The Silverton is a nice casino with a lot good machines. However, be aware that not only is the buffet pricey, there are also some nights to just avoid it, specifically the Hawaiian Luau night. I made the mistake of paying full price and found the food less than decent. The pig was overcooked and everything else was 2nd rate. I did have my buy one get one free coupon but since I was alone, they wouldn't give me 1/2 price (the logical and accepted norm). Instead they sent me to the players club where I found 100 people in line trying to redeem a free play for locals coupon. I gave up and paid the full price. The cookies were good!
