All hotel on the strip have FREE parking. However, if you are on the strip in a nice 4* or 5* hotel (especially Caesar's Palace) DO NOT use valet!!! Places like Caesar's Palace have a scam running on valet where they will literally take up to an HOUR to get you your car... I know cause I went through it... and I know it's a scam because when some guy pulled out a $100, they MAGICALLY got his car in 5 minutes! You could imagine how pissed the rest of us were.

The only other hotels on the southern strip worth staying at are South Pointe and The M Resort. the rest of the little places around there look like crack houses. The Westin even has a trailer park directly behind it... ewwww However, from my knowledge, The M Resort isn't even listed on PRICELINE or HOTWIRE.

I am probably BEST at replying to this thread seeing as how I am a LV resident and a buffet aficionado (whatever that means :)) As stated, The Studio B Buffet is IMO the BEST buffet in Vegas. It's located on the far southern side of the strip. It's on the corner of Las Vegas Blvd. and St. Rose Pkwy, and it's the next casino PAST South Pointe. One of the MAJOR factors in Vegas regarding buffets is time vs money. Usually if you show up BEFORE 4 PM a buffet will cost approx. $8. However, they might not have all the items available at these times whereas they WOULD during the dinner hour. You cold do the smart thing like I do and show up around 3:30-3:45, that way you get the lunch price and shortly after you get there they start bringing out dinner items. Also, this is a STRONG warning, you might want to show up at The M Resort anytime BEFORE 5 PM, because the line there gets EXTREMELY long and you WILL be waiting in line for an HOUR or more! As a matter of fact, the line gets so bad after 5 PM that they have started giving out beepers to signal you when a tables ready so you won't have to wait in line. The food there to me is 5 star quality and at night they have INCREDIBLE amounts of seafood including pie-A-ya, sushi, huge shrimp for cocktail, clam strips, GREAT salmon and halibut. Other buffets to check out include Green Valley Resort, Sunset Station Casino, South Pointe has seafood on the weekends. South Pointe (although expensive on seafood nights) is a great place to go in general as there is almost NEVER a line and the food is decent. Green Valley and Sunset Station will have big lines starting around 5 PM. Generally, any Station casino will have a DECENT buffet, not great just decent. Also, although I've never been, The Rio supposedly has one of the best buffets in Vegas. Also, there are a chain scattered around Vegas called "Buffet Asia", their food is a gamble at times, it's either good or bad, but it's all you can eat Asian and Seafood for $8/day $12/night. Honestly, the BEST buffets and restaraunts are mostly located on the Southside in the posher areas (where I live) in Green Valley / Southern Highlands. Kepp in mind I'm a local and I've eaten in all 4 corners of this valley.
