Pink Taco Celebrates Bar Re-Opening

Also worth checking out at the Hard Rock is the mexican eatery Pink Taco, which is celebrating their newly expanded bar area with a grand re-opening party on February 1st. DJ D-Wrek from MTV’s “Wild ‘N Out” will be spinning and the bar will offer pink margaritas for $5, starting at 10pm.

The eatery also has a new “Cinco de Taco” promotion that gets underway starting February 5th. On this and the 5th of every month during the promotion, the Pink Taco will offer $2 Coronas, $3 shots, $3.75 house margaritas and half off appetizers from 4pm until closing.

Of course, if you can’t make it on the 1st or the 5th, the restaurant still offers a sweet weekday happy hour in the bar with half-off appetizers and 2-4-1 on select margaritas and beer offerings from 4pm to 7pm.

Buffet Price Increases Around Town

Several buffets have had price increases lately. Here’s a quick rundown of the ones we’ve spotted:

• Bally’s award-winning Sunday Sterling Champagne Brunch has increased from $65 to $75 per person. Personally, I think paying $75 for a breakfast is crazy, but plenty raved about it when it was still at $65. I guess we’ll have to see if they think it’s worth another $10.

• The Circus Buffet at Circus Circus has upped their breakfast buffet prices from $9.99 to $10.45, lunch from $10.99 to $12.45 and dinner from $11.99 to $13.45. Not sure what’s up with the 45 cents thing – maybe with tax it makes a nice round number?

• Excalibur’s Round Table Buffet has increased all seatings, including the Sunday champagne brunch by $1. Breakfast is now $11.99, lunch is $12.99, dinner is $13.99 and the brunch is now $15.99.

• Flavors at Harrah’s has raised their dinner price $1 to $23.99

• The Spice Market Buffet at Planet Hollywood has also added $1 to the price of all seatings. Breakfast is now $14.99, lunch is now $17.99, dinner is now $25.99 and the weekend Champagne Brunch on Saturday and Sunday is now $21.99 without the champagne and $24.99 with.

• Wynn‘s weekend Champagne Brunch has increased from $28.95 to $29.95 without the bubbly and from $34.95 to $36.95 with it. It still runs both Saturday and Sunday from 8am until 3:30pm.
