Rex -
As a NASCAR fan, it was refreshing to read your review, and even more, to see you comment that you LIKE the crowd, and like when they come to town.
NASCAR fans often get the “inbred/redneck” title, and while some fans can be a little rough around the edges, 99.999% of them are just looking for a cold beer and a good time.
I would imagine NASCAR weekend, while a little more blue collar, was easier to handle than NBA All Star weekend.
Well said my friend.. thanks!

Hey, due respect to your opinion. Disagreement is what makes a market.

For the money, the Sahara Buffet is great, IMHO.

I’ve been going to the Sahara Buffet for the last ten years, and have never had a problem with regard to illness or anything really nasty.

It is in no way comparable to the Wynn or Bellagio Buffets, but for less than $10, they’ve got a good selection. Fresh Roast Beef, Ham, Pork Chops, Pizza, Salad Bar, Deserts … lots of American comfort food with some high-end surprises thrown in here an there.

I think it’s a very competent mid-level Vegas buffet.

The only thing I disagree with is your take on the buffet, the food is disguisting. Nobody should ever eat there. This is not coming from a food snob as my favorite buffet is Terrible’s with a 241 coupon.

This is the first time I actually got to see the bomb. I’ve read about it on many sites so far, some really major ones too, but there were no pictures of the bomb or the shirts for that matter. That thing is ginormous! I hope the spelling of “Detinations” was done on purpose. Haha.

Does that t-shirt say “Beware of Detinations”? Is that the redneck spelling of detonation?

For poker tournament fans, that Sahara tournament is still one of the best of the cheap tournies in LV.
May the poker gods be kind to you this weekend, Rex.

I have been to Sahara a couple of times and have enjoyed it. Had pretty good luck on the slots and like Speed the Ride. The only problem I have had there was it took and Act of Congress to get decent drink service.

Looks like a hidden gem of sorts. I never ventured back there in the Sahara. Next time we’re in Vegas, we’ll check it out, along with many of the other interesting places that you’ve mentioned. I probably won’t go on the virtual rides, I got nauseous from just watching your video, lol.

Yikes!! Is consuming that giant burrito all by yourself even humanly possible?
