Thanks again for the article. I posted a reply on your blog. I would have included the scratch-off tickets in my top ten list.
I mostly agree with 8 out of 10 of your observations. I can't speak to number 3 because I've never stayed there but I do prefer rooms with mini-fridges and no resort fees.
I must respectfully disagree about number 6. While I eat at Boyd buffets often, it's because they're free. There are only a limited number of selections at MSS that I like and maybe one that I almost love. That would be the SMALL pork sticky buns buried in the far corner -- and only when they put them in the stacked bamboo steamers so they stay soft. (When they just put them on a tray, they get hard as baseballs.
) I've always liked those and have never seen them in a buffet anywhere else. Unfortunately, they are sometimes replaced with the large sticky buns, and the stuffing in those tastes terrible, IMO. The smaller ones are sweet & sour and are almost a dessert. I usually save them for last.
