I really pity those reviewers who thought The Bistro Buffet at the Palms was good. In my 18 years in Las Vegas the Thursday afternoon lunch buffet was without a doubt the worst I ever had anywhere. The tri-tip at the carving station looked good but was very tough. The salmon fillet was totally dry. The crab cake evidenced no visible crabmeat. The pork I had was more than 50% fat & grizzle. Even the desserts were awful. There were just two pieces of pie out for grabs - a cream & a cherry. Both looked dried out. Every other buffet I've gone to at local casinos recently had homemade ice-cream & sorbet. This had a sad soft-freeze machine. BEWARE BROTHER, BEWARE!
