This buffet is definitely off the beaten path and quite a hike from the casino floor, in comparison to the majority of Strip casinos. Thank goodness my meal was comped through a gaming promotion or I may have been quite disappointed.
Things got off to a rocky start when they weren't able to find my promo code on my CODE card, even though the CODE rep at the membership desk told me exactly what to do/where to go to redeem. The wait after paying was about 20-30 minutes, which was extremely disappointing since they only had half of the dining room open. The hostess "guarding" the dining room made it clear that they didn't have enough servers scheduled to open the other half of the dining room. When I was getting seated, the seating hostess apparently wasn't paying attention to her radio earpiece and tried to seat me at a table set for 4; I was dining alone.
The selection of items offered on the buffet was pretty good, definitely not the Vegas standard, though. There were absolutely NO fried foods, which was a really nice change. I particularly enjoyed the Kung Pao Chicken, the sausage flatbread pizza, and both of the pastas that I tried. The Prime Rib was good, but the wait to get a piece done to my liking was a little frustrating. The pork dish that was being served at the carving station made me leery, so that went untouched. There was a great selection of desserts available as well, including gelato and individually plated gourmet desserts.
My service was decent, but my beverage did sit empty twice during the course of the meal. All in all, it was a good experience, but it will probably be a little while before I try it again - especially with their reduced hours!
