| - Yup, pretty amazing, but for 35 bucks it had better be outstanding. Highlights: amazing salad bar, the duck cold cuts and Octopus crevache with fresh baked bread and a slice of cheese? I could have left happy there.
Rustic lapin with noodles at the Italian section. The pumpkin ravioli was also nice. No chicken: substitute Cornish game hens for 'class' factor I suppose?
Despite being rare, thought the prime rib surprisingly flavourless. Excellent marinated flank stakes though - and this buffet is heavy on lamb. All of the lamb was cooked to perfection, which is impressive as I think lamb is pretty unforgiving on a buffet line. Lamb T-Bone in white bean reduction was a highlight - so good I had a second!
Didn't think much of the crab, and the Bellagio's sushi bar has it ALL over this paltry choice. But the shrimp cocktails were great.
Dessert: again, think the Bellagio edges it out here, but ample choices. Caramel banana pie with dark chocolate - terrifically subtle. Excellent bread pudding, which while a Vegas buffet staple, you can seperate the boys from the men by the bread puddings. Did not try gelato.
All in all, you get your money's worth. The foodie choices here are better than most of the Las Vegas buffet staples, though not as edgy as things available at Bellagio.
