I don't want to drift off into the weeds of societal issues, but if one buys or builds a home next to a factory, airport or other facility that already makes a lot of racket and then have the chutzpah to complain about the noise, I hope that home becomes infested with termites.

The reason elected officials side with the residents is because in most jurisdictions the tax rate on private residences generates the highest revenues of all real property taxes.

There was a pig farm just outside of Las Vegas. Been there for years before Las Vegas was little more than a few casinos downtown. Developers have built homes near the pig farm and the smell is really bad. For years people have complained and recently the city of North Las Vegas bought out the pig farmers and they will be moving farther outside of town near a place called Apex. Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs did an episode on the pig farm.  It seems the pigs eat pretty good. They get the scraps from nice buffets like the

Cliffhanger....

Cliffhanger....

There are a lot of really nice buffets in Vegas.

It is NOT your normal buffet.

Of course they don't cost like others either---------

I don't know what the Cliffhanger is but the buffet at Bellagio is an experience beyond words.

I'm apparently an idiot

Dont feel bad , I am also an idiot.

Good or bad experience? 

I ate at the Bellagio in 2009 on my way to San Diego and thought it was decent, though not up to all the ballyhoo expressed by a number of folks.  My prior Vegas experience was in '88 during a two-week job-related stint.  I recall the buffets being really good back then, and stupid cheap.

Years ago part of the "draw" was the cheap buffets. 

That changed quite a bit in the last decade or so.

One of the best deals I got several years ago was "24 hours of food for $39"

You pay 1 price and then can go to any of 7 of the best buffets and eat all you want.  As long as you get into the last one before the 24 hrs is up.

So if you planned it, you have your first meal kinda late in the day.  That way you get 2 dinners, lunch and breakfast for $39.

Which is pretty cheap for Vegas these days.

I didn't see that the last couple of times I was there however.

I guess they figured it out

They have food in Las Vegas?

Very good.  I also know it's not cheap.

My partner in my airplane loves to play cards.  I am not a gambler, but I do enjoy putzing around Vegas so I will often tag along just to pickup the chips he drops and comp tickets.  When they comp him a trip he can bring a guest or two also, they even pay for first class airfare.

They treat their frequent guests really well.  We don't have to stand in line to get in or to get food.  We also don't have to sit near the people that have to told not to eat directly from the buffet table.  The night I was there the Sushi was as fresh and on par with some of the best I have ever had.  When I expressed dissapointment that they didn't have a rare cut of prime rib left that had a good nice size hunk of rib (or is that loin? the darker meat on the edge with a thin layer of fat delineating it ) they cut into another roast.  I bet I ate $100 retail worth of king crag legs.  It was all free too.

We were at the Rio last year for a convention and they delivered value but the Bellagio was epic.  The free room we get too is off the hook.

Is it just me or does free food and booze always seem to taste better?
