| - When you walk in to a buffet and they give you a small rubber contraption just to hold hot plates with...you know your palette is in for some insane-whatever-happens-in-vegas-stays-in-vegas-goodness... but man, oh man, that is an understatement. You walk in and the place looks like a 5-star restaurant...the ambiance, and the presentation of everything is simply majestic. But of course...what are we here for? What are you reading this review for? the FOOD!!!!
I gotta say, I am totally in LOVE with Bacchanal Buffet. Why? I'll give you at least TEN reasons why...I can probably give you 50, but time is of the essence, and I'm sure you don't have that much essence to read a review of that length...
1) Portions - the presentation and portion size is such a great idea, not that they were the first ones to ever create it, but still, it's nice to have it already prepared for you to take because the serving has been set; that way you avoid the possibility of loading up too much on certain items. It seems like you should be walking around with cafeteria trays just to carry all the single portions around, but I guess that prevents you from overloading too
2) Wagyu beef sliders....O M G, if you've never heard of grass fed beef, Wagyu I heard is some form of Kobe beef hybrid...but it is EXCELLENT. Definitely worth getting a few of them.
3) Crab legs...you have the option of getting them steamed. Just ask for them, don't get them from the cold iced area, give them an empty plate and ask for the steamed crab legs
4) Ramen - Never saw a buffet actually have ramen, udon, and pho before, and I would never have thought it would be so good, but d to the ayam man...it really was. The broth was excellent! I HAD to stop myself from getting more so that I could be sure to try everything.
5) Breakfast items...skirt steak and eggs, truffled potatoes, mini-red velvet pancakes and even CRONUTS were the standouts for the breakfast items to note.
6) Fresh squeezed juices...poured into single-serve carafes...another awesome idea, both presentation-wise and practical...wise, he he he. Horchata, Carrot, and your normal juices all available, super fresh, and super good. :)
7) Carne Asada tacos...man! Such good quality carne asada makes for some amazing tacos!
8) Gelato, ice cream, too many too choose from for dessert, especially the....
9) Lava cake for dessert....just the way you'd want to have it
10) Oh before i forget, PEELED Jumbo Shrimp coctail...I LOVE that! I hate peeling shrimp, esp for shrimp coctail, he he he.
I mean, i can only review what I remember...I almost wish I had my laptop and a video camera during the whole experience, but hey, we do what we can. :)
Wish there were some oysters, but could've been an availability thing.
It's roughly $50 bucks unless you're some sort of high roller, so for us commoners...it can be a little steep...but TRUST me, it's totally worth it! Your stomach will be thanking you for days.
Hands down my absolute favorite buffet out there...I've hit up Bellagio, M, Rio Seafood and regular, and pretty much all of the main buffets out there(still haven't tried the one at Cosmo yet), but it is head and shoulders above the rest. I still like M, but just the items here blew me away.
Service staff is very friendly and you can pretty much ask for anything...don't forget your mimosas...for those of you over 21 of course.
My Advice, go early for brunch...esp if you like breakfast items, because you get the best of both worlds. I would say to come around 10-10:30 on a the weekends to avoid the crazy crowds and to ensure you start getting your food quick.
I haven't yet tried dinner and I know that there are some items that are available ONLY at dinner, such as the Macarons, but I don't really care much for them, and we confirmed with some hosts that the most variety is available around brunch time.
I used to say that I can't come to vegas without putting a SINGLE bet on something...but now I gotta say I can't come to vegas without eating at Bacchanal! :)
