""While the view is very nice I have no problem finding better quality food for considerably less.""

Wow... I honestly don't know how to respond to that. Are you married? Do you really care what it costs or even what you had to eat? You are -in- Las Vegas.

If he and his wife go somewhere and have a wonderful 5.99 buffet, won't that be something to remember and tell their friends about when they get home? Can't wait to see those video clips...

Maybe.. just maybe... sipping drinks and watching a Nevada sunset atop the Strat or taking a Gondala ride after a wonderful meal at the Venetian or watching the Bellagio fountains from atop the Eifle Tower after dinner in Paris, or having a limo pick you up after dinner at your hotel for a Champagne night flight over Las Vegas would improve the experience... maybe just a bit..?

That's just me I guess. Apparently everyone else is finding romance while standing in the buffet line.
