| - I'm just not a buffet person. I can't ever eat enough to justify the cost of one, and it'd take me a week of eating to justify the cost of this buffet.
We came because my cousin is in love with the food here. She had it all planned out: show up an hour before lunch, eat slowly, and be there long enough to witness them swapping out breakfast food for lunch food.
Unfortunately, it seemed every other person in Vegas had that exact same thought. When we arrived, a haughty employee at the back of the line told us that the wait was two hours, and that we'd have to consult the machines to our left to find out what time to return, just to be able to stand in line again.
This, of course, totally screwed up the master plan, but what else could we do? We walked over to the machines (me mentally equating them to a Fast Pass machine at Disneyland), and hit the screen to start. The message that came up confirmed that we'd have to return to queue up in over two hours, but wait! A little box then popped up to tell us that we had a option. For the low-low price of $25 (per person), we could basically buy ourselves a place in the "ready to be seated" line.
We stood there discussing the choice - I didn't mind waiting, hubby and cousin were interested in eating as soon as possible - so we decided to just go ahead and do it.
I'll skip over the part where my behind clenched after hearing the final total and move on to the buffet itself.
It is large. It is packed. It is varied. It is way too much for one such as me. It is a waste of money for one such as me. You may think you have a big appetite. You may be hungry. Hell, you may have even purposely starved yourself just to eat your way through this buffet. But you'll never get your money's worth.
But maybe that's just me.
Like I said, there's just a ton of food. Seafood stations, Asian stations, pasta stations, a dessert area that's bigger than my living room, but it was all lost on me.
The food I did end up sampling was good. I spent most of my appetite at the Asian stations, while my husband and cousin were all over the place.
We did a tour of the options before deciding, passing by lines of people who looked half-starved and mildly angry. I made mental note of the things I'd be interested in tasting, then went and grabbed a plate and some freshly-rolled sushi. To that I added some seaweed salad, poke and some dumplings. I then went back to the table to release my cousin, and found that our drinks hadn't yet arrived.
In fact, it took quite some time for anything to arrive - water, soda, tea - which I wasn't okay with. Even the refills were a long time coming. Not cool.
Anyway, my husband and cousin put their own versions of a hurtin' on the buffet, but I tapped after round two.
To my mind, it certainly wasn't worth the cost, and definitely not worth the "fast pass" seating (quite a boon for their profits, I'm sure!)
