I'd give Bacchanal a 3.5 star rating if I could. I visited 3 buffets while in Vegas and this one was the best by far.\n\nWe came around 8pm on a Thursday. The wait was only 15 minutes. However, I was not very pleased with the waitstaff. No one approached us for the first 15-20 min we were there and we kept trying to flag someone down for water, but they were all rushing around with their heads down. Annoying. The waitress we did have was about as friendly as an angry lion...\n\nThe food was pretty good though. I was expecting to be blown away, as indicated by most of the reviews and pictures. There were lots of dishes for the Chinese New Year and the dim sum were delicious. I liked that they had made-to-order stations for different soups (pho, congee, etc) but no one was around to serve them. Prime rib was decent- it had a nice salt crust on it, but wasn't very tender (surprisingly the best prime rib we had was at the Spice Market buffet at Planet Hollywood!).\n\nI am a big seafood lover, so I took full advantage of that area. The crab legs were pretty standard. The shrimp were big and very flavorful. Mussels were small, but fresh. I was amazed to see that they had oysters, but not so impressed that 2 of them I had were not shucked very well and I got a bit of grit and shell when I slurped... Not good eats.\n\nI think I'd be willing to return to Bacchanal, but there are a lot of other great restaurants in Vegas!
