| - It's already happening...the quality is going down. Came here on a Tuesday night for dinner around 8:45 pm. A 15 minute wait to the point of being seated; not bad. My appetite was building as I waited in line looking at the raw bar and the crab legs. I didn't get that the last time, because I came for lunch.
With a bigger crowd than my lunch visit, I got a better feel for the weaknesses of this buffet when it is "packed". The waiter was far less attentive than last time, he was missing the first 15 minutes after we were seated. I waited to order our drinks and let my fellow diners go get their food. However, my husband had a meatball accident...and the waiter brought a rag and club soda. That was nice although it took him about another 15 minutes to get it.
Now about the buffet...
Again I love that for the most part they pre-portion food, so it "grab and move along". However, the seafood bar is really not set up correctly. The condiments and sauces are first, then the plates and then seafood. People waiting in line (and there is always a line at the seafood bar) get down right angry cause it looks like you are cutting in line, but all you want are your condiments. So about that seafood; I got oysters this time, and they were good but not great. I guess I like a different type. The crab legs....holy SALT! And I like salty, but I guess that is how they stop you from taking more than one plate. So disappointing.
Meats- Impressed they had lamb chops, but they were, unfortunately, well overdone. The prime rib was also a medium-well done; i prefer it rarer and asked for a med-rare piece but that was the piece I got.
Mexican- I pick here and there. Taking they carnitas, hot sauces, salsas and guacamole.
Italian/Pizza/Mediterranean- I don't eat any starch, but it looked decent. Hubby said pizza crust was a bit soggy though.
Asian- yeah. I finally made it this far, but none of it was impressive, but it was decent, better than most take out Chinese. Sushi- generic, but like they still offer it.
Honestly, I think my favorite thing was the salad bar and cheese selection.
I actually walked away this time, not stuffing myself. That is a first. Anyway, I STILL think this is the best buffet on the strip, but I think I won't be back unless any out-of-town guest ask to go to a buffet.
