| - For buffets in Vegas, Le Village could use a little improvement, but offers enough for me to want to go back.
The food itself wasn't too crazy. Le Village doesn't really go the "international" route. All the items have more of a European touch to it or some sort of preparation that seems more "French." Marinated artichoke hearts, French onion soup, caprese, and stuffed soles are few of the standout for me. There's a carving station serving prime rib and roast beef. The prime rib was pure awesomeness with the middle still pink and I went crazy on the delicious au jus. it's probably the best item in the whole buffet. There's grilled chicken and a apple grilled pork chop that may be a little dry. There's also Bourguignonne sauce for your meat, which is a mushroom based sauce.
Since I went for the brunch, a significant part of it was dedicated to breakfast items: eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes, and French toast. Fairly typical. The tiny thick Belgian waffles though, are great. I usually don't expect buffets to do waffles well, but it's fluffy on the inside and they have hot maple syrup ready.
There's a crepe station, but... skip it, unless you want to get a sugar overload? The fillings are the typical sweetened fruit fillings that is super sweet. But right next to the crepe station though are these pecan sticky buns. If you're a fan of sweet, sticky, nutty goodness, then that's for you!
I barely touched the seafood section since we were seated near there and when I saw them refill the area, it made me to not want it since it's all out of boxes in plastic bags. At least do a better job of presenting/preparing it :P
Dessert selections could use a little help but I do like how they serve chocolate dipped ice cream cones for the soft serve machines. There's macaroons but the filling is just jam, which is a little disappointing.
The weekend brunch price for around $30 is the Champagne brunch, which is great if you like bubbly but price is horrible if you want just want a meal. Take advantage of the unlimited champagne!
The decor is pretty unique for a buffet since they try to make you feel like you are eating at the courtyard of a village. However, it's dimly lit in some areas so it feels a little... old.
Service... is a little inconsistent. Our first waitress was slow and looked like she couldn't wait to get out of there. We eventually flagged down another waitress and she was great, and helped us throughout the meal.
All in all, Le Village isn't bad and $30 for unlimited champagne brunch is a fair price for Vegas buffets. If they paid a little more attention to detail, then it would be a much more enjoyable meal. Little things like soup could've been hotter, ice cream rather than soft serve, or even having a staff that actually cares about cleanliness. Saw a cook refilling the soup and the water boiler overflowed after the pot was dropped it and she didn't bother wiping the station, even if it is only water.
