| - Mandalay Bay's buffet introduces nothing new or spectacular. The reason I chose this buffet was because I was staying at the Mandalay Bay and it was cheap and convenient, plus I got to use my express comps to get a free meal. This is just your run-of-the-mill buffet that is on par with the Le Village Buffet at Paris and the Carnival Buffet at the Rio, only not as big in selection and price. For $25 you can get a brunch buffet on the weekends, and brunch is my favorite time for a buffet. You get free champaign and there are endless crab legs, shrimp cocktail, and prime rib. So by eating those 3 and drinking champaign, you more than get your money's worth, and you don't have to leave the buffet feeling overfed and gross. The desserts aren't nearly as fancy as the ones at the Wynn and Bellagio buffets, but those are in another class all by themselves.
There wasn't a line to get into the buffet, but there was a pretty big line at the customized omelette station and the breakfast station as well so try to either get there before 10am or after 12pm to avoid crowds. The buffet also has a great view of the pool- to make you feel even more like a fatass compared to the beautiful bodied sunbathers. Definitely not one of the best, but it is better than average, so check it out if you happen to be in the area.
