| - Le Village Buffet at Paris is le fail.
Expectations weren't that high considering I already knew Wynn, Bellagio, or Studio B buffet would trounce this place any day of the week, even on an off night.
The breads just sucked, no flavor and questionably stale. Insulting to the French culture to serve bread that just isn't good, and calling themselves Paris Las Vegas. I've had better at Hue Thai and Baguette Cafe.
The fettuccine alfredo just tasted like watered down alfredo mix. I know this is a buffet, but how can you fail so badly with fettuccine alfredo? The pesto sauce spaghetti helped to redeem them.
The mussels weren't even remotely fresh, with a strong fishy taste. A sign that it wasn't very fresh.
My experience was the mussels didn't make me want to chance it with the sushi. I didn't want a dose of lax with my meal. The other person in our group confirmed its suckiness, and he isn't as hard of a reviewer as me.
Half of the chicken was very moist since it was near the skin, and the other half was dryer than Vegas on a summer day.
One of the saving grace of the meal was the crepes and waffle station. It amazed me how the chef was just making the crepes with ease. This and the waffles tasted great.
The first round of prime rib was a little dry. Round 2 and 3 were much better, but they were also very rare. It would make even Dexter faint. I could have loaded up on this all day, but a little too early in the day to do this.
This place does have snow crab legs and claws, but its such a PITA to eat because they don't crack it open nicely like the Wynn. I'm sure there are people who would have loaded up on this, but it wasn't worth my time.
The champagne was a poor quality. Don't bother unless you just want the free alcohol. Just go play at the penny slots and get yourself some free drinks instead.
I didn't get a chance to try the desert, but the others in our group says its good.
Our group got a nice cozy and quiet room, but also got a rocky table. We McGuvyer'd it with a bunch of sugar packets on the base of the table.
Service from our first waiter just wasn't good. He forgot which drinks we ordered. Carding me for the champagne even though I didn't want any, couldn't even recognize the birthday on my Nevada ID, and still pouring the champagne into my glass even after I said no. Even interrupting our conversation just to pour the champagne in front of my face. Just either walk around to pour the glasses or just take the glass off the table to pour. I know this isn't a 5 star place, but a little common sense goes a long way. Our second waiter was more attentive, clearing our plates in a timely manner and refilling our drinks without asking.
But $30 for mediocre to below average food for lunch when I can spend a couple of bucks more at the Wynn and get dinner, makes this place already lose a star. Had it been a little less, it would be understandable.
Go to the Studio B buffet if you're coming from SoCal, much better stuff and cheaper prices. Otherwise, spend a little more money for the Bellagio or the Wynn. You're on vacation, spend the extra couple of bucks to get a better meal.
