The only time I am on or near the strip is when I am crossing LV Blvd to get to the east side of town. In other words I do not go.

I do go to casinos to eat at the you know what and movie theaters...but those are at the locals casinos...

I remember this town when it was mostly a mile of dust between the hotels on the strip. First time here was in 54, and have quite a few recollections from the late 50's and 60's. It ain't the same town... I am nonplussed by gambling and don't. I have also met some interesting people back in the day through my Great Uncle and Aunt who retired here from Detroit.

The best Buffet in LV is at the Studio B at M Hotel way down LV Blvd and Rose Pkwy. Lunch during the week is 17.99. dinner 24.99. The Palms revamped buffet is rated best budget buffet also the Orleans is a good budget buffet. Rio, Mirage, Bellagio, Wynn, Ballys and Aria are considered to be top notch even if they are pricey..

Very wise of you Tabs. Vegas or Reno are not towns to live in if you like gambling.
I had a cousin who worked for a Casino in Reno while going to school. Jis advice was to only gamble with money you were willing to throw into the Truckee river. He was right.
