| - To be quite honest, this buffet was just okay to me and didn't really seem to be worth the $105 per person price. Online reservations are only available for 3 months in advance, but my bf was able to make a reservation a couple days prior through his Amex concierge service. We were both pretty excited to come here especially after watching the video on Buzzfeed and reading the great reviews this place has. We were checked in and seated right at the time of our reservation and champagne was poured into our glasses -- it was free flowing bottomless champagne which was nice but I was pretty hungover from the previous day so I didn't really care for it.
This buffet serves premium items such as unlimited lobster tails, Alaskan king crab legs, jumbo cocktail shrimps, caviar, blue point oysters, filet mignon, lamb chops, prime rib, etc. The first thing I went for were the lobster tails and king crab legs. I was super excited for the lobster tails but it ended up being a disappointment because the meat was super mushy and rubbery and jut did not taste good at all. The king crab legs were good though so I would recommend eating more of that than the lobster tails. The lobster bisque soup was alright -- not too salty like most places. The filet mignon and prime rib were both good as well. The biscuits & gravy and truffle mashed potatoes were both pretty good. They also had a omelette station that everyone lined up for and you can choose the toppings you want in it. I had mine made with lobster and cognac and the chef added some herb cheese to the center as well. The sushi looked old and nasty like the ones at those $15 Chinese buffets back home so I didn't touch that.
They have a separate dessert bar with a pretty looking display of desserts that were not bad, but they don't have ice cream. They also have a Bloody Mary bar as well.
Overall, it was a good experience to be able to go to this "premium" buffet on the strip, but I don't think I would be returning. There isn't as much of a selection of food compared to the other buffets on the strip & the premium items such as the lobster tails were not that great. I would recommend going just for the experience -- the service here is extremely good as well, but other than that, I don't think I would ever want to pay $105 for this brunch again. Our bill came out to be well over $200 for 2 people after tax and tip.
