| - I think I went on a really good day because I was warned of how bad it was, and I didn't think the food was that bad - actually, I thought the food was pretty good and maybe just a notch below what I experienced at the Orleans buffet the day before.
When we went, I think the buffet had less than six parties as customers, and the restaurant next door (which shares the same room), had at least half its tables occupied. Another reason why my expectations were low going in.
It's $8.99 for lunch, but $6.99 with a player's card. So, that $2.00 off really makes a difference. If you get a 2 for 1 coupon in the mail, or something - then at $4.50, I think it is worth 4 stars (on an apparently good day). First, there was no line, which I liked (a double edged sword for Vegas buffets because that is a sign of bad food). The price was great (we had the 2 for 1), and the food was decent.
The selection is small. I had the meat at the carving station, which was satisfactory; , the beef medallion with gravy, I did like. The pea soup, however, I did not like.
Like at the Orleans buffet, I took a nice quantity of shrimp, peeled the shell, and had my own shrimp cocktail on a plate - though the shrimp I got was softer than what I would have liked (probably becuase I got the shrimp form the bottom of the bowl where the accumulation of melted ice was located), that alone was worth more than the price of the lunch at $4.50, even at $6.99, the shrimp alone is worth the price - at $8.99, I probably would be writing that I would have liked the shrimp to have been a better experience.
The service was friendly, and fast in bringing drinks, and removing used plates, so kudos to that, also.
