| - We have eaten here many, many times over the years. It was once my favorite buffet. Today we arrived at 4:00 PM, just as dinner was starting, so it was crowded. I was using my Las Vegas Advisor 2-for-1 coupon (not a free coupon book-- I paid $37 for the book), and was hoping to also use MLife points to pay for the remainder of the meal-- but they wouldn't let me use both (even though I have over $100 in points for using my new MLife Mastercard). I was ticked, but went ahead and paid my $31.99 for dinner. I wish I wouldn't have bothered.
We usually go for lunch, but thought that there would be more to choose from for dinner-- we were wrong. They did have crab legs, but they were so small that it took too much work to make them worthwhile. They didn't have smoked salmon, which was disappointing as that's one of my favorites and they always have it at lunchtime-- I asked and was told that they don't serve it at dinner. So basically, it was the same food for $8 more. My husband had to hunt to find enough to make a meal out of. The Asian section is really weak. The prime rib was OK. There was absolutely nothing special to justify the price of this buffet. The desserts were nothing spectacular at all-- in fact, a fairly skimpy selection once you eliminate the no-sugar-added stuff. The raspberry sorbet was pretty good, but that was about it for the dessert section. I do love the cappuccino at the end of the meal.
I never thought I would feel so negatively about the Mirage's buffet, but I doubt we'll be going back again for a long time. You have to serve yourself your own beverages, and the beverage section is in a rather inconvenient location. There is no real wait staff to bring you extra napkins or utensils,and they take forever to clear the tables off. Honestly, I haven't felt this disappointed in a buffet in a long, long time. You can go to the Fiesta Henderson and for $7.49 be treated like a king. We went to the Palms last week and had a great buffet for around $10. I know that most people are being held captive on the Strip, but it would be worth the car rental fee to have a car and drive to the outlying casinos to eat. They seem to appreciate the business, and the food is every bit as good, if not better. I have no desire to go back to the Mirage. And I was so disgusted with this whole thing that I did not stop and gamble a cent. We just walked straight out the door. Totally disappointing!!
