| - This is hands down one of the worst buffets on the Strip. The only redeeming qualities of this buffet are the cheap price and the small miracle that neither of us suffered food poisoning afterwards. Oftentimes you get what you pay for, but this is still an abysmal value when the food is this bad. Both my wife and I agree that we wouldn't come back even if it was completely free. In fact, you couldn't even pay us to eat here again.
The astute reader may ask that as LV locals we should have known better. Yes, we certainly did, BUT my cousin was visiting and insisted on going here, at least in part because her 18 month old is a picky eater. She was certain that this buffet would have kid-friendly foods that her child would be willing to eat. Having read the lousy reviews about this place but not actually experienced it for ourselves, with great trepidation, we agreed to meet them there, hoping it wouldn't be quite as bad as reported. Unfortunate for us, our hopeful optimism turned to despair when the reality unfolded before our eyes and tastebuds.
For about 45 minutes, we endured the throngs of adults and screaming children waiting to get in. This many people can't be wrong, right? Oh yes, they certainly can and so very, very wrong at that. We were seated close to one of the three buffet lines, but it was all downhill from there. For a buffet that caters to families with small children, you would not believe the near Herculean effort it took to obtain a simple high chair! Finally we get in the first buffet line and are presented with a VERY limited selection of unappetizing items. Please refer to my wife's (Candace C) or others' reviews if you really need the gory details. I am having PTSD just thinking about it. Hey, maybe we'll have better luck with the other two buffet lines. Our collective jaws drop when we realize that all three lines are serving the same food! Maybe the salad and dessert lines will be half decent. No such luck. To add insult to injury, our used plates of barely eaten food continued to accumulate and remain uncleared on our table. With service like that, it's a good thing that the soft drinks were self-serve. But enough of the horror, it's time to wrap things up.
Now typically when I visit a buffet, self-restraint takes a back seat and like most customers, I like to get my money's worth. This is one of the few buffets where I actually left still hungry. That in a nutshell is the take home message. Sorry coz, I love you, but if you insist on coming here next time, you will be dining without us!
