    The expression on your face when you tasted the pudding said it all! And you not finishing anything also is a statement to how you felt about the buffet. I will say - you did a class act by not ripping it to shreds. Most would just blast them. Your actions spoke volumes without having to say how you felt about it. Again - thank you for sharing your videos. They are very helpful.

    11:30. The dude at the meat carving station sees you coming up and slowly backs up and stares at you. Then you ask for a slice of both and he just stands there and stares at you for 5 more seconds. Then walks up real slow and carves you some tiny pieces of each 😂.... his service was about as good as the food..

    The first, and last, times I ate at Circus Circus Buffet was on my first trip to Las Vegas in 1991. It’s definitely been remodeled since then; at that time, it was a sort of industrial blue-gray color, and the room itself was similar. The food was extremely basic at that time with dinner time selections including hamburgers and hot dogs. It was both inexpensive, about $9.95 at dinner, and quite cheap in quality. Breakfast was about $5.95 and similarly basic. But, being breakfast, the food selections were of better overall quality than dinner or lunch. Overall, though, what hasn’t changed is that it’s probably the cheapest and most crowded buffet on the strip.

    • @TheWaterbedguy
      @TheWaterbedguy 5 лет назад +1

      Your comments mirror mine 100%. We tried to make a family trip to Vegas every year from about '87-'93. CC wasn't all that bad then and we ate a few breakfasts there. We actually enjoyed staying in the Manor before they let it run down to being no better than tents in a third world country. My question is how much money have they pulled from that place by making minimal investments for the past 30 years? I mean a family of 4 pays nearly $100 for 4 meals. Profit margin is huge!!

    Derrick you really earned the thumbs up on this one and you showed the "I'll fall on the sword for all of you hero side". Am I mistaken or was there a definitive sign given at 11:41 at the carving station? The carver was reluctant to cut either the beef or the "Turkey/Ham"....it was that or he has a past that is not conducive with video recording of any sort.

      In 85 it was even worse! The food was crap as was the service. Also, while you ate there was horrible circus type music and recording telling you to get whatever you want but not to get more than you could eat. Really lame buffet then and now

    Quick question, have you done the buffet at the Silver Sevens, It's the only one I did do when I was over and would be interested to see what your thoughts were.

Love the “no tip” bonus. Amazing, you were there for 3 trips to the buffet and not one drink order was taken and never a plate cleared from your table. At least you saved $5. Or did they charge you for parking?
