| - Thank you MyVegas for another comp meal!
I vowed never to come back to the MGM Grand Buffet after getting sick a few years ago. But this time I found myself with a comp dinner buffet and no one to have dinner with. I easily got my voucher at the mLife desk and walked over to the buffet. I flashed my Pearl card and was able to by pass the lines. Then came the sad part (1)...I stood in the VIP line next to the group of 6+ or whatever, so everyone could see me alone. The hostess asked me how many people, and I raised one finger. She looked at me confused and then whispered into her microphone. A nice gentlemen came by and took me to my table for four, as the music over the stereo sang, "all by myself....don't want to be...all by myself...anymore" haha. Great comedic timing. Anyway I felt bad taking up a table for four when there were all these other people in line but I trekked on to the buffet line anyway.
There's a ton of salad options and hot foods from BBQ themed to Asian cuisine. None of it was outstanding, a bit bland or over cooked from sitting out too long. There were crab legs in the ice bar section but the steamed ones next to the carving station was better. The rib roast was pretty good. And sadly my favorite was the nachos...I don't know why, nachos just make me happy.
Sad part (2), as I'm walking back from the second lap at the buffet table, I was confused that a family of four was sitting at my spot. I walked around thinking, maybe I got the location wrong, but I wasn't. I finally found my server and he said he thought I was done because I had A plate. I begin questioning myself if I've had too much food already haha, but he finally found me another table after I stood in the center of the dinning room being starred at by multiple families.
To wrap up this story, the desserts weren't very good BUT the three gelato they had were AMAZING. I asked the lady for small scoops of each but she decided to make me a sundae. Oh well...it was all good. No stomach sickness after this trip, but if I were to pay full price for this meal, I would've been pretty disappointed. Spend a few bucks more and go to the Bellagio.
