| - Buffet Review only for Black Friday pigs by a pig!
For all you pigs out there (like me), you can pig out and get another huge meal the day after Thanksgiving. Imagine turkey with all the trimmings plus more for $9.99 for lunch, but we got it for $6.99. So how did we manage that? We started eating breakfast at 10:20. We got eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sausage with fruit. We then had cheese blintzes topped with blueberries, cherries, and whipped cream.
At 10:45, they started putting out the lunch buffet stuff. This little piggy (me) went back for more. Surprisingly, there were some healthy choices. I opted for a lage spoonful each of of low cal cabbage slaw, collard greens, potatoes made several different ways (I skipped fried), dirty rice, fried chicken breast, bacon mac and cheese and lots of fresh fruit. Also, I had a mini one bite red velvet cupcake and mini eclair. Verdict? Very good overall for a buffet. The fried chicken was my least favorite item as it reminded me of Alberton's Fried Chicken - not bad, greasy, but just okay. The rest of the stuff was overall better than most buffet food.
There are plenty of unhealhty coices, just for the record. There was roast beef and ham cut to order besides the turkey breast, pulled pork beef brisket grilled pork chops, several fish and shrimp dishes, several pasta (Fettucine Alfredo) There's a decent Mexican, BBQ, Chinese, and American food and plenty of desserts and ice cream bar, along with their salad and soup bar.
And my picture taking spree took the chef by surprise and told me their policy is no picture taking of the buffets. Why I wonder, it's definitely more photogenic and cleaner here than most buffets on the strip. "OK" I told him. And it would be publicity for this place. So please check out my photos before I get arrested.
My main comment about the casino is that the air filtration system iks top notch. There are lots of smokers, but when you leave there, you won't feel like second hand smoke is killing you like most older casinos. Lots of winners, but even more losers, like any other casino. Aliante is very clean and new, and very safe. There are motion detection cameras every 15 feet or so, and lots of security officers walking around checking everyone out.
