| - INEXPENSIVE Pizza-Salad-Pasta Buffet!
SITREP
There is NOTHING Spectacular about this location (across the street from the Stratosphere) nor it's menu (QUITE ordinary). And though that does not sound like a stellar-recommendation for someone to "go-out-of-their-way to come to", it IS what it IS, and if you are close by and hungry, this is a stop definitely worth poppin for.
SETUP
As a guest in the Stratosphere, I first noticed Aztec Inn when I was walking to the Circle K (and I should review this Circle K, cause IT is very cool too), and saw that they had a $6.95 all you can eat Pizza Buffet. I pay this when I do the pizza buffets at Roundtable and Mountain Mike's back in Sacramento.
THE MENU
This buffet was so much better with:
* A big selection of pizza slices (including a substantial amount of veggies & pesto based-sauces);
* A big selection of leafy greens, lots of different salad toppings and options;
* A pasta bar with a couple of different selections, usually one with a meat sauce, and then another with a marinara or an alfredo-based sauce; and,
* The bottomless soda was also a great plus.
Being in the casino also allowed many patrons to take advantage of the FULL bar nearby which was it's own separate cost (but usually spirits beyond normal beer & wine are available in most pizza establishments, and sometimes not even the beer & wine).
THE LOWDOWN
Sure, it's very quaint, not at all elegant, but if you're trying to mind your money, and don't want to get stuck putting out $50-$70 for a buffet wristband on the strip that will anchor you to only a handful of food & diversity options for three days, then these little out of the way places are true gems to enjoy.
