Christmas Dinner

This week is meant to be the quietest time of year in Las Vegas, but you wouldn’t know it.

The special Christmas Day buffet menu at Wynn was meant to start serving at 11am and we thought it would be a good idea to be there early to try to beat the rush.  After all, who else that wasn’t jet-lagged would be ready to give themselves a traditional stuffing at that time?

We arrived at 10.45 and it was packed, and by 2pm we’d just about been seated – apparently the entire world had the same idea, and the $45.95 per person price tag hadn’t put many people off.  Fortunately it didn’t cost us a penny, as the two-buffet signup comp Claire earned in the summer was still valid.  That’s stunning bonus value, as a regular dinner buffet is only $34.99.  I’d be pissed off to wait over two hours to pay for it, but for free you know it makes sense!

I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t actually find the Elk (it’s on the menu!) but I munched my way through a truly festive pile of meat and seafood: ham, pork, tandori chicken, veal, shrimp, crab, sturgeon and anchovies.  And then five different puddings.  They’re quite small, honest!
