| - I really liked this, but we didn't wait in the hour+ long line. It's$50 on the weekend though. The food is good with a nice presentation and the interior is quite different than most buffets - good and bad. There aren't any real walk ways to get from the tables to the food. The food is basically on a long wall that winds away from the dining area, with the Japanese and Chinese food way in the back, and starting from left to right with the raw bar (slowly shucked oysters-few on ice), american food...
It doesn't totally feel like a buffet because of the look of the place. Nice $19M renovation! A modern look but not stark like Aria's buffet. The food, though, can be hard to reach. It sits at waist level and some of the items are set back so far under the sneeze guard that you have to practically kneel down to reach, especially in the Asian section.
There's no fancy ingredients (like at the Bellagio on weekends) but the presentations can be fancy - little pots of chowder and fried chicken in cones with sweet potato fries on the bottom, individual servings of truffled potatoes au gratin, yum! You can get your king crab legs on ice or hot out of the water.
The tacos were pretty good off the griddle. Too bad they are cooking them 3-4 at a time instead of trying to stay ahead of the line. I got mine late and had to stand there for 5 minutes waiting for the two people in front of me. I had to translate the Spanish to the gringo before me so that he knew what he was getting. (High school Spanish only.)
I did really like the carving station which was piled high in bbq pork ribs, lamb chops, prime rib, chicken, sausages, etc. My prime rib was cut from the middle and was a nice medium, juicy, and well seasoned.
