| - Finally my turn to try Bacchanal after months of waiting. Charm C. and I came on a Tuesday afternoon around 3:30. No line at all and we were immediately seated, but before we reached our table our host gave us the mini tour. I swear it really is the little things like that which make a difference. I did the smart thing and walked the entire buffet to look at the options rather than grabbing whatever I saw in sight on my first plate. Stomach space is very important especially for a buffet such as this. The seafood is absolutely amazing, best crab legs, oysters, and shrimp I've ever had from a buffet or maybe even in general. It is true the shrimp are succulent plump yet taste-y. I recommend doing 2 rounds of seafood because you will get your money's worth and it is not filling at all. My stomach space started to lessen once I started eating the carbs and meat. I was disappointed with the prime rib because it is one of my all time favorites. It was rather dry and did not have a spectacular taste either, but this could possible be because I may have had the last piece. It is true most items here are little pieces of art, a lot of thought went into creating this buffet and you could definitely tell by almost all 500 items. The interior is beautiful, although not fancy I would describe it as elegant yet approachable. So this is the most expensive buffet in Vegas and you could definitely tell by the patrons eating here, the people here are definitely not poor! I don't know if this is worth $50, but if they kept the prices the same as when it first opened they would be getting 5 stars from me.
Must try:
crab legs
oysters
shrimp
kalbi (great flavor, tender, with the right amount of sauce)
Pretty good:
dim sum
clam chowder
Needs improvement:
prime rib
sushi
