| - I had not been to this spot before the refurbishment, but it is just OK. We were curious about it as the myVegas game advertised about the re-opening relentlessly. We typically go to the more popular buffet locations at Wynn, Caesar's, Cosmopolitan, and Bellagio, so this was an interesting experience.
We were very surprised with the wait... considering there were probably only 4 or 5 parties in front of us. The queuing didn't seem to work well. It seemed like we were all pushed to use the kiosks but then were stuck in that queue waiting to be seated. There were actually no one in line for the queue to pay with the cashier. We wished we went through the cashier instead so that we could have been seated quicker. They eventually noticed the inefficiency and allowed people to move in the cashier line so that everyone would through and seated quicker. That then caused a back up in the cashier line for people who wanted to pay... it was almost entertaining if it wasn't frustrating. Maybe the whole system would run better if it had been busier and both lines were filled and it didn't feel like there was a "better" option available to line hop to...
Things that I thought were notable: there was a self served beverage island that had a special water dispenser... 3 types flavored water as well as this ultra filtered water that tasted really good. Although there was a made-to-order pasta option... there was this pasta with shrimp on the buffet line that was soo good. Probably the best thing that I had there. The decor was modern and the location seemed pretty clean.
Desserts were just OK. They had a made-to-order crepe station that I was excited about, but when I asked for Nutella (they showcased 2 huge buckets of Nutella on display), it was watered down and runny so that they could just squeeze it out of a plastic bottle. I didn't think you could ever ruin Nutella, but this buffet had found a way. Also, my husband was really looking forward to the hand-dipped ice cream station... we couldn't even find it so we had asked someone to show us. It ended up "not working" this evening and that was why we had passed by it multiple times. The hand-dipped ice cream bars were just small bowls of melted ice cream with a stick in the bowl. Maybe there was no attendant to work this station? I'm not sure, but my husband was disappointed.
When I visit Vegas, I do look forward (and am willing to pay) for top-notch dining experiences, so I will probably not return to this buffet. With that being said, I believe this is an affordable option for a buffet experience. I had trouble rating this between 2 or 3 stars, but went with 3 as I believe this buffet is priced to its quality when compared to other buffets on the strip.
