During our last visit to Las Vegas, our hotel stay in the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino included a meal a day for free at the Buffet. We figured, free food is always good food. Normal price for adults brunch is $18, served from 7am until 3pm Mondays through Thursdays. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, the times are the same but the price is a bit higher. The price per adult is $22(brunch), which mean that the husband and I saved ourselves some money here. Dinner is served from 3pm until 10 Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Dinner comes at the cost of $24 per person (dinner).We did experience one brunch and one dinner buffet (dinner on Friday, brunch on Saturday)
Dinner:
-Prime rib- it was ok. It didn't taste that great and the horse radish wasn't radishy.
-Mexican rice- not bad. It was good with the beef with sauce that they had. I ate that together to give it more flavor since the beef with the sauce was a bit on the salty side.
-I did not try the pizza but the lady seating in the table near us had a slice and I saw her take a bite. That poor slice of pizza was hard as a rock. She even tapped it on her plate and it didn't even brake. She came over and nicely informed me to stay away from the pizza because it's "hard".
-Pasta- it seemed like it was sitting out there for too long since it was on the dry side BUT it was probably the tastiest thing I ate during dinner.
-Mozzarella and tomatoes- none were good or tasted fresh
-Loaded potatoes- delicious!
Dinner experience: 4/10
Brunch:
-Their omelette station is great!! Ham, bacon, cheese, veggies, etc. The guy making the omelettes during our visit was genuinely nice and seemed happy to be working. He had a tip jar near his station and with that, we did tip him.
-Pastries were a bit on the hard side. Not very fresh.
-Fruits are sweet, fresh and not too shabby.
-Coffee- It surprise me that it was fresh and hot. I had no trouble getting more or them running out of it.
-Potatoes were super good!
-French toast- nothing special, not sweet or fluffy. It wasn't hard though so that was good.
Brunch experience: 8/10 (the omelette saved it!!)
Las Vegas has plenty of different buffets and restaurants of all ranges of prices to eat at. The particular buffet is pretty limited to what they have and the food is def not the best. I would say it's at a diner quality. If we did not get comp for the meals there because of our stay, I wouldn't have eaten there. This place needs lots of work in making it more inviting (colors are dull and decorations are kinda boring) and maybe a bit more on customer service since all the hostess' weren't the friendliest. I didn't go back for any seconds at all being that I wasn't tempted or wowed by any of the food here.
