| - So, this was the first stop (Saturday brunch) in the 24-hour glutton-fest known as Harrah's Buffet of Buffets. Unfortunately, instead of starting off with a bang, it was more like a fizzle.
I hadn't been to Caesar's Palace since I was a kid, so the whole hotel area was pretty much a new experience to me. After parking, we basically traversed the entire casino floor to reach the Lago buffet. Expecting an extremely long line, I was pleasantly surprised to only find a pretty long line. However, the line did move quickly and it probably only took 45 minutes to get through to the cashier.
After some seating confusion, my group of 10 was split up into two groups of 5. Which was fine, since we avoided the 18% gratuity charge tacked on for groups of 8 or more. What wasn't fine was the cashier openly complaining about how my friends paid individually (instead of the entire group on one bill).
The food, was, well, okay. Nothing too special, nothing extraordinary popped out in my mind. It didn't stop me from stuffing my face with two plates and a plate of desserts, but overall it was meh. I had an iced tea, but a couple of my friends said their sodas were flat.
The dessert station had two desserts that I particularly enjoyed. The first was this coffee (mocha?) pudding with a chocolate coffee bean on top. The second was a raspberry pudding cup with you guessed it, a raspberry on top.
All in all, if you're staying at the Caesar's already, then it's not a horrible choice to go to. However, if you feel up to driving or walking, definitely try another on the list of Buffet of Buffets.
