"All you can eat buffet for $7.50"


This all sounds so casual in a "town" called Las Vegas. It is such a common fixture that it doesn't even sound unusual since every major casino has its own version.


Alka Seltzer, the antacid medicine was celebrating its 75th year. It sponsored a feat at the Hilton to get its fundraiser to the Guinness Book of World Records for promoting the largest ever food buffet. And they've won.


After waiting for over 2 hours, we got our turn and its just all worth it. The food consists of 510 menu items that includes 40 different soups and innumerable types salad, entrees and deserts. You won't even know where to start.


If you ask me, I just focused on the foods that I don't usually eat like seafood, some spicy salads and different kinds of chowders and bisques. I found the breaded tilapia and cod something memorable. I didn't even have room for deserts although the key lime pie seem to call my name. I heard the guy next to our table telling everyone that "the prime rib hurts". It sounded very funny at that time.


Overall, I am glad that I heard the event in TV early morning. I can proudly say that we were part of the Guinness history in Las Vegas. For $7.50, with all that food plus freebies like t-shirts and some alka seltzer tablets, the experience was all worth it!
