| - When you're in Vegas, you have to do at least one buffet. My favorite buffet is still Bacchanel Buffet at Caesar's Palace. I've lined the long but fast moving lines here once for dinner and this trip for lunch.
The lunch selection is vast, with salads, Italian station, craving station, ethnic foods, such as Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, comfort foods, desserts of course, and everything ranging from hot to cold foods. There's a little bit of something for everyone. Our vegetarian friend had more of a food selection here and at buffets in general compared to other food venues in Vegas.
I've tried a little bit of everything and some of the selections are good, and some are mediocre, but none are that great. I also tend to gravitate towards the ethnic foods and I have to say, the dumplings with the chili oil is pretty descent. The poke is descent but nothing similar if you've had a good bowl of this Hawaiian style raw fish salad. The marinated short ribs were descent as well but I think they could have done a better job with the flavors. It's sad to waste such a good piece of meat. And I did like the smoked salmon as it was perfect with capers, horseradish, and whole grain mustard.
I actually enjoyed the desserts more this time and some of my favorites included the guava panna cotta and mango tapioca. I tend to also try the more exotic desserts. So always make room for dessert! I left with a candy apple, as I've been eyeing it all day. Let's just say the dyed candy red left my teeth and lips red with its artificial dye and I regret eating it. No more candy apples, but good desserts.
