I was tied up in SE Asia and lost all of the cache of shopping points. Not that I ever made an effort to use them and they always remind me to go shopping or something. Nice to be back in LV, definitely my home away from home.

So quality would be something to watch out for - the recent reviews for their brunch have been very negative, touting cold food, lack of taste, and a few instances of food poisoning. Certainly not what Steve Wynn would have allowed, but MGM shareholders seem OK with it.
The asking price was about $45 for lunch? Not worth it and I'd never pay, but comped is ok. This time, the prime rib was very very good, but the rest was underwhelming. The Oysters Rockefeller were decent and farmed salmon was the only fish, unlike in the past when you also had at least sea bass. No crab, at all; and, even the pasta dishes were all pulled. On the bright side, dessert has been expanded and improved.
Yeah, I think the golden age of the great gourmet buffets may be a remnant of the past. Those were fun times.
