| - I've been reading the numerous 5 star reviews for this buffet for the past several weeks. Most of those high reviews being written by non-residents should have been a clue. After weeks of anticipation, I finally tried it for dinner today. Talk about a huge disappointment! Maybe tonight was just an off night, but with the hefty price, I won't bother coming back anytime soon to see if today was just a fluke.
First off, I knew of the high price, so that was no problem. I had no qualms about paying for what I expected to be an excellent dining experience. The line may not look too bad, but it moves very slowly. Then after you pay, there's another slow moving line to get seated. (If you're not in the Express line, or a Diamond/Platinum Total Rewards member, expect a long wait during peak times). For dinner, it took an hour and fifteen mins from entering the line to finally being seated. Ambiance and decor were nice inside, but it's all about the food right? (Also, a lot of the walkways between tables are narrow. Just an FYI in case you're larger sized, you may want to request being seated along the edges).
Service was pretty good, drinks refilled and server was very much on top of clearing plates away. It was one of the few highlights of the meal.
Again, maybe tonight was an off night, but everything I tried was so dry and tough or had little flavor. The lamb was not juicy at all, the brisket was so overcooked and dry to the point of being inedible. I took a bite and unfortunately had to leave it unfinished on my plate. Also tried halibut with herbs and fennel, but it was strangely completely flavorless. Tried the wagyu beef slider, but instead of being moist and juicy it was overcooked and dry. The first batch of Korean kalbi short ribs were actually decent, but my second helping was completely chewy and the marinade tasted different than the first time. Many items looked dry and unappetizing. It made it difficult to find items to fill up my plate. Was hoping to try lobster bisque, but only found lobster corn chowder that did not have any lobster to be found. It made up for it in the amount of corn though and was disgustingly sweet that I also had to leave unfinished.
Dessert...walked around the area to scope everything out first before diving in. Everything looked pretty but few items jumped out enough to make you want to eat them. Nothing terrible to say about the desserts, but nothing memorable at all either.
Very disappointing. With the 500+ items this buffet touts, I was expecting more. The selection didn't seem anywhere near what this buffet claims. There's nothing worth noting at the buffet that I found to be mouth watering or worth going back for seconds. The Bacchanal Buffet does NOT deserve its current reputation as the best buffet in Las Vegas.
