| - I've eaten at this buffet when it was still the Aladdin and I remember it was awesome back then. When it changed to Planet Hollywood, I ate here for a family reunion dinner and it was decent, it was better back then. So, we tried it out once more during our most recent adventure to Vegas.
First off, $27.99 per adult for dinner, on a Monday? That's Redonkulous with a capital "R." Thankfully, I'm not complaining much because I got a BOGO coupon so technically, for the s/o and I, it was only $14 each.
The buffet offerings were just okay. Sure, they had crab salad and shrimp cocktail served in martini glasses but don't be fooled by it, it's not better quality, it's called perception. They also had the usual Asian, Italian, American, Mediterranean and Seafood fare. BTW, is it just me or do my fellow Asians act like savages when it comes to Crab Legs? It's not like it's going to run out people, there's more where it came from, geez! The salad bar, which was separated in opposite ends of the buffet had to be the sorriest salad bar I've ever experienced, even my hometown pizza parlor offers more salad toppings than this buffet! But in the end, how can you be mad when they serve up fresh Cotton Candy? Thankfully they put it high enough so the kiddies don't snatch it all up or get their cooties all over them. :)
Overall, if I had paid full price, The Spice Market Buffet would've gotten 2-stars, no doubt. But since I didn't, in my opinion, it was worth 3-stars.
PS - Want a BOGO coupon too? Just check in to Planet Hollywood on FourSquare, show your phone to the Rewards desk located near the bar and they'll give you your coupon. Not sure how long this promo will last though.
