| - All the hype lives up to expectations.
Came in for lunch before leaving Las Vegas. Caught a good day with no line. Staff was helpful, friendly and prompt. Total rewards members (casino card program) entry is discounted. This buffet priced a little more than others but worth the difference. The discount helps it too.
Pan holders are provided and we are seated. Drink orders are taken in a timely fashion as we get straight to the stations. Lots of variety. Definitely one of the biggest around. There are clearly defined areas. Seafood, meat, Italian, Latin, Asian, dessert are some. There are dishes that are oven hot and have the pan holders if you left yours at the table. Fresh plates are used each round up.
For lunch there is not a limited selection of seafood. From salmon to halibut. Shrimp several ways. Ceviche, cocktail, et. Oysters, mussels, crab legs, crawfish are some offerings. Warm and cold are the variable plates. Properly maintained were the cold items such as the oysters. (I've gotten sick at other casino buffets)
Meats. So many selections just at the carving station. Brisket, turkey ham, prime rib, mango chicken sausage, hot links, kielbasa were just a few I tried. The meats were seasoned masterfully. Meats melted and tender. The hot links were spicy mouth was burning. Oh so good though. Other items found at this station include fried chicken, roasted chicken, chicken and waffles, fries, potatoes, any practically anything for classic buffet faire. Most of the options were good. Some a little dry but nothing where enjoyment was lost.
The next station had some Latin faire. Chili Colorado, fajitas, enchiladas, rice, tamales and likes. These were some of the better Spanish and Latin I have tried at a buffet. Most times dishes are dry and lacking seasoning. These were moist, fresh, and wanting more.
A salad bar, soups, rolls, and various small plates. Some good tried included the truffle soup, gratin potatoes, and truffle macaroni n cheese. Each of these were good enough to return for a second helping. Moist and seasoned to perfection both helpings.
Italian and pasta station I didn't get much into. Classic fair of sauces, pizza et. They looked pretty good.
Asian faire station has been by a mile the best for a buffet I have tried. Japanese, Korean, and Chinese faire.
There was a choice of three sushi rolls. Each distinctive. I enjoyed the spicy tuna roll. Fresh was the rice roll and the tuna. A good spicy was found. A ramen, pho, and udon station was available. I tried the ramen. Freshly made noodles are boiled to order in a light stock with the noodles, barbecue pork, and vegetables added (can be with held on request). The ingredients are pulled once cooked and added to a simple miso soup brith. The broth was seasoned and demonstrated respect found in preparation at a Japanese ramen house.
For Korean and Chinese dishes, I tried the golgibi beef, various dim sum (shu Mai, dumplings), and duck were some of the items enjoyed. Tender easy to eat beef was the golgibi. Dim sum items were flavored, sized and appropriate like found in many Chinese brunch times. Duck was fair amount of meat to fat. The Chinese and Korean offerings were better than most actual restaurant fair without the outrageous pricing.
Dessert and snack bar. Fruit, cookies, pies, pastries, donuts, gelato, chocolate/caramel apple and pears. My eyes at this point are bigger than my belly. Everything is so scrumptious. There is more than something for everybody here.
Good: variety for everyone, flavors hit most marks, proteins were appropriate temperature and seasoned, organized, friendly.
Bad: didn't find lobster during lunch but otherwise everything was good and so full (from eating- not bad).
I'd be back to eat more. Definitely one of the best buffets to date.
