| - A few out-of-town friends were staying at GVR so I joined them for breakfast. $6.99 for an all-you-can-eat does sound like a great deal, perhaps even evoking nostalgia of the good ol' days of Vegas (inflation-adjusted, at least).
Here's the problem: Most of the food tastes like it came from the frozen section of the grocery store and was zapped in a microwave. Dry, lacking flavor, and totally uninspired. I guess you get what you pay for.
To boot, the seating process stunk. Half the dining area was empty but there were still huge lines. Also, the seater would pull 2 parties at a time from the general line but then only 1 from each of the hotel guest/Platinum and President/Chairman lines, so those lines were actually far slower. I'm certainly not one for elitism, but if they're going to do it this way, they might as well just have a single line for everybody.
At least when we got seated, the waitress was pretty good about keeping our drinks topped up. For what it is, I think this buffet deserves around a 1.5, so I'm going to round up my review to 2 just because of her.
I remember several years ago when the food here was actually good. They charged more, but at least the food was far better. Frankly, even if I were staying at GVR or lived in the area, I'd rather drive to the Strip and pay $10+ more for a real breakfast buffet that deserves my time.
