| - Ok, stopped here twice. Once for lunch, once for breakfast.
Lunch on Saturday - The signs all over the casino advertised an $8.99 buffet. So I walked up and figured I'd try it. First problem - It's only $8.99 if you're a member of the "Connect Players Club", the free in-house gambling loyalty program. If I wanted the $8.99 price I would have to wander off somewhere else in the Casino over to member services or something and sign up for the free loyalty program. I wasn't about to go figure that out (we were staying here on a rock climbing trip - not a gambling trip). So I paid full price, which was almost $15.
For the price, the buffet wasn't that great. Decent amount of choices for lunch type foods. But it was basically just the same as Old Country Buffet. This was not one of those fabled amazing cheap, amazing tasting Vegas buffets of mystery and legend.
On the other hand, everything was rotated in and out quickly so it was always fresh. Everything I tried (Pizza, Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Veggies, Baked Chicken) was all pretty good. The soda and drinks are not self serve, but the waitress was very quick and friendly and kept us topped up. Overall for lunch I would have given three stars.
Now on Sunday, I'm subtracting a star. Again there were signs all over for a breakfast buffet. $8.99. This time I noticed the asterisk. I figured that was the loyalty card price. Three of us went downstairs anyway, expecting to pay a little more than that since we didn't have the cards, but not much more. I mean it was breakfast after all. So we get down there and are informed that because it's Sunday, there is no breakfast buffet. It's "Champions Brunch" and it's $24.99. Yikes. No way. Based on the food we already tried, there wasn't anything at all that could be good enough to be worth that.
We went to Subway instead and were perfectly happy with breakfast sandwiches.
