Who's writing this
I'm Alex. Family man, frequent flyer, food obsessed.
I live in the Chicago suburbs with my wife Vika and our two teenagers. We travel a lot, sometimes for work, often for fun, and we eat well wherever we go.
Every review on this site is something I actually paid for, sailed on, slept in, or ate. If a room is small, I tell you. If the food is incredible, you'll hear about it. If something isn't worth the money, I say so.
If it sounds like a friend telling you about a trip over dinner, I did my job right.

Wynn Buffet Las Vegas: The Best Buffet We've Had, So Why Won't We Go Back?
The Buffet at Wynn might be the best buffet we've ever walked into. The four of us paid $260, and we still won't be going back. We walk the whole line station by station, from the caviar and the crab legs to the dessert wall, sit down with the kids, run a three-slice cake test with Josh, and give you our honest verdict on whether you should go anyway. The honest part: everything was good, but nothing was the one bite that pays for the whole plate. The sushi, the station we were most excited about, was just fine. If you come really hungry it can be worth it. If you just want a great dinner, we'd put that money into one restaurant.
