| - Really, I'm not one for hyperbole, but believe the hype. Caesars' Bacchanal Buffet is THE BEST BUFFET IN VEGAS (and perhaps the world based on the United Nations of diners eating or queued up in line waiting to get in)! After our aborted attempt to have our Thanksgiving dinner at Bacchanal Buffet, my parents, the gf and I went there for brunch on a Friday late-morning/early afternoon. The line to get in was very long, but moved reasonably fast and we were seated after a 40-minute wait. Since it was a holiday weekend, diners were limited to two hour stay...not that I could eat for two hours without bursting a la Mr. Creosote in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.
The dining room is modern, bright, but not as large as you'd expect. The dominant, and most important, features are the long, multi-station buffet line that runs along the exterior and the dessert buffet station in the center of the dining room. What makes Bacchanal Buffet stand out is that the quality and execution of food on the buffet line is amazingly high especially when you consider the sheer volume of food being prepared. The ingredients are exceedingly fresh and incorporated into items that are made fresh daily, if not continually. While you certainly pay a price ($44 for brunch, $50 for dinner), Bacchanal Buffet doesn't cut corners in terms of diversity of selection and gross quantity on the its buffet line. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RESDUcs7fIiihp38-d6_6g?select=XF8wOzssRcIpzTJkOIa5fQ#ewLgq_cCjrvvVHePLFtF8g http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RESDUcs7fIiihp38-d6_6g?select=XF8wOzssRcIpzTJkOIa5fQ#O3vEnr2Kj_GXz0BlOpYOmg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RESDUcs7fIiihp38-d6_6g?select=XF8wOzssRcIpzTJkOIa5fQ#4c_IwHr_y8XjodmKWJ41HA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RESDUcs7fIiihp38-d6_6g?select=XF8wOzssRcIpzTJkOIa5fQ#RZ7vhOqOXm6qqhc9qiS2_A http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RESDUcs7fIiihp38-d6_6g?select=XF8wOzssRcIpzTJkOIa5fQ#J91YSDvd5u6qEGdnwDbjZw Since we were there before 1 pm, the buffet offered breakfast items such as made-to-order omelets and crepes. I passed on breakfast and sampled liberally from the Asian, Italian, Mexican, and seafood selections. Dim sum? Check! Sushi? Check! Pho, ramen, or udon? Check, check, and Check! Charcuterie and cheeses? Check! Grilled and roasted meats? Check! Food highlights: the Posole Rojo, which was nicely seasoned spicy; the Machaca con Salsa; the meaty Alaskan King Crab Legs warmed upon request; the chilled, peeled shrimp; Sticky Rice wrapped in a lotus leaf; and what appeared to be a very tasty interpretation of Xiao Long Bao, a broth-filled dumpling.
The Bacchanal Buffet epitomizes American (and Vegas) excess...in a good way. While I certainly won't confuse it with a fine dining experience, the food is better than the majority of restaurants on the Strip. Is it too much of a good thing? Probably, but what goes in your belly in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
