Be a little naughty and go to Bally's Sterling Buffet. I did this many many years ago when the price was about $25pp...it is now $60++. Drink champagne and eat lobster.
Here's some reviews I found...I'm sure you'll find many more when you begin googling.

THAT looks fabulous!
I've just sent the link out to our crowd.
When did Vegas get so expensive?
$80 for a limo from the airport.
$80 for a limo to the start of the race.
$125 pp++ dinner on Friday night at Cafe Martorano.
$200+ off strip Westin hotel.

Have a VERY good run, GoT! If it were me, I'd splurge at any place in the Bellagio, preferably the buffet. I have never been to Bally's, but that looks fabulous too! Do you have time to scope out the floor plans of the buffets at least a day in advance? IMHO, I'd want a buffet that's not sprawled all over the room (like the one at the Mirage). After 26 miles, all I want to do is shuffle!
How far is the Westin from all this? The next thing I want to do after the eating, is take a looong nap!

I'm not sure Melissa.
Now brunch is up in the air.
Ugh! This is turning into a PIA.
Don't know how long the after race party will last. We'll all be sore and it will still be early because the race starts at 6AM.
What will probably end up happening is we'll all get drunk after the race and be plastered by noon (after race areas usually serve beer). We'll be passed out cold by 2PM and then wake up at 8PM raring to go and starving.

Oh, my! Actually at the HNL Marathon, there's no beer at the finish area. There IS beer along Kahala Avenue as you are running, but that's it!
I looked again at the Sterling Brunch site. The last seating is at 1:30 p.m. Assuming you finish by 11 a.m., would you get cleaned up before going to brunch? (I would, esp. because I'm covered in salt.) You'd have to leave the finish area immediately, shower, then run over to Bally's for brunch to make the last seating. Just playing devil's advocate here as far as timing goes. I know other buffets go constantly and simply turn the servings from brunch to dinner.
p.s. Don't forget to get some carbs into you within 60 minutes of finishing!

If you want to save a little money and are very hungry, I think the Rio Buffet looks like someone took the worlds largest mall food court and just openned it up for grabs....Pizza, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Barbecue --- you name it --they got it. I think it is also under $25. /person. oh - I see I am a little late -- Congrats on Spago.
