Decided to have dinner here around 8:00. My general rule is that I like to try the buffet at the hotels I stay at in Vegas. The line is ridiculous. First you wait forever to pay in one line. Then after you pay you get shuffled into another line to actually get into the buffet. There are two lines; one for groups with 1-4 people and the other for groups of 5 or more. there does not seem be any real method of deciding who gets seated next. Once I moved a little up the line bit by bit I could see inside the dining room and I was pissed when I saw a ton of empty tables some cleared off and some not yet here we stand in this line and nobody is being seated. For the length of both lines they needed to clear off those dirty tables much quicker. As far as the ones that were ready is concerned I don't know why people weren't being in them faster. I have eaten at my share of Vegas buffets and I have never experienced such a ridiculous system and wait.
I prayed that the food was worth the wait here. I needed something to justify it and unfortunately it was not worth it at all. The caramel cheesecake they had for dessert was the only thing really worth it. Some of the other desserts were good too but that was the best. They had basic buffet foods and none of it was that great. The bread was hard and the pastas were not great. The pizza and salad looked unappetizing. The meat at the carving station was disappointing. The crab legs were gross. The crab meat had a funny taste and it was tough.
Another thing that annoyed me was you don't get your own drinks. A server brings them. When I was finally seated after that wait I was out of patience and starving. They told me someone named Miguel would serve me my drink and then I can get my food so I sit and wait. Nobody shows up. Then I see him and he is essentially ignoring me. Then another server came and finally took my drink order and then she disappeared. No drink. After waiting I say screw it and go get my first plate of food. I come back and still no drink. The Miguel finally shows up and takes my drink order. I gave him my order because I assumed that lady forgot me. When he finally got to me he was quick and brought my drink right away. When I was working on my second she finally brings my drink and has the nerve to look stunned that I had another drink?! She didn't really think I would wait that long for a drink did she? Honestly after the long line to get in I did not have the patience to wait forever for a damn drink. Other buffets I have gone that don;t have self serve drinks They take the order right away and bring it to you right after. Personally though I think since a buffet you serve yourself food you should with drinks as well. One plus was they cleared your finished plates quickly. No issues with that dirty plates piling up on the table. I guess they just took a while to get tables ready after the fact but during was not a problem.
So the summation: long line to pay, another long line to get in, poor selection, poor food, long wait for drinks, good desserts, and quick clean-up. So one star for the desserts and one for the quick cleanup. The bad outweighs the good for sure and I won't be back.
