My buddy Tony T, which is a chef, recommended this place, which is in the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino. \n\nThe Cosmopolitan is a beautiful hotel, there was nothing wrong with the hotel, Except the BUFFET! They make it upscale, but it's not all that. There's no flavor at all. You have tourists, which have lost all there $$ on Gambling. They feel they should recuperate there losses with eating all the food they can. They make the portions very small, in little plates (tapas style), but you can only fill 4 items on your plate. That's a lot of dishes to work with.\n\n\nWell, since I lost so much $, i wanted to eat so I can have some energy to play again. \n\n1. SERVICE: Our waiter was not to be seen. We had to flag down a Manager after 20 mins of dehydration, once we spoke with the manager, we had prompt response with our drinks, with 2 other waiters. We still didn't see our waiter for another 30 mins. Once we did, we actually had to ask for sugar because there was none available for our Ice Coffee and Ice Tea.\n\n2. PHO STATION: The Soup was not hot and they place the Greens under a food hot lamp. All the greens were wilted. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??\n\n3. LABELS: Most of the dishes have no labels. You pretty much have to guess what the dish is. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I thought this salad was with taro, but it wasn't. I had no idea what that stuff was? Even their soups, you had to guess. There were 2 choices of soup, Pho Base or Miso Soup. of course, they don't label it. I betcha most of the \"WHITE\" people put the miso soup with the Pho Rice noodles. that's a major faux-pau in the culinary industry. Just my opinion.\n\n\n4. DESERT BAR: Again, they have no labels next to the items, so you have to guess what the heck it is. You had to flag down someone behind the bar in order for them to hand you a desert behind the display case. They should leave that out, if you have to wait there for 5 mins to get a desert.\n\nThey had this Egg custard , in an Egg shell, that Tone recommended, which had different layers of flavors. I was so intrigued. So I got one. But to my dismay, it was just soup. It was a creamy shot of Blah.. he said it was not made right, since the first time it was made. it was suppose to be layers, but they did not let the layers set.\n\n5. RESTROOMS: They have a very very small restroom for the Buffet. only 4 people can fit in the bathroom at 1 time. When I was there, only 1 urinal was available. so a max of 3 people can be in at one time. This is okay, but after i finished my meal, the Desert Egg Shell Custard shot did not agree with me. \n\nAt least I can recommend the Egg custard as a Laxative.
