| - As a Las Vegas local I had been eager to try this new and highly raved about buffet. I met an out-of-town friend for lunch at the buffet yesterday. We met at 12:15 and only waited about 15 minutes in line. Once inside, we didn't have to wait longer than 3 people for anything, so we were very surprised how convenient the lunchtime buffet was. Other reviews indicate that dinner is a different story - so I recommend going for lunch! No, you won't get crab legs at lunch, but if that isn't important to you, then go for lunch! I don't think anyone can eat everything here, so I will only speak to the things we ate. The lunch buffet with tax was $32. Honestly, most people will probably spend $20 to $30 on lunch anywhere on the Strip, so it's not an entirely bad deal. The service was excellent and our drinks never went below half empty. Here's my food comments. Things I loved: the sushi was surprisingly good though the soy sauce had too much sodium. The cooked meats were killer good - including the brisket and ribs, cut to order. Excellent sweet cornbread. The shrimp on ice and seafood paella was good. The mac-n-cheese was not your standard mac-n-cheese and really awesome! The tacos are made to order - you just tell them the meat and he grills it up and makes it for you. NOW FOR THE DESSERT. SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! The bread pudding was excellent - espcially with a hot cup of coffee after lunch!
It says there is a 2-hour maximum. We stayed longer and nobody said anything. But it also wasn't very busy and we were just chatting mostly - and not consuming ravenous amounts of food. As we were leaving at 3:15pm, we noticed that the crab legs were being served. Again, not my thing - but if they come out for "dinner" at 3:00pm, you might be wise to eat around 3-4pm to avoid long lines.
I will definitely return for the lunch buffet. Probably not for the dinner buffet - because I can't eat $50 worth of food. It's a very good buffet experience that you should try at least once!
