I still had one last hope though, the dessert bar. I'd say it was probably the only edible thing here, but by no means was it good. A bite or two of meat, a bite or two of salad, a bite or two of an egg roll, and I'm ready to walk out of the place hungry. I tried a little bit of a variety of foods, but nothing was worth finishing. Not that I'm a picky eater or I eat everything I see, there just simply wasn't much to choose from. Walking through the buffet just once, I felt like I had seen and tried it all. When I eat at a buffet in a casino, I expect to get food that is better quality than your neighborhood salad bar and buffet.

For me, one visit here is one visit too many. At the regular price of 20.99, I would have been upset. I would then drink as many mimosas as I could handle. So for 10.00, I would go back and get the prime rib, salmon and a salad. Bottom line: luckily since I went with a tour group, I got a coupon for 50% off. All you can drink champagne was a good thing. If i had started there and added veggies i would have been set. Too bad i had saved these two for my second plate. Mashed potatoes so hard and thick they wouldnt fall off the serving spoon. Ribs could have been good, good sauce, but cold and dry.

Fried chickem was cold, over cooked and dry. Most is cold by the time you get to you seat. Food: as others have stated, the selection is pretty good, the food was very average. Two cashiers handling a long line of guests? No sense of urgency causing the line to move at a snails pace. Ambience: A+ Newlu remodeled, modern furniture and decor Payment process: very slow. I'm going to judge based on its own merit. I will definitely be back.I'm not going to compare it to a vegas buffet, because that wouldn't even be fair. The bar was empty the two times I went to get a glass of champagne. I didn't see anyone abusing this feature. I think the all you can drink promotion is a nice way to bring people in. All in all I think this is a good buffet for the price. I tried several desserts and all seemed like they were baked fresh that day. they offer numerous cakes and pies and cookies. The sushi is not that good but everything else tasted fresh. I also tried the mashed potatoes and gravy, Caesar salad, Chinese selections and sushi. Usually buffets overcook the prime rib and it is very tough. I tried the prime rib and was surprised that it was cooked very close to restaurant quality. It also has some good seafood like crab legs and shrimp.

The buffet itself offers all you can drink beer, wine and champagne. When I went in I was happy to see they have plenty of seating and the chairs were comfortable. The Casino was not crowded and I walked right up to the hostess at the buffet and paid.
