If price is no object and you want a spectacular brunch, try Jasmine at the Bell. Here's a link:

How does Jasmine compare to the Sterling Brunch? At these price points 20 bucks more doesn't really matter

Use your 2-1 coupon at the Cravings Buffet at the Mirage. Out standing food and service, and, unlimited champagne for $26(plus tax and tip) for 2 people on Sat or Sun. They even gave us champagne go cups (full) in the 12oz disposable coffee cups with lids

Last-minute recommendation; my absolute fave now is brunch at the Border Grill in Mandalay Bay. Not too pricey and the food is way outstanding; much better than you'd get at any buffet (it's an "all-you-can-eat", but you order off of a menu). I always eat too much. $5 add-on for all-you-can-drink Mimosas (traditional, mango, and some other juice). A "must-do" for us on our upcoming NFR trip...

One proposals for the new tax law is to restrict itemized deductions for high income taxpayers.
Presently, gambling losses are deductible as itemized deductions to the extent of gambling wins. I am concerned that if this change is made, taxpayers will be forced to pay taxes on all wins without being able to deduct the corresponding losses. For example, if a taxpayer has $100,000.00 in W-2 G's in a given year, taxes may be owed on the $100,000.00 at 40%, or $40,000.00, even though the taxpayer may have a net gambling loss for the year.
Will this change kill high limit video poker and slot machine play? It certainly will for me!
Of course, this change will only affect the non professional gambler so people like Jean Scott or Bob Dancer will not be affected.
Does anyone have thoughts on this matter?

Using the session method will significantly reduce the amount of winning reported on Form 1040. It won't eliminate the problem but will minimize the impact. Searching the archive should produce a number of posts on this topic. I have been using this method for years and have never had a problem. I do provide the IRS with a spreadsheet of W-2G's and detailed win-loss results for each session.

Joel:
Thx for your input. Using the session method certainly helps. However, there is something wrong with having to pay income tax where there was $ 0 income. If one quits VP and sticks to table games, then there would be no W-2G's and hence no income tax due on phantom income.
