| - My wife and I don't do buffets, but we needed a brunch location close by to make our flight home. We were staying at the Cosmopolitan so we had noticed The Henry earlier in the weekend. Convenient and no wait so we sat right down.
Our party of 4 ordered the Traditional Benedict, 2 breakfast sandwiches and one oatmeal. I had the Benedict, which I liked a lot. The menu boasted of its "Real Canadian Bacon, English Muffin & Hollandaise". I didn't realize fake Canadian bacon is a big problem? Are cheaper Canadian-style bacons from Maine or Minnesota being passed off as the real thing? Why isn't the English muffin real too? Ok, enough fun - good Benedict (I'm a Benedict aficionado), but not truly exceptional.
The breakfast sandwiches were well received, but they were stoopid huge and maybe a little on the bland side flavor-wise. My sister-in-law liked her oatmeal, and the round of orange juices for the table were good as well.
At home I'd probably have given The Henry 4 stars, but the standards have to be higher in Las Vegas - if you're in a food town, you gotta step it up a notch. I liked The Henry a lot and wouldn't hesitate to go back. But for the price (expensive but reasonable for the Strip) and for Las Vegas it is a solid but unexceptional choice. Good place, but not the best I've ever had.
