I have not tried that lobster roll on a stick, but your post jogged my memory about something else. I was in Vegas in November 2017 and November 2018. In '17, I remember there being a Fat Tuesdays about every 5 steps along the strip. When I went back in '18, I only saw a couple of them, and they weren't in prominent areas of the strip. It's weird how quick that fad ended.

The same ones are still there from when I went in 2014 to this past summer, and they are F'n amazing!

We just started planning an end of March, beginning of April Vegas trip as well. Looking for a long weekend in that time frame to minimize the time off from her work

Aw, everyone's going to Vegas and I'm stuck on the East Coast due to a bunch of weddings. Maybe I'll do Jersey Shore with my Great Aunt, in August...if I feel like driving through that hot mess.
I think I signed up for them all when i went a while back but I don't spend a ton on gambling. i got the 2 buffet/day deal thanks to @mudpuppy's alert, so we'll brunch at the buffets I think. any recs for buffets to check out I'm open for suggestions!!

Many of the rewards programs give you credits not just for gambling, but also for spending money at their properties. You don't get a ton back from Mlife and Total Rewards, but Cosmo's program gives you status for 4,000 points, and with that status you get one free night per year plus a BOGO buffet and free parking. You get 5 points per dollar spent, so it takes $800 in spend to get the status, which doesn't take long when rooms often run $200-300/night (but they're totally worth it!)
Mlife's equivalent is Pearl status, which doesn't get a free room, just a line pass to the buffet and free parking. It takes 25,000 points and you get 25 points per dollar of spend, so it takes $1,000 in hotel/restaurant/spa spend to get (or less if you gamble too.)
As far as which buffets, for your free ones unfortunately Mlife kinds sucks when it comes to buffets. My personal choice would be Aria. It's not huge, but it's got a decent variety and its pretty high quality. Bellagio and Mandalay Bay's buffets suck. We've tried both of them twice now and I won't go back to either even when they're comped. Mirage's buffet is ok (not great) and I hear that Excaliburs is ok but I've never been there.

I liked Wicked Spoon for a buffet. But I went during thanksgiving, so I don’t know if it’s different during the year. Uncle got the ‘skip the line’ pass and it was really really good.

Is it bad that the true reason I want to go is because this great aunt comes from Ireland and usually summers in the Hamptons/Montauk, and suddenly she's like "Jersey Shore is cheaper, I will attempt that." And I'm rubbing my hands together like, 'yes, yes, see the greased up guido parking themselves on your private beach.'
