| - The other evening, I felt like Bubba in the Forrest Gump movie, shrimp this and shrimp that, and with so many combinations to choose from, hot, cold, on ice, in a spicy broth, with rice, yada yada yada -- it was all glorious. Of the 152 (or so) items, I may have tasted 37 of them (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/village-seafood-buffet-las-vegas?select=jrMXFC66ww1lDR1NsQnyMg#YkaPn9HxhtwF0nqv9uWZKA), and returned again for 5 items, and then again for 2 of my favorites, and again for the same 2 favs, and again for the same 2 favs, until I nearly busted. Clearly, the best dish was the steamed mix of lobster tails (small 2-3" but who cares, grab 30 of'em) and butterflied large shrimp (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/village-seafood-buffet-las-vegas?select=jrMXFC66ww1lDR1NsQnyMg#ml546xqPEKewFaW1blGmow). This beats setting out nets to catch on my own, or waking up at 4am to go fishing. When the last shrimp rolled around for about 3 minutes before I could swallow it, I knew the feast was over for me -- I was clearly out of the contest.
With varied stations of seafood (hot and cold), and alternatives (a small bit of Mexican, salads, sushi, and Mediterranean among others), a carving station, etc, Village Seafood Buffet is exactly as it states "seafood", and this is the kind of village I'd like to live in. The rent is a bit high at $44.95 ($5 off with players card). But c'mon, you know your a play'a...and it's your turn to take that position over, as I've died and gone to heaven.
P.S. For an extra $11.95, you can add AYCD wine or beer during your dining.
PSS. Don't forget to take the Lobster Mashed Potatoes...it's soooo good!
