Today is Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar and while I’m not the most observant of all Jews (*cough* bacon/shrimp/cheeseburgers *cough*), I do observe the holiday as a day to atone for all the sins of the last year while I fast for an entire day. Catholics may get more regular absolution…

When I was in Vegas for the incredible BoardingArea Conference (aka BACon) two weeks ago, I was treated to dinner at the brand-new Bazaar Meat at the SLS Hotel & Casino. If you’ve ever been to one of the Bazaars in LA or Miami before, you know they hit the sweet spot between traditional Spanish…

Vegas is a buffet town. When 99-cent all-you-can-eat options disappeared along with the Sahara, the luxury buffet took hold and now diners are paying upwards of $20 per person just for breakfast. The Bellagio Buffet, The Buffet at Wynn, The Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan, and the newly renovated Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace have…
