We went to brunch on Saturday and found out champagne is now optional. The price didn't seem to change, though. We were disappointed in this and will not be back. As locals, we love our coupons and love champagne brunches. We will not be back. They also went the same way the Mirage did with serve your own drinks. At least the Mirage has a bar with all you can drink wine and beer included. This trend is disappointing to us and one of the main reasons we avoid going to the Strip.
