Decided to try Giada's new restaurant at the Cromwell for Sunday brunch, heard such good things about it we had to give it a try. We get there and the wait is about 2 hours away! Well next time we will not go on a weekend and will call for a reservation first. So what is our next choice? Well, Ceasar's Palace is just across the street for the highly touted Baccanal buffet. We get to the entrance and what do we see? some kind of "fast pass" system like they have at Disneyland, the machine says to register for a line ticket and wait time it between 58 to 68 minutes. Really?! they have it at such an exact science that they know it will be 58 minutes? not 47 or 61 minutes? oh wait, if you don't want to wait with the masses they will let each person in for $20 more! What a deal huh?
What is the strategy here? we can't let you in right now or even let you try your luck and wait in line....hey! what shoulld you do with a hour to kill inside a casino? gamble maybe?
So at the Baccanal buffet you can't even wait in line to see if maybe by some kind of miracle you get in within 1/2 hour or ? Overall, diners beware you can't just walk in, you are put into a take a number system, unless you want to pay the toll to get in now.
