Maybe because I haven't had a buffet in awhile, maybe cuz it was a weekday and not weekend & maybe because we went at 1030a and had breakfast and lunch or maybe cuz it was free! But I enjoyed it and don't understand all the negative reviews. Yea it's not the best and not at caesars level but even if I had to pay for 21.99 that's not bad at all. Plus the service was outstanding. Go when it's not hectic right before lunch & enjoy the wide selection.
