| - As far as buffets go in Vegas, who rules the roost? Not Medley Buffet at Aliante, but for those living in the North/Northwest side of town - it will do.
My husband, myself, and my brother trekked here on Christmas Day for dinner. We arrived at about 1:30 PM, which I think was the "sweet spot" because there was only a few others in line ahead of us, and when we were seated, there were no other patrons around us. However, as we got through our meal it got crowded real fast.
This buffet offers the "norm" - meat carving station (props on the very succulent and juicy turkey, probably my fave of everything), and the prime rib was nothing to turn your nose up at. The ham though fell flat and dry. Other "traditional offerings" included stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole.
Other sections of the buffet include: Asian, Mexican, and Desserts. It's not the greatest selection, nor is it the worst.
Aliante has been broken away from Stations Casinos for a couple years, so don't expect to be able to use your Station Card to get a discount here, you have to sign up to Aliante's players club. However, since it was Christmas, the kind cashier charged my family the players club price anyway. Per usual this is a good deal taking about $3-$4 off the norm price.
I was happy to not have to cook or clean dishes after a big meal. Only downside is, we have no leftovers! Oh well.
