| - I've eaten at many buffets in LV. I just don't know why, but any buffet that is North of the strip just isn't up to par at all. And the Medley at Aliante is no exception. First of all, at breakfast and lunch (not including weekends and holidays) there is virtually no line. Great if you're hungry and can't wait to eat something. The service staff seems to be really good and their personalities are really good.
That is basically the good part, with a few exceptions. One of the first things you see upon entering is the huge soup and salad bar, with the fruit prominently displayed. It looks awful. All the melons are cut in different sizes and looks worse than if my 6 year old grandkid got hold of a knife and started cutting. The tables and booths are of decent size and comfort. Usually go to buffets at lunch, as that is my big meal of the day. Went for some soup and tried the minestrone. The flavor was ok, but the pieces of vegetables were much bigger than the spoon. The salad bar itself seemed stocked with the usual ingredients but no bell peppers. Everything down to the prepared salads seemed to be prepackaged. Went over to the Mexican section which had some small but decent tamales, menudo, fajita fixings, taco fixings and the salsa bar. Most of it tasted blah! Went to the American, wow, they had my least favorite fish again, tilapia! Carving station had beef and turkey. The Italian had some dried up baked pasta dish, pizza with lousy crust, spaghetti + meatballs, sausage and peppers and marinara sauce that was so watery it wouldn't stay on the meatballs.
The Chinese section had a variety of foods that my diet couldn't handle so I stayed away. At the BBQ section they had pulled pork, kielbasa, hot dogs and hamburgers that were not cooked to order but tasty and they had a decent no-bean chili that tasted ok and French fries and corn bread. There was a decent selection of deserts but no vanilla sauce for the bread pudding. The NSA deserts had very little variety, but sometimes they put out the cookies which taste ok. The coffee is pretty decent.
All in all you get what you pay for I guess. Would not have a problem paying a little extra for better quality food and presentation. Seems like all the food workers don't take pride in their cooking because the food almost always looks like it was just dumped in a serving plate and put out.
