Are you ready to eat? Just a few notes before you go. Know that bu et queues (waiting lines) can be long, so plan, especially on the weekend, to either wait, or time your visit appropriately. As I said before, and I’ll say again, most casinos o er players club member discounts or you may even be able to parlay club points for bu ets. Ask and you may receive. And, above all, buen provecho, bon appétit, and good eating at the casino bu et!
