni" tried to "turn the tables" on me. She actually asked "Did she leave the purse?" I know it's been a long time, but at least, could I have gotten an apology, if not the purse? I'll let you know how this turns out. BC
The Venetian restaurant is on West Sahara Ave. It is not affiliated with the Venetian Hotel Casino.
For the present, this restaurant has been dropped from the LVBC favorites list

Moved from LasVegasBuffetClub's SAM'S TOWN Hotel Pages November 30, 2010

 
Stayed at Sam's Town late August (2005.)  The rooms were being renovated, so I had to put up with new-paint smell in the hallways...  The room appointments were fairly new.  Everything was very clean and tidy.  All in all, it was a pleasant stay.  I paid about $50.00 for a Friday night.
I also stayed at the RV Park in late August (see below.)

FINE ART FESTIVAL - Third Annual Fall Show - September 24 - 25 - FREE
(9-24-05 - I attended the September 24th's show.  Here are my picks for BEST OF SHOW:)
GARY POON'S Watercolors on Silk are stunningly simple (minimal) watercolor images on white silk:
"Dream images" of human figures - fading - as they walk away in the rain, (Striking-black) Crows, other birds,
landscapes and more executed in a Calligraphic / Sumi-e / Kabuki-like (my terminology) painting style. 
Originals as well as prints were available for sale.
NADIA KLEIN'S Monochromic oils immediately evoked thoughts of Cirque Du Soleil figures - in a kind-of
abstract toy doll way.  The artist is also a stunningly good looking doll. (?)
KIM SEYESNEM OBRZUT Bronzes are Native American-Modern sculptures with a ceramic-like finish.
Traditional Native themes with contemporary, sweeping ( impressionistic) curves and angles marry
to create a totally original, Native art form.  These Master Bronzes are as rich as finally crafted jewelry.
One TOM HILL (21st. Century SouthWest Art & Design.) was showing a copper/brass wall hanging which was fashioned into the likes of a traditional Navajo blanket.  This (maybe) 6' x 4' dimensional sculpture "stunned" me when I first saw it.  Layered (6" thick) copper and brass with various patinas, this piece was an almost perfectly balanced piece of sculpture, which is rare indeed.

On Thursday May 11, 2006 we found Joey Lee (from the now-defunct WILDLIFE band) fronting a new group - REMIX - on the stage at the 13 Martini Bar.  Since WILDLIFE was a favorite band, I was not surprised to find that REMIX is another amazing band.  Joey Lee's hands process funky guitar licks into the red solid-body guitar.  His chink a' chink rhythms include that little something extra that makes your head bob.  Lindsay Ellis is the Blonde "Girl Singer" who does what she is supposed to do, and she does it very well.  She sings like she's been at it since she was four years old and according to their web -site, she has.  The other Music-Masters in this band are a drummer, bassist  and keys-man. 
Anyway, 13 Martini Bar has a nice stage and does music and dancing.  Open 4 PM - 4 AM.

New China King Buffet  [Relocated to: 740 Peoria Street Aurora, CO 80011 (720) 857-8078]
2200 West Alameda Avenue
Denver, Colorado  80223
303-922-8889
 
New China King Buffet is located in the Alameda Square Shopping Center.

This buffet is interesting; it would be swell if they served beer and wine…The main dinning room is huge with booths (impressive dark woods) around the perimeter and tables in the center…The buffet itself is humongous: table after table with items such as: Snow Crab Legs, Jumbo Peel and Eat Shrimp, Salmon, Mussels, Stuffed Flounder, Stuffed Shells, Catfish, Crawfish, Seafood Combination, Peking Duck, New York Steak, Bourbon Chicken, Fajita Taco, Japanese Sushi Rolls and Sashimi, Hibachi, General Tso’s Chicken, Prime “Ribs,” Roast Beef, Mongolian Grill, “Pies of Pizza,” and Coconut Shrimp as well as Salads, Fruits and Veggies, Appetizers, and Soups and Desserts…I was especially happy with the Peel and Eat Shrimp, they were large and firm…I also enjoyed the Mongolian Grill, Coconut Shrimp and the desserts…Overall it was a good experience…We will return, next time with a buffet plan: zero in on the items we really want and pass on the rest—yea, right! Buffet prices are: Lunch - $6.99, Dinner - $10.59…Hours: Sunday - Thursday 11 am-9 pm, Friday - Saturday 11 am-9:30 pm…   (Call to verify prices!)

The following article is from Asian Avenue Magazine:

"Those familiar with Alameda Square know that Asian restaurants and grocery stores have anchored the area for years. With the grand opening of New China King Buffet, there’s something for Alameda lovers to try out. Weekday lunch runs for a bargain [$5.99, dinner for $9.99.]  [Current prices are: $6.99 and $10.59 - Nov. 18, 2006]
The staggering amount of food here takes buffet dining to a new level. Some of the fare sticks to standard expectations: sautéed mussels, sesame chicken, steamed dumplings, spring rolls, chicken skewers. Surprisingly, the hot and sour soup is one of the best in Denver, getting the balance of peppery elements and tartness exactly right. Other selections like the seafood combination stand out for authenticity.
The Mongolian grill cooks it up right, with selections ranging from thinly sliced beef and lamb to an assortment of noodles, though it does little to distinguish itself from other grills of its kind. Same goes for the sushi bar, which continually serves more creative rolls than other buffets—dragon rolls and rainbow rolls, for instance—in addition to more mainstream California rolls. Seafood lovers take advantage of the selection of whole fish, peel-and-eat shrimp (true all-you-can-eat connoisseurs understand the value) and snow crab legs.
Despite its primarily Asian offerings, New China King bills itself as Chinese, American, Italian, Mexican, Caribbean and Japanese, so don’t be surprised to find an interesting arrangement of food, which is sometimes a bit confusing. Buffalo wings are in the same section as sautéed green beans, and pies of pizza are matched opposite New England clam chowder. Take it as evidence of the diverse collection that New China King Buffet offers.
It’s the selection that has customers heading to New China King Buffet, though a number of private parties have been utilizing the banquet facilities, since the décor has an edge over other buffets with its nuanced elegance. Rich reds and Asian accents create a celebratory atmosphere, and the spacious seating makes buffet dining unobtrusive and comfortable. Our last word: keep an eye out for this up-and-comer—it’s worth a visit."

This restaurant does not serve alcoholic beverages.

From The Plaza Hotel's page - 2005

 

The Plaza is still a good place to spend an evening. The Omaha Lounge is a throwback to the past - when free lounge shows were the norm. One show in particular is worth seeing: The Dusty Barron Show. Dusty Barron is one of the most talented showman in Las Vegas. With a virtual menagerie of electronic musical devices, his "definitely plugged in" guitar, and amazing vocal control he locks you in from the first note or utterance. To say that he is a man of a thousand voices would be a serious understatement since he also produces a similar number of instrumental and everyday sounds with his electric guitar. At times, he uses the guitar like a control board manipulating a Frankensteinian synthesizer through miles of electrical cables. At other times he plays the guitar like the String master that he is.
Although a bit of a ham - when in comedy mode he shoots jokes out like rapid fire, high caliber bullets. When he gets serious with a song, his voice and manner mesmerizes you. He WAS Ray Charles the other night singing "Georgia On My Mind."
This amazing guy has (literally) a hat full of props as well as the 100 gallon foam rubber hat that he sometimes wears. The show is free but not cheap, even if he's a one man band. Dusty Barron is a "must see" who you'll want to see again. This cat has paid his dues, and pays and pays...

"Pinup Bettie Page hospitalized after heart attack."

 
LOS ANGELES – Bettie Page, a 1950s pinup known for her raven-haired bangs and saucy come-hither looks, was hospitalized in intensive care after suffering a heart attack, her agent said Friday."She's critically ill," Mark Roesler of CMG Worldwide told The Associated Press.He said the 85-year-old had been hospitalized for the last three weeks with pneumonia and was about to be released when she had the heart attack Tuesday. Page was transferred to another hospital in Los Angeles and remained in intensive care Friday.  A family friend, Todd Mueller, said Page was in a coma. When asked to confirm, Roesler said, "I would not deny that," but he would not comment further on her condition.  *read more (below.)
*Page, a secretary turned model, is credited with helping set the stage for the sexual revolution of the rebellious 1960s. She attracted national attention with magazine photographs of her sensuous figure that were tacked up on walls across the country.
Her photos included a centerfold in the January 1955 issue of then-fledgling Playboy magazine, as well as controversial sadomasochistic poses.
Page later spent decades away from the public eye, and during that time battled mental illness and became a born-again Christian.
After resurfacing in the 1990s, she occasionally granted interviews but refused to allow her picture to be taken.
Mueller credits his business dealings with Page for bringing her out of seclusion. He said he first met her in 1989 when he offered her "a bunch of money" to show up at autograph signings.
"I probably sold 3,000 of her autographs, usually for $200 to $300," he said. "Eleanor Roosevelt, we got $40-$50. ... Bettie Page outsells them all."

Rather plain, not counting the (old-time) movie posters and antique memorabilia on the walls, this little
restaurant has high energy and an above average, sharp wait staff.  It is very family friendly...
Think (TV'S) Mel's Diner with class...
A full breakfast, lunch and dinner menu offers the basics and more: above average portions of above average quality food.  The prices are a bit above average, but worth it.  Beer and wine are available.
Breakfasts include Weekday Specials, Eggs & Omelet's, Pancakes and all the other good breakfast stuff.
Mexican food includes: smothered burritos, Red/Green Chile, Quesadillas, Nachos, Tamales and more...
There is a jar of peanut butter on every table, all the time at Annie's.  After the first few visits at Annie's
I'd always remember the pleasure of sitting down and spooning a bit of peanut butter on my plate and
having something to taste as I waited to order.  What a great PR move...

May 31, 2006...I was hanging out at the Venetian today and wondered past the Grand Canal Shoppes, when my eyes "locked" on several pieces of sculpture in a jewelry case.  A tiny black and metal "drum set" (crafted from Black Coral and Precious Metal - I later found out) was perfectly scaled and meticulously finished.  Other musical instruments were on display, as well as other pieces: human figures, animals, mammals, jewelry and much more...

Well, I found out that this work was from THE BERNARD K. PASSMAN GALLERIES...

You can see some of the work and obtain info. from his Web-site (which is as meticulous as the Art.)

The brochure says that Mr. Passman is in his late 80's.  I can well imagine that it took a good many of those years to develop the techniques and tweak the production process.
This is Art-work of the highest quality...To say that this work is from a Master Sculptor is an accurate statement...I'm getting used to seeing really fine Art at the Venetian...

THE PIZZA PALACE is a cubby hole of a restaurant with a few tables across from a bar. Order slices, whole pies, salads, meatball or sausage sandwiches and more. The pizza is - New York style - as you like it. The handcrafted pizza is made with care. The LAS VEGAS BUFFET CLUB recommends the Vegetarian pizza: broccoli, eggplant, mushrooms and black olives over a - superb - traditional red sauce. In the 90's, the pizza chef - who seems to come and go - was indeed a true artist! If your pizza is not superlative, he must be in the "gone" cycle.  PIZZA PALACE IS CLOSED.

From the Black and White floor tiles to the flat-black ceiling, around the flat black walls that frame the framed photos and paintings of Elvis - to the Piece de resistance: a full sized plastic Elvis, this place is cool. A few seats at the small bar (beer and wine,) long-counter seating along the windows facing Colfax and several tables - front and rear - are available for your meal, after placing your order at the service counter. Take a seat and your order will promptly be served. Tasty Rock N’ Roll (recorded) is served up hot in the background; BBQ is served up hot from the kitchen: Sandwiches, Joe’s Platters, Combo Platters, Samplers and “Just Meat-dinners” are served in variations of: Slab Ribs, Rib Tips, Beef Brisket, Shredded Pork, Chicken, Hot Links and Catfish, all served with medium or hot sauce.

The restaurants: THE BUFFET is one of our favorites and the following restaurants, in the hotel, will serve your food needs well:  THE ISLAND CAFE, TONY ROMA'S and WILLIAM B'S  STEAKHOUSE.  They also have a good coffee stand and there is a  Starbucks across (Las Vegas Boulevard) the street.  (STARBUCKS IS CLOSED!)
The rooms in the towers are up to date  modern and moderately priced  (check for specials.)
The rooms in the Villas (Southside two story building, by the pool) have lanais and are just twenty feet from the pool.  The rooms have seen better days, however they may also provide a link to better days (the Las Vegas of the past) some would say.  This is the way Las Vegas was.  If you are more comfortable in the old Las Vegas, this is where you might want to be.  The rooms start at about sixty bucks.
While playing Hexbreaker (May 24, 2006) at the Stardust, I caught the Brandon Bennett (ELVIS MY WAY Show) in the Starlight Lounge and was pretty much impressed with this young man who sings and looks (at least from a distance) like THE KING...He will perform: May 24 - 28, Wed. - Sunday, 6 pm - 10 pm, free admission.  This is a superlative Elvis show.  Mr. Bennett is backed-up by The Heartbreak Orchestra.  This is a fine Rock N' Roll band...
COCO PALMS BUFFET
The Stardust Hotel is one of our favorites.  The buffet is also a favorite.  Greatly improved, after the renovation (around 2000,) this buffet has finally developed into something that better represents the celestial implications of the hotels name.  Specialty nights, moderate prices and a bright cheerful room make this buffet a contender.
The well designed and easily accessible food stations are convenient and appealing.  The only complaint that might be worth mentioning:  Why are some of the salad bar items placed so far away from the glass that one needs 36 inch arms to reach the food?  This question applies to other buffets as well.

Joey Lee's THE REMIX BAND www.remixlv.com is a LVBC favorite.
On Thursday May 11, 2006 we found Joey Lee (from the now-defunct WILDLIFE band) fronting a new group - REMIX - on the stage at the 13 Martini Bar, at HOOTERS.  Since WILDLIFE was a favorite band, I was not surprised to find that REMIX is another amazing band.  Joey Lee processes very funky guitar licks through his red solid-body guitar.  His chink a' chink rhythms include that little something extra that makes your head bob.  Lindsay Ellis is the Blonde "Girl Singer" who does what she is supposed to do, and she does it very well.  She sings like she's been at it since she was four years old and according to their Web -site, she has.  The other Music-Masters in this band are a drummer, bassist  and keys-man.  Access REMIX'S Web-site at:  www.remixlv.com.

October 9, 05  [We went into Hollywood (CA) and dined at MICELI'S this evening.  As usual it was a fine experience.  Instead of individual entrees, we opted for Vegi-pizza and house wine.  The piano (in the upper dining room/bar area) was expertly driven by one Patricia Harrold..  The petite blonde - in a black dress - performed stylized Piano standards.  Her execution was precise, controlled and accurate.]

WYNN LAS VEGAS  had it's Grand Opening, Thursday, April 28? and, of course, it was a great success.  The Las Vegas Buffet Club's local spy, Anthony L. reports: "My first impression was that it was Awe Inspiring, - Elegantly Flabbergasting.  It was just gorgeous."   He continues, "Flowers throughout,
Beautiful People - Beautiful Shops."  "A very gorgeous place."  Apparently gorgeous is the key word here.  
 
Another viewpoint:
WYNN LAS VEGAS had it's Grand Opening, Thursday, April 28.

I just got back in town and visited Wynn Las Vegas for the first time. For what it's worth, here is my review:
My first impression, as we entered through the parking garage portal, was of a garish mishmash of stuff. The colors/patterns were not pleasing. In fact they were somewhat annoying. There didn't seem to be a discernable theme - anywhere. (Wynn's previous hotels: Golden Nugget, Mirage, Treasure Island and of course the Bellagio were appointed beautifully and they all had a recognizable theme. Wynn Las Vegas is missing something - or I am.
To be fair, I did not enter a hotel room.  The Water Show was interesting, but rather minimal compared to the previous projects.
The Ferrari store was cool and the buffet room was spectacular. (We did not eat at the buffet, however, since Wynn's prices tend to make me go elsewhere. As I recall, the breakfast buffet is about $15.00; the dinners ranged from about $20.00 to $30.00. I suppose at some point, I'll try the buffet, but for now, I'll pass. BC

On the second visit (9-0-05,) I find that I, perhaps, misjudged this place: It is a beautiful hotel.  Beautiful people are everywhere.  The cocktail servers are beautiful, Wow!  As to the decor, I looked around and the phrase that came to mind was "Victorian Modern."  (I'm eating my words here! )
A dark haired beauty (GEMA) was working the door at the "Water Show" lounge on my second visit.  I'll be back!

The Desert Outlaws look like "Cowpokes" at a Sheep Shearing.  I was forced to give them a second look to see if they were, in fact, Z Z Top, since their cover of the Z Z Top tune they were cloning was extremely clean.  I only dropped in for a minute, so this info. is limited.  From the little bit that I heard, I'll be back.  (From 9-3-05)
