I've come to this casino several times because of a Star Trek Convention. Contrary to what others say, it is on the strip. It's still located on the same boulevard as all those other casinos. The food at Roxy's Diner is pretty good. Burgers are juicy and tasty and their milk shakes are served in a plastic model of the Stratosphere that's 18 inches high. The Courtyard Buffet or The Buffet is just awesome. I ate there almost every evening. They had one of the largest buffets in Vegas. The prime rib is the best. It's tasty, juicy, and tender. Almost as tender as cutting the meat with your fork. I'm not kidding. Together with the au jus is the best. Don't go the Rio for their Buffet (even though it's the largest for the casinos). They didn't even have prime rib. What is that all about?
