| - After deciding this would be my 1 buffet experience in Vegas, I determined I should go right before my drive home, since I'd likely be in a food-induced coma and unable to move for a few hours and take any touristy Vegas pictures without looking 8 months pregnant. Good decision? Yes.
We got there at 3:45 - the buffet opens at 4, and there was already a line. Luckily it moved fairly quickly, although it was pure torture to watch others digging into the mounds and mounds of cholesterolly goodness. Of course we copied everybody else and went straight for the crab legs, intent on filling ourselves up on these along with the other most expensive items in order to get our $ worth. Seriously, why pay $40 to eat rice or salad? WASTE OF STOMACH SPACE!! Well, the crab legs were delicious as expected, but honestly i ate a lot less than originally anticipated, bc they're a lot more time consuming to eat than the other dishes. We got coupons from some street guy for fresh steamed lobsters, which made up for about half the buffet cost in themselves. Other than that, they had these AMAZING things called 'lobster slipper tails' that sort of look and taste like jumbo shrimp, but with a hint of lobster. Accompanied by approximately 5 gallons of hot melted butter, I couldn't think of a better way to end my trip to Vegas! The dessert bar looked good, and the gelato was fair, but I only partook of them in moderation, since I actually had to drive home, instead of my boyfriend who could just sit in the passenger seat in a half-dazed state and b*tch about feeling morbidly obese for 3.5 hours.
Overall, I would definitely return w/ family or close friends, or a long term boyfriend, but not with anybody you're worried about making a good impression on. We were there for about 2 hours and spent about 1/3 of that time getting food, and 2/3 stuffing our pieholes. Probably not the most romantic meal possible, but ehh..
