| - 4 stars for the Spice Market Buffet. I'm being slightly generous but these 4 stars make sense in context of the fact that we're talking about a Las Vegas Buffet. I'm not even comparing this place with Picasso across the street or any "honest" restaurant, for that matter. When one accounts for the fact, though, that this is an all-you-can-eat buffet, Spice Market Buffet should evidently get 4 stars.
Other reviewers have already mentioned this: They have a wide variety of different cuisines: Seafood, Salads, Italian, American, Asian, Middle Eastern, Mexican, and Desserts. This means you can get sushi to start with, then load up egg benedicts, then switch over and get a bagel with lox and cream cheese, then get a quesadilla or some pasta, and finish it up with a couple of desserts. We didn't get an opportunity to try nearly that many foods here, but this is just to illustrate the variety of foods that they serve.
I started with their lox and cream cheese, incidentally. The salmon was really extremely good. I also tasted their egg benedict and their crab benedict, and I gotta say the egg benedict was quite good. The crab one... only so so. Their lobster pasta was *SERIOUS* disappointment, as was their sushi. Let's just say that I didn't even touch the sushi: my wife got it for me as she knows I love it, but just eyeing the fish, I knew it was probably not even close to fresh and didn't really feel like spending my Vegas weekend puking, so I left it. The sausage pizza was cooked with a wine-based sauce and was way tastey! Finally, their dessert selection was astounding. I had the tiramisu and it really was quite a treat!
$20 a head for sunday brunch... It's pricey, but then again you're gonna eat a lot of different foods and lots of it, so that'll basically be your one meal for the day. Price-wise, I guess it's worth it.
As far as decor is concerned, it's quite tragic. I think I've felt more warmth kickin' it at the Ritz Carlton men's restrooms than I did in this place. It's open seats, very ugly booths... just tragic decoration.
Also, watch out for serious white trash contingency here. This couple took our table and switched receipts because they apparently weren't pleased with where they'd been placed by the hostess. Puzzled, I asked the guy who looked worse than a bulldog if he might have mistakenly sat at the wrong table. He sorta grunted and went back to sucking his food out of his plate. The guy looked so grungy and smelly I frankly wasn't gonna argue. Probably sitting back in that chair I'd have caught some nasty disease. Anyway, that was a bit of a downer on our brunch since both my wife and I felt slightly freaked out at this episode. We tried to sit as far away from them as we could but, sadly, it wasn't far enough. So yeah, watch out for the white trash that seems to hang out here. Then again, most of the other patrons looked normal enough. Still, looks can be deceiving.
