| - FINALLY got chance to try Studio B. I've been to M so many times but I was never able to try it because of a few things: long ridiculous lines and they aren't open at midnight :[
Went on a Saturday around 5:30p since we didn't want to wait, and yes, we did drive out of Vegas for about 20 minutes just for the buffet. Studio B is located inside the modern M resort, and is probably the biggest draw of the hotel.
Once we paid and were seated, I immediately went for the carving stations. Prime rib, BBQ ribs, lamb, turkey, roasted chicken... everything was there. Of course, I started out with the prime rib because for me, the quality of the prime rib can sometimes make/break a buffet. Surprisingly, M Resort had one of the best prime rib I've had a buffet, anywhere! The seasonings on the crust, the medium-rare doneness, and the au jus all came together for a delicious tasting prime rib. The braised short rib was my 2nd favorite. Didn't expect the buffet to have tender short ribs.
A lot of people liked the BBQ ribs, including me, but I do have to say, it is a bit fatty so that may turn some people away. The poultry were all good, but for some reason they didn't have chicken breast, only the dark meat. Not that I was really complaining since I always prefer the more juicy part of the bird.
As for the seafood, that's what all others went for first. The highlight is definitely the crab leg! Mounds and mounds of crab legs. It's not split in half for you like some of the buffets at the high end hotels (Wynn, Bellagio), but it is cracked open at strategic spots so it is quite easy to crack the legs. However, one thing I do have to say that it was extremely salty and that some just looked sorta odd with brown and green spots.
There's also unlimited raw oysters! A few of my friends totally went berserk but I sorta held back since I've had bad experience with raw oysters and will only eat the ones that has a pure clear liquid, but that's just me. The fact that they offer raw oysters is amazing to me though.
There's also an Asian section, which is the same as everywhere else. Hot foods such as mashed potatoes and fried fish is there as well. My favorite was definitely the fried calamari with marinara sauce. It's like free and unlimited appetizer that you would have to pay 10-12 bucks for at any restaurant!
As for the desserts... I didn't care much for the cakes but they do have creme brulee (I'm a sucker for it) and gelato ice cream! Creme brulee is creamy and tasty. For the gelato, lemon was definitely my favorite. Sweet but just enough tang for you to pucker.
Another huge draw for the buffet is the unlimited beer & wine. 3 types of beers on draft and a red/white wine option. It's sorta hidden in the corner and a lot of people thought you had to pay but it's just people giving tip.
Seriously, I have a craving to go back. It may not be the best quality and it is a little out of the way, the price, selection, and unlimited alcohol definitely pushed this buffet into the 5 star realm!
