| - Attended the Champagne brunch on Saturday, $24 a person for basically all the free mimosas on top of the normal buffet. And it was quite a normal buffet, even if it was a very vast array of meal selection.
The desserts are amazing, the little stripe-rolled selection of cakes are perfect and moist. Their mimosas were pretty delicious and were constantly refreshed by a roving crew with pitchers. The selection was a major plus too, and there were several major stations with live people actively making you omelettes, mongolian BBQ, or carving you a giant shank of prime rib. No complaints about the variety.
But certainly about the quality of food -- yes, it's a buffet, and the rigors of long and heated mass-quantity portions means you aren't going to get Mario Batali quality, but more often than not the food came up cold by the time you got back to your seat, or in the case of most of the Asian noodles, overdrenched with oil and inedible. The crab legs were, well, sub-par.
But there were plenty of dishes and we all felt we'd gotten our money's worth at the end of it, for good and for bad. I certainly would call it the biggest selection near the Strip, but not the best.
