I found out today that Santos Spices Market now has delivery and pick up. Santos is an amazing store, with a huge variety of Indian spices as well as legumes, flours, sauces and frozen products. Moreover, they seem to have fixed up the store in the last year and it feels less crowded than before. I definitely like going there in person, though I avoided shopping during the pandemic.
Still, my major problem with Santos is that they have so much stuff that it’s sometimes difficult to find what I want. For example, today I went looking for Kashmiri pepper and I couldn’t find it. It was there, but where? Yes, employees are very helpful and you can ask them, but I hate bothering people. Ordering online will make this much, much easier. Plus I won’t have to remember (or write down) the alternative names for the products I want, as I can just look them up as I go.
I still haven’t used this feature but I will soon!

The Buffet of Buffets is a deal offered by Ceasar’s line of hotels which allows you to make as many visits of the participating buffets as you’d like, within 24 hours. If you want to spend a day doing nothing but eating – and what is Las Vegas about, if not excess – then it’s not a bad deal. We’ve done it twice and might consider doing it again, but given our last experiences with the quality of the participating buffets (see below), we probably won’t do it again.
How Much Does it Cost?
The Buffet of Buffets is $60 for weekdays and $75 for weekends. You get $5 off that price with a Total Rewards card. Children’s prices are the same as adults, but you can get the discounted Total Rewards price if a parent buys it for them.
Weekend prices apply 11 AM Friday to 11 AM Sunday.
Caesar properties often offer deals that include 2 Buffet of Buffet passes with a 2-day reservation.
Buffet of Buffets prices are for food only. They don’t include drinks (unless already included in the buffet price), nor VIP access to the buffet, which allows you to cut in line.
How Much Do you Save?
The Buffet of Buffet can save you money, but with some caveats. The pass costs about as much as a lunch and dinner buffet combined – so to get more than the pass value, you should use it for at least 3 meals – but don’t count on using it for more than that, it’s pretty much impossible to consume more than 3 buffet meals in 24 hours. There are no discount passes for children, so if you have children in your party, you may not save much money at all by using the pass. To get the best value out of your pass, consider buying it for a late dinner, and using it again for an earlier dinner the following day. The weekday pass is a better deal than the weekend pass – and the buffet offerings are not that different on weekends.
Also note that you can get 25% off passes for some of these buffets at Tix 4 Dinner (at $3 a head) and occasional discounts at Groupon.
