text: If you are a simpleton and like basic foods, this is the place for you.  I normally like to explore foods of a higher culinary expertise, though I do still appreciate the basics.  If you fit this category, read on..\n\nI was visiting Las Vegas with my parents and trying to show them why the buffets here are impressive, and after searching Yelp for the right one, I chose Cravings.  We were there at about 8pm on a Saturday night.  There was no line, which probably should have been an indication that it wasn't great, but at that point we had been looking for the \"perfect\" buffet and were just tired of searching.\n\nThey had a wide variety of categories to choose from: Italian, carved meat, Latin, Mediterranean, Seafood, Sushi, Chinese and Salad.  However, within each category was the most basic of each food.  \n\nItalian: Pizza, pastas with either marinara or alfredo sauces. (I was hoping for fire baked crust and made-to-order pizzas, rather than old, hard cheese and meat)\nCarved meat: Prime rib or Turkey (where was the sirloin steak and \nLatin: Texas chili (not Latin!), tamales, and enchiladas\nMediterranean: pita bread, babaganoush, hummous.  (that's it??)\nSeafood: chilled cocktail shrimp and crab legs (they were too salty) and baked tilapia and salmon (typical)\nChinese: stir friend veggies, beef chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken (comparable to Panda Express)\nSalad: romaine lettuce with your choice of dressing, and vegetable toppings (I was hoping for fruit toppings and candied nuts)\n\nAnd for dessert:  only a couple of selections of pie: dutch apple, raspberry chocolate silk, lemon merengue, and sugar free cheesecakes.  Throw in a few choices of rock-hard cookies and fresh fruit.\n\nI was expecting much more, to say the least.  I probably won't be coming back again, with or without my parents.  They weren't really impressed and we all felt that money spent on food did not match the quality.\n\nThis being said, I have been to the buffet at Aria, and was much more impressed...
