This was my first time at this buffet extravaganza. I will give you my opinions and throw in those of my friends who dined here before. We arrived at 5 pm on a Wed. evening. The line was not terrible but was growing. Wait was probably 15 mins. Still $50 for a weekday dinner. Military id gets you seated first. From the front, the buffet does not look that big...but it does stretch to the back. You are first impressed with the shucking area (oysters) and crab legs. I couldn't take my eyes off of it...\nWe were seated towards the middle and drink orders were taken right away. For a buffet, the service was pretty darn good. There seemed to be 2 waiters helping us and drinks were refilled and plates cleared quite promptly. \nWhen it came to the food, I am the type to try a few things and go back for the things that I liked. So here are my highlights...\n- Oysters: just ok. We had Aquaknox the night before and you couldn't compare it. But this was the first time I had oysters at a buffet in vegas, so I give them points for even offering. I didn't try the shooters next to them, but my friends said they were also tasty\n- Crab legs/shrimps: This is my vice. I love crab legs. I thought in general, the legs were on the small and wimpy side. With that said, I like the fact that you can get them warmed (not a given at other buffets). I also like the drawn butter dispenser. The shrimp was also really good and they had a nice cocktail sauce to go with it.\n- Meats: Lots of good looking meat product, all displayed behind a glass wall. I thought in general, it was very good. My favorite was the lamb chops. Very juicy and flavorful. One of the best lamb chops that I have had (Carnevino was actually my favorite). The brisket was good, a tad on the sweet side. Baby back ribs were ok. I added the BBQ sauce to it. Every one thought the prime rib was really good as well. Very satisfied with the meat offering. I also liked the mac n' cheese that was served next to it.\n- Sliders/Fried Chicken: The sliders were good. I didn't fill myself with it, but in any other situation, I would have consumed more. I thought the friend chicken was really tasty and crispy. I liked how they served them individually and kept them fresh. They didn't seem to sit there for more than 5 mins.\n- Sushi: Pretty decent for a buffet. I loved the poke that they served. Great flavor\n- Asian: Great asian selection\n- Dessert: ONe of the best selection that I have been to. Huge gelato display (espresso was the best) along with Mochi ice cream (haven't seen that before). The girls loved the macaroons that were served.\n\nI was pretty impressed since this was my first time here. My friends that have dined here before thought the level had dropped a notch. I think that is how Vegas buffets go. When they first open up, service and food are at a peak. Then as time goes by, things tend to drop. I just like the fact that most of the items seems to be very fresh. I would definitely return, just not sure if I would wait 1-2 hrs for this.
