On a Tuesday or Wed? During the day? Seriously?

The only time we had major traffic issues was on weekends & sometimes in the evenings. It's a busy street with lots of signals, but it's not like there's a ton of traffic jams.

Oh well, just be prepared for anything & give youself extra time to get places.

I think that's when I am arriving too.

And I'm taking the red eye out Thursday night.

I was told to save up for food and drink for Vegas--my friend said saying you can eat in Vegas inexpensively? is a lie. If you go for the convience of the strip, you're going to pay more. She told me every morning at The Flamingo they paid 20 some dollars for the breakfast. From their hotel room, there was a sign that said "Five Dollar all you can eat breakfast" with pancakes on the sign. They tried to find it more than once but never could

I plan on doing a little research but I am a huge $40 A Day/Rachael Ray nerd and she did a show in Vegas.

Most is off the strip but i'm not sure how far away or if it's in walking distance for us.

I <3 Rachel Ray!

She's on a book tour and is coming to Boston next week so I'll probably pop in to see her!

OT - a friend just went to GA for a conference & brought me back a spice for pork from Paula Deen's place. She said she saw it & immediately thought of me.

It's called: Paula's Butt Rub.

Here's a little update:

The best buffets are apparently Bellagio & Paris, but both are "gourmet" and are about $25 for dinner (one idea given was do lunch at Bellagio for $15 - they claim it's very much worth it.) Slightly cheaper but still rated very good ($15-$20) are at The Aladdin (Spice Market Buffet,) Cravings at Mirage or the buffets at Mandalay Bay or MGM. However, NONE of the buffets are open past 10pm, so going to one after the show is out of the question. I know the buffet at Boardwalk is open all night, but I also know the buffet at Boardwalk sucks ass.

As far as 24 hour joints to eat after the show, there's America @ NYNY (coffee shop/restaurant), Sidewalk Cafe @ Bally's (coffee shop/restaurant), Fix @ Bellagio (burger joint - the reviews sounded really good!) I'm sure there's more places, but I've just started searching.

More casual places in general are Brew Pub at Monte Carlo, Blue Iguana at Circus Circus (I've been here, pretty good Mexican food& great margartias!) or Nine Fine Irishmen at NYNY (bar that serves sandwiches, burgers, etc. I believe Irishmen is open until 2am, not sure about the rest.

Also - here is a basic map of the Strip for those who haven't found one. Remember - something that is "next door" to something else is still a good 10-20 minute walk at least.

More to come as I continue my scientific research...
