| - I've been here many times and never thought to review it. As far as Vegas buffets go, it's a good one. The price is pretty reasonable when you look at the price places like Bellagio and M are charging. But you get less of the high ticket items at dinner which is the one this review is based on.
Once they let you in, they have an Asian, American, BBQ, Mexican, Italian, dessert and salad items each at different spaces with nice big signs over each (except for the soup and salad bar which should be obvious...) This place is always consistent too. You can always count on the cocktail shrimp, a diminutive selection of sushi, Mexican items that have clearly been under the heat lamp too long, Italian food that has suffered the same fate, two selections of roasted meat that they will cut for you, fried chicken and shrimp, corn on the cob, some type of mashed potatoes, ice cream (low and full sugared). I avoid all the starchy stuff, bread, pasta etc. I also stay away from their dim sum. Go here for the roasted meat, pot roast if you're lucky, fajita chicken, fried chicken (yum!), cocktail shrimp and if you're craving Italian, the meatballs. I don't know why they don't always have spaghetti to go with them, but I won't complain. More room to fit other good things!
The ambience is upscale for a buffet too. Lots of tables. Of course, buffet ettiquette being what it is, be on the lookout for that hundred foot gape on the faces of the crowd. They'll swoop in in front of you or knock you to the floor altogether in their haste to pig out. One couple lingered in front of the shrimp for several minutes, with the wife trying to convince her husband to "just use your hands, just use your hands; they work!" Eww.
Fair warning: The staff are pretty strict here about taking any food from the area and they're not particularly subtle. Doesn't matter if it's one cookie or if you're stuffing shrimp in your pockets. They let everyone know what you did!
