Checkout day! At long last our car, well-rested in the parking garage all week, got to start driving again :-) Rather than eating before we left, we decided to head out at around 11am and then hit a buffet for brunch at one of the hotels in Primm, some 40 minutes away. Unfortunately, our plans went awry. We first went to Buffalo Bill's, which we discovered was closed for a few weeks! Tried going across the way to Whiskey Pete's, only to discover that their buffet wasn't open (though their cafe was). Our minds still set on a buffet, after the wonderful experience with one that got mediocre reviews in Vegas, we went to Primm Valley Resort, which charged more for a much smaller selection. The service was terrible, to boot. It took us ages to get silverware and drinks, and by the time we got knives, our meat was cold and tough. The food wasn't that great either, although they did have a delicious spaghetti sauce with whole chunks of vegetables. That was its only redeeming factor. We're definitely never going there again!
I guess this wasn't much of a post, as the rest of the day was spent driving home, settling back in, wrapping Christmas presents in preparation for Friday, and enjoying sleeping in our own beds and showering in our own showers. Back to work on Thursday, et voila! Our vacation is over and we had an immensely good time.
As you can tell from all the previous posts outlining our trip, I've included a tiny smattering of photos to accompany the writing, but I've uploaded most of the pictures here:

That's too bad to end off your trip that way when it sounds like you had such delicious restaurant experiences the rest of the time. I hope you and Allan had a great time overall. Must have been the epitome of "short but sweet."
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you posted the link to the pics. I hadn't caught it on Facebook when you put it up. The mirrored ceiling picture is pretty awesome, I must say.
(And sorry for the flood of comments! I think I'm all caught up now and will try to keep pace with your impressively consistent blogging. ;))
ReplyDeleteYeah, in retrospect we would've been better off just eating at our own hotel's buffet, esp since we had a coupon that would've made it even cheaper than the one at Primm Valley. Ah well, that'll teach us to call ahead next time!
ReplyDeleteHehe, and I think I'm all caught up on replying, now ;-) Not sure if you already get the email notifications when I reply directly, but thought I'd Cc: you on this one just in case :-D
ReplyDeletelol I didn't subscribe to the comments because I figured you'd be replying and it would make me anxious to have a lot to catch up on all over again.
