Wondering if someone could provide some further guidance on ways to bypass the queues for buffets on the strip? I found an older post that mentions:
1. People staying at the hotel/casino get to skip the regular queue.
2. Buffet line passes are provided if you spend some time gaming.
3. Slipping the hostess a tip

- I don't think there's much more to add to item 1.
- With regards to item 2, how long would you have to play at a table or slots to earn this comp? We're only going to be playing $5-$10 BJ and maybe quarter slots. We're not looking to have the cost of the buffet comped but just to skip the queue. While the pit boss can be easily found at the tables, where do you track down the slot hostess to get the comp?
- With regards to item 3, how much of tip are we looking at?

TIA.
