| - Our $45.98 Groupon for "two dinner buffets with unlimited drinks" expired a few weeks ago but we used the paid value of it towards our meal. We bought the Groupon months ago with the intention to use it that day, but when we arrived there was a line all the way through the regular turnstile, up the escalator, and nearly out the door to the Miracle Mile Shops. We avoided this buffet for months, thinking it was this crowded all the time. We went Halloween night and there was NO ONE in line. I was told this was a "slow" season.
We are Total Rewards (players card) members and expected to pay $27.99 each, minus the Groupon credit. However, the "NEW PRICING" prices noted on the website menu http://bit.ly/1u7By0S were not the actual prices. The cashier said the prices increased, and in fact they increased a few hours before we arrived. Our new price for Total Rewards members was $29.99 plus tax. That was a bit disappointing, and we suggested they update the website immediately.
Total of $77.76 for buffet for two wasn't a great value overall (we get free buffets often at Silverton, The M, and Stations Casinos), but I suppose our fault for buying the Groupon not knowing the lines would be so long at the time we wanted to be there in the first place.
Service was good. Food selection was all good and tasty except for the baklava which was stiff. The chardonnay house wine was very cheap and sugary in my opinion. I would not do the all-you-can-drink next time. Better to buy a quality glass of wine in the casino and bring it in.
There was a photographer taking those "tourist" photos and trying to sell a pair of pics for $20. We didn't care for that, and we didn't appreciate that she assumed we were tourists. Locals like us are just as much of the clientele around this town.
If the price was lower and if they'd upgrade the house wine selection, we'd go again.
