Cannery Casino has $7 Buffet

Less can be better and in this case, Cannery Casinos does quite well. The latest promotion is the $7 Buffet - and you can get that price all day long every Saturday and Sunday. $7 is even below their typical lunch buffet price so for any time of the day, the new weekend promo is definitely a great deal.

Cannery has the typical buffet sections: Salad/Soup Bar, Italian, American/BBQ, Asian, Mexican and Dessert. What I do like about their buffet is that most of their dishes are good. There are some buffets in town that have what I like to call "mystery offerings" and those are the ones that you simply don't touch under any circumstances. However, at Cannery, their pasta is good - and even more importantly, it's usually hot in temperature. The Asian section has tofu. That's a major plus for me. I love tofu. I'll say it again. I love tofu. They make it with a nice light sauce and I tend to pile that onto my plate over some steamed white rice. 

The buffet is open:

Mon - Thur 11:00am to 8:00pm
Fri - 11:00am to 9:00pm
Sat - 9:00am to 9:00pm
Sun - 9:00am to 8:00pm

For a locals buffet at a very reasonable price, I can't complain.

Breakfast 24/7

Palace Station's Grand Cafe Breakfast Skillet

I remember being in LA once and wanting to eat some breakfast at night. I wandered around for 45 minutes to only end up at Denny's. Now, I'm not saying that there aren't late night diners there, but I'm just telling you what happened. 


What I love about Las Vegas is that breakfast offerings are abundant here. You can safely assume, though, that a simple two egg breakfast can be upwards of $10 plus on central Strip properties. However, just off the Strip, down Sahara Ave is Palace Station, a well known locals casino. Twenty-four-seven, the $3.99 two egg breakfast with meat skillet is available. Now if you want to travel farther off-strip to other locals casinos, you will find even cheaper breakfasts, but I'll save that for another post. 


No doubt, it's a good price, but it doesn't stop the fact that I'm reminded of a time when Palace Station's cafe offered the same breakfast for $1.99. I was a total regular there back then. In back then, I mean about five years ago. 


My absolute favorite server was a Korean lady named Kang and she was thick accented and to the point. The conversation went like this: 


Me: I'll have the breakfast special.
Kang: Eggs!?
Me: Over medium
Kang: Meat!?
Me: Bacon well done
Kang: Toast!?
Me: Wheat 
Kang: OK!


Notice that there's the exclamation point before the question tone. It was like you better know the answers! I loved her, she cracked me up. Fast forward to a few years later and I ran into Kang - but she was now serving at another locals casino. It brought back memories!
