Eat. Travel. Eat!

We happened to visit Las Vegas recently to update ourselves in all the changes that have been made over the recent years. After arriving at The Mirage and completing our check-in process, we headed for dinner, only to find limited choices, for many of the fine fining establishments were closed. So, we looked to the Cravings Buffet, a place we had visited five years ago . What's changed so far with Cravings? Many Las Vegas hotel dining establishments (including Cravings) now have electronic touchscreen monitors featuring information about the restaurant, as well as menus, at the entrance. With enticing items like osso buco, eel and tuna nigiri, and brown butter salmon, we went into the queue. (Unfortunately, as we would find out later in the meal, the digital menu isn't 100% accurate) Though we did happen to have VIP access to the line, the regular line happened to be shorter, being 8PM when we visited. Yet, even with the shorter lines, it still took ten minutes unti...

What should we eat after driving 4 hours to get there (and it was nighttime when we arrived)? Why drive more to eat somewhere else when there are many restaurants in your hotel? And so, the decision was made. Mirage Cravings Buffet would be our first meal in Vegas for this trip. What else? We'll use up a total of 100 dollars worth in credit (2 50 dollars) for this meal due to your room rate (79+89=168 168-50=118 per room for 2 nights! What a deal!) that we snatched online. Basically means, we are paying only for tax tonight for this dinner after this 100 dollars goes down. That's a pretty good deal in the book! On this coupon situation. We were able to use BOTH coupons and still eat together. We just split up into 2 groups, and then used one room's credit per group so that we could use both. They accepted unlike Woo, and we still were sitting in the same table! Way friendlier in the restrictions compared to Woo. There are many features in the interior of this place. Howe...

Here's a sneak peak of most of the items available at Cravings Buffet at Mirage. With so many videos I took I think I'll keep the videos and the pictures separate! I have a ton for some reason...was trying to walk around so I could eat more food :). Am I crazy for doing so? The raw bar section I couldn't take a video of though as so many people were waiting to get the king crab and shrimp cocktail that they blocked me off! It was like waiting in a school cafeteria for food on a really busy day. Videos taken on December 23, 2008 on our winter trip to Las Vegas. I'll post photos and my review on it next...and then continue on with everything else. This is my first post into my Las Vegas trip!
