text: The buffet I recommend is the Friday night seafood which is $16.99+tax drink included.  It has all the stuff you'd expect of a downtown Vegas buffet including shrimp cocktail, smoked salmon, snow crab legs, half shell oysters, prime rib, etc etc etc.. (prime rib was overcooked and tough so make sure you look at the color and how many strokes it takes the carver to cut your slice).  Good salad bar.  Desserts are okay.\n\nFood taste and quality is definitely 3 stars but overall it is a good deal and has lots of selections.  In my opinion having fancy seafood is not an indication of culinary skill, though it is a must have for a buffet of this caliber.  (It isn't hard to thaw a couple cases of precooked split crab legs or to blanch and shock a couple hundred pounds of shrimp in a steam kettle for shrimp cocktail.)  \n\nAmbiance is festive and fun, but verges on tacky with its plastic flower tropical theme.  Its a turn and burn buffet so don't expect much service so i'm not going to even rate that aspect here.\n\nIf you're hungry on a Friday night and happen to be checking the FSE out, definitely stop by and try it out!
