. . "Our stay at the ARIA included credits at the resort restaurants, and after one of the worse flights to Vegas I've experienced that left us both famished & nauseated, we decided to head downstairs and try THE Buffet. btw, I love how that whole THE Ohio State thing has become a contest to see which player went to the one & only douchebag university. I can't wait for the Ivy League players to get into the mix.\n\nAnyway, back to food: as with many buffets, you have to know what to select and what to avoid. Unfortunately some of the most appealing-on-paper choices are also the worst here: the crab legs, the Asian station, and the tandoori oven cooked naan bread should be avoided at all costs. What I personally liked the most were some of least popular options: the grilled vegetables, the quinoa and tabouli salads. The prime rib and steamed clams in a tomato base were also good.\n\nMy wife got the surf & turf which was cold lobster paired with a quality rib eye in a bernaise sauce. However, the majority of things we tried here were just not up to snuff. The service was very friendly & efficient, and we never had to wait long for anything.\n\nDefinitely not worth the money, but the variety of options, pleasant setting and service make it a good option if you are staying here and want to eat ASAP."^^ . .
