| - this is hands down the best buffet that i've ever been to. yes, it is expensive, and no, you probably won't eat your money's worth (ok, i'm sure some of you do but i gave it my best effort and failed). the key to enjoying this brunch, is to not think about the price. its like going out to eat dinner at any other of the fancy las vegas restaurants.
service was excellent, they gave you that fine dining atmosphere, but it was a buffet, so you don't feel out of place in your t-shirt and flip flops. we made reservations and i requested to be as close to the buffet as possible. champagne was excellent and the waiter was on point as my glass never dipped below half full.
the food itself was superb. i'm a seafood hound so i was in heaven with cracked and opened snow crab claws, king crab legs, and mobs of whole lobster. now i will say that the lobster is a tad overdone as lobster meat tends not to hold up well in a chafing dish. but it was still excellent. the caviar, that the sushi maker guards with her life, was also excellent. but the best thing i ate had to be the pink peppercorn encrusted lamb chops. i'm not normally a lamb fan, so i tried this at the very end when i was already full, and it blew me away. i was so disappointed i hadn't tried it earlier when i still had real estate available in my stomach.
they also had excellent made to order omelets and pasta which my vegetarian (yeah, totally not getting her money's worth eh?) wife enjoyed. other offerings included fresh pastries, prime rib, bacon, & sausage, jumbo shrimp, oysters, and many other items that i did not get a chance to try as i gorged myself on shell fish. maybe next time...
