Let's face it, the buffet competition on the strip is fierce. The Monte Carlo's Buffet isn't a stand out, but serves it's purpose.
Visiting on a Friday morning as the lunch turn over was about to begin (one of my favorite times to visit a buffet), there was no line so got right in. Beverages are self-serve so there's no need for a server to ask what you want to drink. I personally like this because other buffets don't ask what you want to drink until after you return with food, and I need something to wash down what I'm eating after a few bites.
Anyway, breakfast was pretty standard as far as selection and taste goes, although I didn't see any French Toast, my fav. It may have been too late since it was about 10:30am we arrived, but still. I did indulge in one of those mini-boxes of Fruit Loops. A guilty pleasure for sure.
Breakfast pretty much filled me up so I didn't try many of the lunch items. Our table was cleared pretty quickly after our plates were set the edge which is always nice.
In the end, this place truly is A-OK.
