Talking Vegas Pre-Trip

So I leave for Las Vegas in 1 week and 1 day :-) Leaving out Monday morning March 23! Will land in Vegas around 2pm.....
We are staying @ the Mirage....
I am going to see the fabulous Bette Midler Tuesday evening! WOOHOO! This is what I am MOST excited about.....
I want to see the "Bodies" exhibit while I am there....I didn't get the chance to see it when I was in NYC a couple of years ago so now is my chance because I am pretty sure it won't come to Nashville....
They are also having a Titanic exhibit going on! This is another thing that I have always wanted to see :-) ....Now if they only had a King Tut exhibit that week too....HHHMMMM....(yes, i am a nerd) LOL!
I am not that interested in gambling...maybe a few slots here and there but otherwise, I REALLY want to ride the rides and see some shows and take in the museums and exhibits that will be going on....
Anyone have any good dining recommendations?

Sounds like some great plans!

For dining, I can recommend the buffets at the Bellagio and the Wynn.

The breakfast buffet at the Wynn is fantastic. I also cannot rave enough about Cafe babareba in the first floor, outside, at the Fashion Mall. Its fantastic and inexpensive. I've eaten there three times in two trips . . . lunch is great!

There is suppose to be a great new Burger place at the Mirage, I haven't tried it but the menu looks awesome.

I can recommend Yolos at Planet Hollywood if you love Mexican food. Great fajitas.

I enjoyed the Paris breakfast buffett as well. It looks like you're at an outdoor cafe, and they make crepes for you.
