| - Long story short: best buffet I've ever tried.
The boyfriend and I were torn between going here or the Bellagio, but this was closer to our hotel. We were not disappointed. There was a bit of a line, and I was prepared to knock off a star for it.
But no, it was totally worth it. Where to begin?
Big ticket items first. The crab legs were huge and succulent. I really liked that they were cut in half, so you didn't have to fight to get your crab out of the shell. The prime rib was perfectly pink in the center.
I also had lamb osso bucco (sp?), salmon with some sort of carrot sauce, pork pot stickers, and several kinds of mussels. All of them were good.
And... the desserts. They had a nice selection of sugar free cakes and pies, but I went for the calorie laden goodies. Chocolate cake with orange mousse. A couple profiteroles. And a creme brulee better than I expected from a buffet.
Our busser/drink server was very attentive. The boyfriend's Diet Coke was always filled quickly. I ordered a Blackberry Margarita, and they did not hold back on the tequila. She noticed the faces I was making and offered to have the bartender make me another to my liking. That's service, and definitely cemented this review at five stars for me.
We left full and completely satisfied. It was a bit pricey at 35ish (I forget) each for dinner, but worth it. Come hungry!
