Tailgating in Bangor Maine for the show on August 18???
There’s no motorhome-type tailgate party in Vegas, but usually the pool at the Flamingo Hilton has a good scene and sometimes there’s a party to the side of Margaritavillle.
Where will the Tail Gate Party be held in Vegas for his Oct 15th Show?
We’ve heard that for other venues – in particular at Irvine Meadows in CA – but there’s always a full-on Buffett tailgate party.
I heard rumor tail gating won’t be allowed at Tinley Park for the Buffet Show. Is this true or not?
