| - If this is what paradise is like, I think I'll stick with normal life.
The Paradise Buffet at the Flamingo Casino and Hotel is one of the most sorry excuses for a buffet and the second-worst buffet I have eaten at in Las Vegas.
The buffet is hard to find, hard to get to, the selection is limited and the food just isn't good. While most buffets in Vegas pride themselves on seafood, the Paradise Buffet had very little of it.
The center portion of the buffet is dedicated to shrimp cocktail and crab legs, but unlike the Aria Buffet or other top venues, the crab legs are not cracked open. This buffet also has some sushi, but it is dry and had been sitting out for a while. The sushi selection was also very limited and was the worst I have had in Las Vegas.
The rest of the buffet was nothing more than home cooked items like pot roast, macaroni and cheese, Caesar salad and boneless chicken. It was almost like an expensive, glorified Old Country Buffet. But at least with OCB, you didn't have to pay like $20.
Of course, if you check-in on Foursquare you can save a few bucks on the buffet. But it is Vegas, and who wants to stand in line to save money on a buffet. Just put that five bucks into the machine instead and let it ride.
Best bet: Skip this buffet and visit the Flamingo to just see the flamingos outside.
