| - Disappointing. For $39.99 per person, they should be ashamed of themselves to charge so much for such a small, weak selection of food. We went on Sunday, the last day before they closed.
I hope whoever is in charge of SLS and their buffet reads into not just Yelp reviews, but any type of feedback they can access to.
Personally, I don't think it's the location that made SLS Buffet version1.0 a failure. I mean, look at the other popular buffets locations in other hotels on the strip. Cosmopolitan's Wicked Spoon buffet comes to mind. Isn't their location out in the boonies? Or look at Planet Hollywood's Spice Market Buffet. They, too, also have to take an escalator to get to their buffet area. All in all, it's really the QUALITY and VARIETY of what you bring to the table (literally).
Once entering into the buffet dining area, I noticed a change of...theming. All of a sudden....I thought I was eating at some restaurant in the cabin/woods. I thought I even saw some deer or buffalo heads mounted on the walls??? =/ What the...?! Tables looked very picnic-esque.
Also, it felt like just because it was the last night, employees were slacking....or they simply just don't give a F%*# anymore. Case in point: soup section. Here I am....seeing two different types of chowders all dried and crusted. But my crazy ass still wanted to give it a try. Okay but um...where are the spoons?? I told the girl that was behind the counter they were out of soup spoons. She said okay and disappeared. I waited for 5-7 minutes. There was no sight of her. I'd still be there waiting if they didn't close this place down. So I drank my soup like a barbarian...basically I slurped it up. LOL! And omg...it tasted like it was STRAIGHT FROM A CAN and it was probably two days old. I was horrified.
Nothing looked fresh. They labeled some chicken to be curry chicken. I thought, great! I'm a big fan of curry. Once I got to my table, the chicken was 100% NOT curry!!!!!! It was full on tomato sauce chicken. WTF!? Ugh...disappointed once more.
Seriously, QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY, SLS. I'm glad we went when they had a 2 for 1 locals special. Don't charge a general price of $40 per person for dinner when really....tourists WILL go to somewhere that's at least 3x better; even if they have to pay an additional $10.
Charging Wicked Spoon pricing for a Station buffet. Wow. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?!
