| - Got the "Buffet of Buffets" 24-hour pass to Harrah's buffets back in May 2010, and tried:
1. Le Village Buffet @ Paris
2. Emperor's Buffet @ Imperial Palace
3. Carnival World Buffet @ Rio
4. Spice Market Buffet @ Planet Hollywood
I feel bad for finally giving a one-star because I'd like to believe that the chef here actually cares a little bit about what he puts out there... I'd really like to believe that.
Well, upon walking into this hotel, you get a sense of... abandonment. Seriously, I enjoyed walking through the place to find the buffet because I felt like I was in some lame B film set in a dying hotel.
One of the first things I noticed upon being seated was our server giving us paper napkins. Le Village Buffet gave us actual cloth ones...
Later on, we kindly asked the server if we could get a Coke, and she impatiently replied that the machine was right "over there." We guiltily pointed out that our initial order was never taken, and we didn't have cups. At that point, our server sincerely apologized and took our drink order. Ok, I lied. My friend gave her our order, and told me about the incident after she sat back down... and I would LIKE to believe that the server was genuinely apologetic. But who knows.
I'm ranting too long about a 1-star place though. And I don't like to complain *too* much. The food was... edible. Ok, maybe it wasn't that bad. I can't remember. But the overall feeling, I do remember. And I walked out laughing... a little sad, but laughing.
