We had a special New Year's Eve buffet at the Bacchanal Buffet inside Ceasar's Palace. The price ($70) was the most expensive buffet in Vegas, but did include a special offering of Lobster and champagne to ring in the new year.
The place was absolutely packed as expected on New Year's Eve but as time went by things slowed down and the food lines dropped off. The lobster was split in half and you could only get one lobster per trip, but return for another each time you got back in line. The lobster was on the smaller side, but very tasty. The lamb shank was a bit tough. They had diver scallops set atop risotto and was always hot, tender and delicious.
Their sushi offerings were very subpar and a big disappointment. I am a big sushi and sashimi fan and the quality was very poor. Stringy fish and not fresh. The sushi maker behind the counter was slower than molasses as I waited for him to put some fresh fish out. After I tasted it I just tossed it aside and concentrated on other dishes. They had plenty of prime rib and rib eye that was outstanding. They also had Kobe sliders that were flavorful, but cold. Best to ask for a fresh, hot slider made to order rather than grabbing one for the heat lamp.
The waited that took care of us was outstanding and the bus help was excellent as well, considering how busy this place was.
The macaroons were so amazing and flavorful. My favorites were the blueberry and the chocolate. Very fresh and tasty. The gelato and ice cream was very creamy and delicious. Many different flavors that you won't find in other buffets. They even had chocolate creme brûlée. Outstanding!!!
I would definitely return to this place again and catch up on many of the items I missed the first time.
