| - 3.5 STARS although I probably would've given them 3 if not for my most recent visit. During better times, the seafood buffet was the bomb! Long lines to get in and plenty of choices to choose from when getting to the seafood choices. This time, no line to get in at 7pm on a Saturday night!
One thing I love is getting a butter shrimped scampi or cleaned peeled shrimp with cocktail sauce. What did I see? Cleaned but unpeeled shrimp! Come on! I'm on vacation! You want me to peel shrimp?
Having been here a couple of times, I had noticed that the "seafood" in seafood buffet has dwindled a bit. When I took a look at what they offered, I can see that maybe 55-60% of the buffet was seafood with the remaining part offering meat or other cuisines that offered meat dishes or seafood dishes. The shrimp dumpling that they had wasn't so great...I've had better.Their baja included fajitas and things didn't impress me. However their pork spareribs were unexpectedly awesome.
There are so many ways to prepare seafood dishes. For example, I'd love to see if they could had made something inspired from the South or maybe something done Asian style like with miso. Instead we got a couple of baked seafood items and the usual array of deep fried calamari, clam strips, and shrimps.
I made sure to not forget about dessert. The gelato selection that they have over there is excellent! I had the blueberry cheesecake gelato and it rocked my world. They also had the Elvis, peanut butter/jelly/banana! No thanks...I'm not ready to channel Elvis after a full meal like that.
For $48, I hoped to have the same experience as before. They really need to change things up a bit. During my meal, I was having one of those cravings for a Red Lobster like cheesy biscuit. When you're thinking of Red Lobster while at a Vegas seafood buffet, then you know something is amiss here.
I'd definitely come back if they looked into making their seafood buffet more focused to what they advertise.
