Buffets always sound good in theory. But face it, after a long day do you really want to stand in line to pay for your food, stand in line to get a table, stand in line to grab a chicken leg, stand in line for a diet coke, and then stand in line for dessert ... all while hanging on to your meal ticket, your purse, your jacket, and your kids simultaneously?
Throw the location in there and a Vegas Buffet is anywhere from 25 to 50 bucks. Serious mula for having to wait on yourself.
Gone are the days of cheap or nearly free anything in Sin City. Prices are on the rise. Unless, of course, you are a steady gambler and you can get some stuff comped.
Little ol' ME? Not a steady gambler and no comps available.
Of course, if I DID become an actual gambler and was able to earn those delicious comps, I'm thinking Vegas would still be ahead and I'd still be in the hole.
Gambling be damned, I haven't even mentioned the idea of a delicious buffet in theory yet ...
Seriously, do you really want to eat anything that 10,000 people have sneezed and breathed over?
Not me, kiddo. My son and his family were in a wedding in Niagara falls recently. Two of them picked up a PARASITIC WORM from the buffet (confirmed by the CDC) that took weeks to get rid of. I'm not making this up!
Consequently, Delicious Buffet is definitely on my list of oxymorons and is the newest addition to The Oxymoron Diaries.
Update - I was reminded of another reason that buffets sort of suck ... calories, calories, and more calories! Pigs at the trough mentality, since you want to get your money's worth, right? Yep, definitely an oxymoron.
