| - They say this buffet is rated 'the best buffet in Las Vegas'.
How shyte do the other buffets have to be, if this was the winner.
Dont get me wrong, they get top points for range, cleanliness, great table spacing (not all crammed together) and rate of turn over to get people seated and presentation...but the deciding factor, the food was crap.
We do appreciate that is more of an American cultural thing that food isn't as heavily flavored - we're lived and traveled all over the world and American food is generally famous for its blandness. But HOW can you have a buffet with foreign food and make that bland too?
We tried a breakfast and a lunch buffet - we wanted to give the buffet the benefit of the doubt and try it again to make sure it wasn't as bad as the first day - and it was. 80% of what we took, we ended up not eating.
Kudos does go to the dessert section, the Mexican section and the fresh roasts. The rest was pretty below edible.
We had fried shrimp that was still FROZEN in the middle, and tasted like dirty grease on the outside (unfortunately dirty grease was as far as any flavour went), Asian fried rice whose rice was only about 1/3 cooked, stir frys with no flavor, Mediterranean food that would make the Mediterranean's weep with sorrow, fish that had a similar textural consistency to bathroom grout..and the same taste I assume too, and vegetables that you wonder how long they sat in the truck in the desert before they made it to the table.
Tell me I'm up myself...I don't care. But when you're paying $45+ for 2 people to eat international food, you expect at least some of it to be edible. All I can say is that we had a buffet at the Silver Legacy in Reno that ran rings around this place... RENO people. What does that have to say about this place?
Save your $$ and go to Starbucks.... at least you can trust that Starbucks will taste like something...
