Buffet of Buffets coupon - where to use it?

I am planning to use the free coupon I got with the Visa card on this months visit, but since I almost never go to CET properties in Vegas, where should I plan to use it.
Friday I will be transitioning from ST to RR and figure that is the day to hit a lunch and dinner buffet on the coupon. Without paying extra, I'm thinking maybe Harrahs for lunch and Paris for dinner. Recommendations would help from you CET regulars.
I will be using mine in a week and a half and I plan on hitting the spice market buffet at PH for both dinners. That is my favorite, but I will probably go to rio(more of a novelty) for lunch and Paris for breakfast since I'm staying at bally's.

The trick is get your pass a little later for dinner or lunch and then make sure you are through the line the next day for your dinner or lunch, which ever one you picked. That way you get 4 buffets in 24 hrs. Remember that 24 hours starts when you pick it up at the rewards booth!
I'd include Rio at some point. Its my favorite, although it is certainly not as good as it once was.
Spice market at planet hollywod is my favorite for dinner.

What I enjoy about this board is reading the many different opinions on food.

First of all, there may be an upcharge for using that coupon on the weekend. Read the fine print. There is also an upcharge if you want to try the new Bachannal Buffet at Caesar's.

I, obviously in the minority, do not care for the Spice Market at PH at all. I've tried it for all three meals and MIGHT go back for breakfast if it was totally free.

Paris is certainly not as good as it was five or six years ago, but they are consistently improving over the past year. I like going for a late breakfast, then getting some of the lunch items.

I also like to do the late lunch, about 2:30, at Bachannal. They bring out the dinner items at 3 pm. Best of both worlds for a cheaper (?) price.

I also like Harrah's Flavors buffet, especially for breakfast.

Remember to eat "normal" not in buffet mode or you will be overstuffed for two days.

We did try the Rio last January and were really disappointed in it (certainly not like it was a few years ago). Paris seems to get some votes and we have never been to PH, so maybe that is a good choice. The suggestion to try to overlap into Sat is a good one, but its a long way from the Red Rock and they usually comp my meals there anyway.
Joy, we've been doing buffets for a long time and know what you mean by stuffed. Not to worry, we've got it down to a main plate and a desert plate...thats enough for us. The best thing about buffets are the variety of choices, not the quanity of food.
Made Platinum on last month's visit to Biloxi (had an extrodinary run on the $ DDB machines with a RF and 2 KAces in a two hour period...all on using their free play), so maybe that might get me into a quicker line (can always hope). So much for the upgrade on the Visa card. Still got $50 to go to get to $750 for the 10,000 points...another gas stop will do it.
Captain, I, too, am platinum, and I am happy to say that at most buffets IN VEGAS you can also go in the "special entrance." Enjoy!

We like the Flamingo, partially because of possible view.
We also are going to use the Visa offer come August. Did you get an actual coupon? Or do you just go to Total Rewards with your Visa card and they take it from there? Thanks for the help.
There was a certificate or what looked like an advertisement for the buffet of buffets that came in the envelope with your Visa Card. That is what you need to take to Total Rewards. I think I have read that others have only had to show the Visa Card though too. We had the certificate. Remember your 24 hours starts from the time you redeem it at Total Rewards not when you get to the actual buffet.
