| - 3.5 not a 4, but better than 3 :)
I have only been to the Horseshoe Buffet twice, once for lunch once for dinner. First time I was treated to a weekday lunch. I was pleasantly surprise at the buffets scale (this ain't no China Buffet here!) I have never been to Vegas or any other casino buffet so I have no baseline for comparison, but trust me, its pretty long !! Actually a bit too long for its own good as both times I sat at one extreme end, and its a hike to walk the length. This might not necessarily be a bad thing as you can eat, AND walk it off all in one trip :) The lunch selection is supposed to be less than the dinner, I didn't even notice, it was overwhelming both times. The lunch is far less expensive than a dinner @$24. we went around 7:30-8 pm on Sat night. We were seated right away, but not before being snapped at by the buffet police who I suppose was directing traffic in the hallway? There are two lines, one apparently is for "through traffic" the other is for the buffet wait line until they can seat you. Come on people, even the BMV has a sign so you know where to stand (or not stand) put one up, and I'll stand there.
The food selection is gut busting, you'll need to walk the line a couple of times to evaluate what you want more ....the prime rib, or turkey with gravy and stuffing ...I had the prime rib ....very good with excellent selection of temperature (done-ness) I like my meat slightly red and it was dead on perfect. There were some ends, and I sure wish I could have sank my teeth in those, but too salty for me but . I also had some shrimp, with fried rice and chicken, very good. The other half said the beans were good (she's a bean critic) other than that, I didn't hear much from her aside from one slight comment, "if this thing had sushi, it would be perfect" And I agree, but of course it would have to be good sushi !!
There are MANY selections, from salads to Asian, from pizza to ice-cream ... and the overall experience was nice,a bit much for a buffet ( based on dinner cost) the food overall was good but not as hot as I would have liked it . I'm not sure if it was the due to the travel time to walk the full length of the line, or low temp of the food to begin with ?
Parking is the downtown killer for me though ...we lucked out and found a street spot, but if I had to pay $25 to park, I doubt if I would go back. I'm not gambler so getting parking perks is out. I can't understand how hard cities work to get you to come into the city, then make it as hard and expesive to park when you actually go there?? !!
After the power-chow we walked around a bit to look at the casino. Its dressed up real nice for the holidays and is very clean and most employees are friendly and helpful. We strolled into the high-roller wing just in time to see a guy pushing hundreds into the $100 a pull slot machine !! 100 ...200....300....as his VERY angry wife looked on while loudly voicing her disdain for him. We hung around long enough to see a few more hundred slip through his fingers almost like they were evaporating. (he left shortly afterward)
NO KIDS ...its a CASINO
