I will say one thing - the place is empty and most of the game tables are closed and the slots deserted. The only crowd is around the buffet.
I'm surprised by this, because I've never had a problem getting line passes at Bellagio during holidays - even years ago (I'd hardly consider myself a mega player even now, much less back in those days). I guess I don't get why Wynn decides to alienate gamblers with play history over holiday buffets. What's really the expense here, making non-gambling buffet-only visitors wait a bit longer? I could understand them wanting to assign a higher value to comps to reflect the often-increased holiday buffet pricing, but not eliminating comps entirely. That just seems silly.
