| - As you read reviews of Bacchanal you will see everything from a 1 rating to a 5 and you may wonder what that is about. Let me try to explain. Some people have an expectation that everything must be absolutely perfect and if it isn't, they will find things to bring their rating to a 1. Others don't have much to compare it to and think it is the best and give it a 5. Then you have a whole bunch of the rest of us right in the middle. Those of us that may have been to lots of buffets and brunches, like we have, and really know what we are talking about. The Bacchanal is one of the best in Las Vegas, for a high end buffet, but it is not perfect. I say for a high end buffet because you have to compare it to others that are in approximately the same price range. Don't compare it to something like Circus Circus because they are in a different category.
We dined here on a Sunday at around 11:00 a.m. and the wait was only about 10 min. but it can be very long at prime times. They do have terminals in front that will tell you approximately how long the wait will be and you can enter your cell number at that time for a reservation and you will be called when you are able to get in. That way you can wander around or gamble in the casino instead of standing in a line. Nice feature.
The room is very nice and spread out so you don't feel crowded together. The food areas for the most part are also spread out. With one exception and this is a complaint we have with many buffets. The carving station is placed right in the middle of a line of food which means that lines of people form and block other items of food that are then hard to get at. Especially if you don't want anything from the carving station. Sometimes the same is true of an omelet station. It seems like places would figure it out when they decide to put in a carving or omelet station.
There is a very wide selection of food here so that everyone should be able to find something they like. Large shrimp and cracked crab legs are plentiful. Many areas with different types of food. The dessert area is set in the middle of the room by itself and has many many assorted cookies, cakes, pastries, ice cream, crepe and shave ice.
The overall quality of the food is excellent and not filler food. BUT.....almost all of the hot food items were just warm to almost room temp. at best! Maybe it was just at the time we were there. Most of the items are served in smaller portions on plates or in bowls so there aren't many large inserts of foods. Perhaps this is why the foods aren't hot? You are given a finger protector for hot plates,when you pay, but you certainly don't need them. If the food had been hot, I would probably have given this a 5 instead of a 4.
If you don't mind paying for a higher end buffet, other than the few things I mentioned in my review, you won't be disappointed. All of the service we had was also very good. Don't be unkind or demanding and you will always get the good service. Don't forget to tip! Even though the people that bring your drinks and take away all your dirty plates don't bring you your food, but they still work hard cleaning up your mess. They deserve to be tipped.
There is a sign when you first come in telling you not to pick up and eat food at the serving areas but there will always be slobs, and I use that term loosely, that don't care and will stand there while they eat. Just can't wait to get back to their tables and they will often spill things on the floor and make a mess. We all see that kind of thing! Why not show a little class instead of acting like a pig?
