Vegas Updated

My grandparents came to town from Taiwan this winter break, and my grandpa wanted a little taste of "American Culture." I'm pretty sure he didn't mean it literally, but my parents took my grandparents to Las Vegas. Personally, I don't like Vegas. There's really nothing for me to do except eat, sleep, and watch  t.v. You can probably imagine how bored I was.

The first night were were there, we ate at the off strip M Resort. I have to admit, the place is pretty nice, but the buffet food was shabby. The only thing that interested me was the lobster, but the rest was pretty bland. It was the type of buffet that you could walk through and still have an empty plate.

The next night we ate at the Aria Resort at the new The Buffet. What was nice was that we were also staying at Aria, which made eating convenient. Trust me, the name "The Buffet" is an understatement. It should be called "Las Vegas' Gem Buffet." The food was amazing. My eyes feasted on everything as I walked by the endless array of Asian, Italian, French, and American cuisine. Each cuisine was authentic and impressive, not only by taste but the look of the food as well. My favorites included the all-you-can-eat king crab, the roasted peking duck sandwiches, the array of salami, and the grilled cheese sandwich with dipping tomato soup. Even though I am not a dessert or sweets fan, the dessert section tempted to have a few scoops of their specialty sorbets and ice creams.

After my two nights in the town of CHA-CHING, I learned that the saying "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" doesn't apply to calories. Or fat.
