| - Buffet located in the Red Rock Casino, one of the more popular places for Las Vegas residents to hang out. In addition to this buffet, they have a bowling alley, movie theater, etc. For dinner or Sunday brunch (with the player's card), it's a low $13.99. Came here with a buddy. Both of us were hungry. Both left satisfied.
Setting: Located within a casino. As such, there are a lot of smokers. As a result, it smells like smoke. I only mention this because a lot of my friends will purposely avoid areas that SIGNIFICANTLY increase your risk of lung (and esophageal, stomach, bladder, renal, etc.) cancer. That aside, you walk to the entrance where, at the time, only one cashier was working. It took about 25 minutes before we ended up reaching the front of the line. One of the major drawbacks to this dining experience was that there were two people working the cash register but only one appeared to be working. There were plenty of open tables so I can't really see how they'd justify not putting both to work. Oh well. The tables are widely spaced. Regardless, it's pretty loud in the dining area. Every table has great access to the food. Individual grade: 3
Waitress: The waitress who sat us down seemed like she hates her job. She responded appropriately with "You're welcome" but never once smiled or made eye contact. Just going through the motions. In stark contrast was the waitress that actually waited our table. She was warm, friendly, and always smiling. Plates were cleared quickly and cups were refilled when they dropped down to about 25% full. Individual grade: 3.5 stars (dropped because of the first apathetic employee)
Food: THERE WAS SO MUCH FOOD! International (Mexican), Asian (Chinese), sushi, BBQ, farmer's market (fruit, cheese, salads, bagels, and breads), and dessert. The sushi was not fresh, nor were they generous with the fish. That could be countered by just taking more pieces. The chinese food was unoriginal (orange chicken, chow mein, egg-drop soup, etc.). Surprisingly, the orange chicken was the best dish. Not too much of the bread coating coupled with moist chicken...Mmmmmm. BBQ had some great roast beef. Medium rare with horseradish!!! The most impressive station had to be the dessert. They had approximately two dozen pies and an assortment of cookies, cakes, and ice cream. HUGE SELECTION! Individual grade: 3.5 stars
Drinks: Champagne served with Sunday brunch. Mimosas were tasty with a minimal amount of pulp. Individual grade: 4 stars.
Recommendation: Definitely try it. Affordable with a large amount of food and great variety.
