| - For Christmas Dinner, I felt a buffet would be in order. Something to usher in a great new year. Something epic. Something Santa would like. I was walking around on Fremont Street and decided to turn in here.
After seeing the world's largest golden nugget on display, I caught sight of the Buffet sign. I meandered the maze of slot machines and card tables and eventually climbed the stairs to get to the buffet. Twenty(ish) dollars got me in and seated at a table where the two nicest ladies helped me out with beverages and taking away my plates.
My first round was certainly meaty. Pig, Cow, Fish, Crustacean, Fowl....no species of God's creation was safe from my appetite. "Sure I'll try that." "Can I get a slab of each please?" "Oooh. Let's get some of those!" I'll admit. My eyes were far larger than my stomach with this trip. Everything looked way tasty and smelled wondrous. I was also kinda sorta guilty about how many species of animal were about to be sacrificed to me.
After plate number one I was considering throwing in the towel. Then one of the nicest ladies comfortingly said to me; "Take your time. Digest. You can stay all night if you want!" Thank you nicest lady. I really wish I remembered your name. I broke out my game-boy and began playing video games for a lil bit to digest and clear out some space. Thankfully, I carry that thing for just such occasions.
After ten or so minutes, I made a stab at food sortie number two. I wanted to make my Mom happy, so I got a plate of salad. Crisp green veggies and red tomatoes. Even more numbers on the species list I suppose. All was refreshing and crisp and as good as these things can be.
After the veggie plate, I decided to make a run on the dessert station. I made sure to grab a full sized plate for this trip. Pies. Cakes. Cannolis. Moussey things and creme brulee things. I tend to overdo it on the dessert round. Of course, by this point, I was super stuffed and while unable to completely finish the things, I was able to manage a sampling of everything.
The buffet is great. It's very pretty. It's very tasty. I'm sure Santa would have been happy. Or Jesus. It's his birthday...right? Happy Birthday Jesus!
I'll be back if I'm wandering Fremont again. Thanks Golden Nugget!
