During our road trip we saw our fair share of ghost towns.
And finally we decided to stop at one of them.
Welcome to Goldfield, Nevada. Home to boarded up houses, a historical court house and a fiery fire engine.
Founded in 1902, there were once about 30,000 people here during the goldrush and apparently a whole lot of tavern drinking.
And now it’s dead.
Apparently for Pokin, Vegas = buffets.
So instead of seeing all the shows we just went to the Bacchanal Buffet in Caesar’s Place in Vegas.
We were going back on the road again soon so we ended up eating at 10:45am. It was a bit early for my best bear bud and I — especially since they started switching over to lunch foods already by 11:00, but I guess we got lunch for breakfast prices at least. ($25.95 instead of $35.95)
Bacchanal Buffet is billed as the largest buffet in the world. There are over 500+ dishes. We got a quick tour.
I loaded my plate up right away with lots of desserts. YEAH.
I guess it was too early for Nicholas so he couldn’t eat too much.
Pokin didn’t do too poorly, she filled her plates.
That was kind of fun. I could have eaten more chocolate cake but I think it was way too much for my best bear bud and he felt a bit ill after. Given that I weigh 186* and he only weighs 115* I weigh more and can out eat him too!
* if you ignore that one is grams and the other is pounds. I’m dealing strictly with the numbers here.
So much to see and do! You think they’ll let me play some blackjack? I’m a high-rolling kind of bear.
