| - I'm not a very picky eater because I don't enjoy cooking. For me, the effort (grocery shopping, cleaning, prepping, chopping, stirring, frying, etc.) and time is not worth it - especially if it doesn't turn out well. I'm so exhausted from my Graveyard Shift job, that sometimes I'll skip a meal because I'd rather sleep. That's why I truly appreciate anything anyone cooks. I understand the work that went into combining ingredients to create a meal.
With this in mind, I especially enjoy Senior Days at the Orleans Casino. It used to be on Tuesdays, but now it is Wednesday. After collecting 50 points on your B Connected Players Card, you earn a free breakfast or lunch buffet. After 100 points, you get a free dinner buffet. I believe I earned both a lunch and a dinner buffet!
I have been to pricier, higher quality buffets like the Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan, but for the price (free), I can find good enough food at the French Market Buffet.
For example - the dessert section... the fluffy cheesecake; and the strawberry torte. I wish the torte's crust was on the lemon meringue pie! I try to eat things that I don't normally make, such as the bread pudding, chocolate cream pie, and the gelato. Those are pretty good. Remember to get a plastic spoon from the dispenser!
The Italian section was okay - there was pizza, pasta, garlic bread, and lasagna. Nothing really outstanding. The pizza crust was on the thicker, softer side.
The BBQ area was interesting with its collard greens, yams, black eyed peas, hush puppies, ribs, and fried okra. I had a well-done rib and enjoyed the crispy edges!
The Asian foods were adequate: spring rolls, Hot & Sour Soup, Egg Drop Soup, crab sushi, and shrimp tempura sushi... The noodles loooked spooky, so I just had one for good luck. Some dishes looked sad and overcooked, like they had been there a while...
The salad bar looked fresh. The fruits (cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon) were relatively sweet. The peel and eat cocktail shrimp moves here at dinnertime so the crawfish can take its place at the Seafood station. Dinner buffet includes Prime Rib at the carving station. Breakfast buffet includes an omelette station.
I skipped over the Mexican section because by that time, I was full. I had a bite of macaroni and cheese for my niece, but it was bland.
The service is quick and efficient. The atmospere is energetic with many people moving here & there. It's like a variety show! The coffee refills are often. Raspberry iced tea is available.
The long line to get in moves well. There are many, many chairs and tables for singles and large groups. It's just a basic buffet for everyone of all age groups to fill up. The variety and value are noteworthy!
