| - The quality of this buffet has gone WAY down and prices way up since the first time I came here in late 2010. I ate here with my bf on my way back home from Vegas for brunch and it was $44 per person, not including gratuity. Price included unlimited mimosas, wine and beer, which wasn't optional. This price is a RIP OFF, seeing that you can eat Bacchanal, Wynn or Cosmo buffet for around the same price for DINNER. The food was in no way even close to what they serve at those places. I think if the price was cut in half, I might have given it one more star.
Food:
Selection is decent. There is your salad and soup areas, bfast section with an omelette station, seafood with crab legs, cocktail shrimp and oysters, sushi, prime ribs and steak, and Asian food section including kbbq and Chinese noodles. The have a small dessert section, and I say small in comparison to Wynn's and the like. I really liked that they had an espresso machine where the barista could make you a fancy caffeinated drink.
Quality is just bad. Crab legs are tiny and the meat is meager. There is a slight aftertaste that I hate, which comes from not-so-fresh crabs. The prime rib looked too well-done and the steak was also overcooked and just wasn't appetizing. The rice on the sushi rolls were rock hard so I took off the rice and ate just the nori and the filling. The lobster bisque was the worst I've ever had - can't really call it lobster bisque if there is no lobster in it. Oysters were handled without much afterthought by the person putting them on the buffet line, and were not fresh. Just anything I put on my plate, i took a bite of and gave up. Even the chocolate souffle tasted like semi-wet chocolate flavored baby powder. I felt bad for wasting all that food.
After the 2nd plate, I almost wanted to ask for my money back.
If you are in Vegas and want to do the buffet thing, stick to Wynn, Cosmo, or Bacchanal.
