Thanks for keeping us informed.

    We were there on Thursday - 3 days before you posted. The lunch food was a bit of a disappointment. However the staff was very attentive and accommodating. We were standing in line with a 16 year old who has cerebral palsy, and uses a walker. We never asked for any special accommodations, but one of the staff brought us to the front of line. So, kudos to the staff!! At the carving station, I got a nice piece of beef (nice and medium rare); but my husband got an over-done, dry end piece. Not sure why they would even serve that? Maybe they didn't have the seafood/sushi section when you were there, but it was a long line. And not worth it. Wish they would've refreshed the shrimp. the mussels were pretty good, and so were the crawfish, but it was not worth the wait in line.

One of the best was early Bellagio with king crab, lamb, lobsters and so much high end foods. Buffets will never be the same.

Judge them on quality, food choices, price, etc. it would really help us vegas non regulars figure out where to eat at. Thx.

  • @masterlee4370
    @masterlee4370 2 года назад +4

    I think this Buffet would be more suited if you arrived 9:30 10:00am ish. At least to me. There were a lot of breakfast items with the omelette station so it would be a good start. Then I think it is just a matter of picking and choosing other items like Derek's fried chicken, Catherine's pork etc. Overall I could get my money's worth taking my time picking and choosing and focusing on the really good things. Now with that being said there are numerous places ya'll have gone to that were better, and Vegas has so many places to choose from. so, from watching this video I think I would just eat at Noodles and Tacos again, lol. That place was the bomb!!!!!

    Happy New Year to you!! I have not been to Las Vegas in a very long time it's been years. So I love watching your videos it gives me an insight of what's going on there. Knowing that the MGM is one of the older casinos there. It's sad to see that buffet so unorganized and so not clean. I would love to see a video on their weekend buffet let's see how much of a difference it would be compared of during the week.. Because the price you paid for the week day price was completely not worth it. Cause you don't know if it's because of the age of the hotel or the lack of staff they might not have the ability to bring out good food But they need to re look at what they're doing and revamp it.

    I ate there when I was last in Vegas. Wasn't amazing but fine if you're looking to sit down with family and friends on the strip. Price isn't ideal, but considering that it's on the Vegas strip, it's probably one of the more "fairly priced" places to get a sit-down meal.

    Have to say, it does look more for the breakfast/late riser place. Which to be fair isnt bad given that Vegas is 24/7... it was good they swapped out some different dishes during the session too for more choice... I am a big lover of breakfast food, and the potatoes looked very good. I didn't hear Catherine say if the Bacon Joint was any good, as you had that poor end piece of beef.... the 2nd cut looked like it was ready to jumpof your plate and run around the tables going MOOOOOOO!
    By the standard you guys have been used too over the years this was by your admission not worth the $28 during the week..... however, as a tourist I would say that for around £20 you could really have a substantial breakfast... as I spotted frsh fruits, some cereals and various breakfast foods..... with a dessert and drinks included..... so thats not bad.....
    I hope you review the weekend one (if you haven't already) as would be great to see the dinner style foods more.
    Stay safe and all the best.

    Never eaten there. Might try it next visit. Reminds me of the Garden Buffet at the Flamingo ( which is still closed), which was my favorite

    Happy New Year! Thanks for taking one for the team🤣🤣🤣
    It sort of reminds me of the Vegas Vacation buffet..."I'll have some of the yellah!" 😆
    I think Catherine is so nice that she can't really say it sucks when it does. No tortillas for the couple of Mexican items, no pizza, no Chinese, no Italian....no bueno! Also, it looks like they're trying to hide some of the food. Thanks again for sharing, it allows us to decide if it's worth it to us. For me, it's a hard NO, even if they offered it on MyVegas.

      My wife, who owned the best restaurant in the Hamptons, and unfortunately passed 3 years ago, was very kind like Catherine. Your faces as you eat an ok buffet remind me so much of how we looked under the same circumstances. You two do great work. Thanks!

    Just did the MGM buffet for a late brunch on the 1st - price was bumped to $51 per person and the selection was pared down even further from what you saw. I did not find the seafood but it was a lot busier than when you went so its possible I just missed it. The food I did have was ok with the meatloaf being the low point and the highlight for me being the desserts (bread pudding and apple cobbler). But at the end I still felt like it was the worst meal I had all weekend from a food quality and value perspective.

    Vegas was my sales territory for 12 years take an uber or a cab off the strip and get a good meal served to you for 1/2 the price ...
