| - After reading USA Today's review ( http://www.usatoday.com/experience/las-vegas/best-of-vegas/vegas-buffets-five-to-find/1991653/) that this was the best buffet in Vegas, I decided to give it a shot. The review deemed this place unique, but I would not totally agree. The venue is beautiful, and not your typical "stuff your face fatty" environment. It's nicely finished, and gives you the feel like you are in a bubble. That's really where the uniqueness ends.
Service is par for any buffet, so don't expect anything better than the service you get at an Old Country Buffet. The staff was friendly though, but it would have been a huge WOW factor if they knew our names, even a first name woukd have WOW'd me.
The food selection is nothing all that special. I really expecter a better quality and variety than what was there. Don't get me wrong, the glutny of US culture is well represented and the sorority girl types will have to pull the trigger a few times if they want to try everything that fancies them, but it didn't meet my WOW expectation. I expected more seafood, meats, and non typical buffet foods. When you dedicate 10% of you buffet to pizzas that are not all that great, then you lose me.
Suggestions:
1.) You can really up the service here to get an edge.
2.) Go less typical pizza and be inventive. Have some deep dish pizza, goat cheese, and other unique stuff.
3.) The Chinese food is insulting, and is really just Chinese-American take out. How about authentic Chinese food?
4.) Seafood was below par, and Atlantic City's Borgota has you beat hands down. Yes Atlantic City! I hope I woke you up on this one. How about some Lobster meat for $60?
Compliments
1.) Loved, loved, loved the brisket! This is some of the best brisket meat a I have ever had! It's easily in the top 5, and probably top 2. Can I get that recipe?
2.) Dessert bar was awesome... You can't go wrong with any selection. Great unique style and different flavors (i.e. Green tea creme brullette).
In the end, I don't see what makes this the best buffet in Vegas when compared to other buffets across the country I have been too. If this is really the best, then I probably won't try others (realize that I am writing this while eating breakfast at the Wicked Spoon Buffet).
