| - I am seriously shocked that this place has over 3 stars.....
Came here because family was in town and they wanted to try the buffet. Fine, let's go. As a local that has tried several buffets on and off the strip I know not to expect too much- but this was wrong on so many levels.
We came here on a Saturday around 11:30 for "brunch." The line to get a table took about 15 minutes and the line at the actual buffet took about 10. We had to steal silverware and napkins from another table since we weren't provided with any. Our waiter only came by to get our drink order and once again to get a couple refills.
As for the actual food... if you enjoy the frozen section of your local grocery store then you will love this place! "Orange chicken" consisted of frozen chicken nuggets with some watery orange sauce on the side. There were frozen waffles and pancakes that somehow managed to be incredibly soggy and there were also some kind of fried triangle-shaped hash browns similar to what you would find at McDonald's, but worse. The salad bar was nonexistent; I'm talking lettuce, carrots, and your choice of dressing. Watermelon looked days old and they somehow managed to make a Chinese tofu dish look swampy.
Vegetarians, beware! There is nothing here for you except some crappy potatoes and frozen green beans. Everything else comes from a carving station. Meat eaters, don't think that you'll be ok.... our family couldn't stand any of the food either. There was someone making made-to-order omelettes, but I'd rather not wait 15 minutes in the middle of the buffet surrounded by people trying to get their eggs and bacon, thanks.
Not wanting to battle the crowds for more soggy waffles, I headed over to the dessert station and loaded up on everything they offered. The cheesecake and chocolate cake were ok- about what you could get at your grocery store. Everything else was eh.
The only reason I could see why they charge an obnoxious amount of money for this buffet is because they offer the standard cocktail shrimp and crab legs. But considering how terrible everything else was, I can't imagine that they are worth the trip to this place.
In a nutshell, we paid $27 a person for a trip to the frozen food section of the grocery store. They have hardly any selection (no pizza, pasta , or mashed potatoes??) and nothing tastes fresh. It has a terrible layout and lines move slowly. Vegetarians, avoid it like the plague.
If you are going to go to a buffet, spend a little extra money and head over to Bellagio, Wynn or Planet Hollywood. Or, if you are a local, head to your nearby station casino and save yourself the time and money.
