| - You know how when you have a favorite (fill in the blank) restaurant, that's pretty much your benchmark when trying to decide whether or not to try new eateries similar in nature? Or is it just me?
Anyway, my favorite buffet for years has been the Bellagio Buffet. Probably what made it the best was the awesome selection and the king crab legs that they served. The last time I went there though, they didn't have king crab legs so then I really had no real strong desire to HAVE to go back there. I mean, let's be honest. A buffet is a buffet is a buffet. Right? WRONG!
Studio B in the M Resort has ousted the title of best buffet in Vegas, in my book. *erasing Bellagio and writing in Studio B* First of all, the selection. Once you enter the dining area after the line for the ends after over an hour long wait, you'll see that it looks like a maze. But I thought to myself, "Ah, it's probably another one of those buffets that have duplicate dishes on either side, to make the line more efficient, right? WRONG!
Every single plate, nook, cranny of that line has a different dish. I think what I like best about this buffet is that there's a lot of Asian themed dishes here, reminiscent of dishes that you can find in Hawaii. Yes, I'm Asian. (You just looked at my profile picture again just to make sure I wasn't lying, didn't you?) And yes, I'm from Hawaii. So when there's something on the buffet line in a resort NOT located in The California Hotel or in the Main Street Station Hotel and Casino, it's actually pretty impressive. Kal bi? Teriyaki steak? Wow. If I lived in Vegas, this would definitely be a place that I would come to so I could get my local food fix. They also have crab legs! OK, so it's not king crab legs. But it was still delicious!
So what's the worst part of a buffet? Having to pay for drinks when you already paid a lot for the food, right? WRONG! They even give you unlimited wine and beer here! When I went, I didn't have any since I don't like to drink when I'm trying to binge eat and pretend I'm not going to eat again for a week. But next time I go, I'm definitely going to get some alcohol to consume with my meal.
What's the second worst part of a buffet? Poor service, right? WRONG! The service here was great. Our server ensured our iced teas were always refilled and we had all the napkins or whatever else we needed at hand.
If you come to Vegas, make sure you come here. And try to come on a weekend so you get the FULL (seafood) buffet. Don't walk...RUN! It'll bump you up ahead of at least a few people in line, guaranteed!
