You describe everything so beautifully, I am definitely tempted to give it a try! I actually prefer dishes like these that you ordered in lieu of the steam table offerings on so many buffets! This certainly looks like a winner, thanks for such a terrific review. 😘
Thanks for all your videos. Going to Las Vegas in Oct. for first time. Not so much interested in bar hopping or gambling. But extremely interested in swimming pool hopping. Can you do a video on all the fabulous swimming pools at Las Vegas Hotels and is it possible to check out multiple ones in a single day?
Ruby is such a foodie with the knowledge and effective descriptions. No elite food critic stuffiness. Props to Mr. Ruby who is always solid on the camera.
her spanish pronunciations are like the epitome of the cliche uncultured white person. Guajillo? Really? Let me guess u pronounce the L’s in tortilla and quesadilla too?
I had this brunch last month with my friend who is a Vegas local; she brings everyone to this brunch. It was a unique brunch experience for us and we loved the small plates allowing for trying tons of different dishes. I’ll do it again when I can visit her again. It’s a great brunch for people who aren’t huge breakfast food fans and for breakfast food enthusiasts, too.
Love that place. It’s such an enjoyable spin on a buffet and the options are unique & yummy. Sitting on the patio is pleasant. I like that they are tasting size.
Hi Ruby! I am meeting some friends in Las Vegas for the first time and have binge-watched your channel. It's so good! I'm gluten-free, so I especially appreciate it when you mention restaurants that have a lot of gluten-free options or places that clearly label those items.
My wife and I were at Border Grill last week (6/4/23) It was pretty good. I tried most everything except the sweet stuff. I just had a bite of my wife's. I think I had around 12 plates. I was full. Victor, our waiter, was great. Thanks Ruby!
Horchata is a rice drink. It's rice soaked overnight with water then you blend it with cinnamon sticks. Strain to isolate the water and sweeten to taste with sugar cinnamon and vanilla
This must be a growing popular way to make French Toast. I was in Miami recently and had a dish like this. I’m Jamaican, so I loved how it tasted like porridge meets French toast - that condensed milk / confining / rice / oatmeal kind of flavor is delicious- but so decadent hard to have more than a few drinks.
@Neeka Bubbles it might be. It sounds delicious but honestly it sounds like it would be extremely sweet for me. Horchata is a sweet rich drink considered an Agua Fresca in latino cultures. It's definitely good so yeah if you try it let me know. MS RUBY enjoyed it and I'm sure it was super good 🥰
I'm glad you enjoyed your experience! I completed my internship after culinary school at the original location in Santa Monica, and worked there as a line cook for 4 years. I helped train the original staff for the Vagas location as well as there lax location. This restaurant concept is amazing, utilizing the best providers they are a 100% scratch kitchen focused on sustainably. Price is a bit high but use premium ingredients. Susan and Mary sue are amazing (people/teachers)and do alot to give back to things they are passionate about.
Ruby I’m a retired fine dinning Chef from 🇬🇧 and I’ve worked with some of the best chefs inc Ramsay , and TBH I think your food reviews are very informative, knowledgeable, and that your taste buds are on point , in fact much better than a lot of the professionals and food critics , well done you ! Excellent.
'your taste buds are on point , in fact much better than a lot of the professionals and food critics' I'm honestly curious, how can you say that from watching videos? For all you (and we) know she could be talking nonsense (I highly doubt it). Unless you're there tasting what she's tasting and agreeing with what she's tasting how do you know her taste buds are on point? I'm honestly curious.
@@19MadMike I will tell you as your curious, she describes the ingredients, they are like an artists palate of colour, they know what mixing two colour or more will result in , what colour it will produce, as a chef I know what mixing different herbs and spices will create roughly what taste , she , Ruby , has described the herbs and spices and ingredients, by her awnsers I understand what flavour that would produce, and therefore her palate must be en point . Just like a wine sommelier will use words too describe the taste of wine , example Tabaco Box, Cherries , crushed berries , honey , passion fruit etc , he is conveying the different nuances of the wine , I hope this all makes sense , but also people less experienced would be less descriptive and have less of a flavour palate .
@@petrus666love Okay, thank you but how do you know what she is saying is actually accurate? I could make a video of myself eating some beans on toast and be like 'Mmm..Yeah, I'm tasting orange, cucumber, etc etc' How do you know I'm not just talking a load of nonsense?
I have to say out of all the all you can eat places you have been too, I like this one the best. I like the idea of them bringing the food to you and the idea of a smaller selection, but it looks like the quality is really good and also the dishes look made to order. A lot of those all you can eat places have aa lot of food and food is thrown all over the place making it look less appetizing. This place would be a definite place to me to hit first when I visit.
Ruby, you do an amazing job with your descriptions. Rather than oou-ing and aah-ing, you use your words and we feel like we are tasting right along with you. Great job. I look forward to your next review.
Man!! Everything looked delicious and the way you ate everything up made it look even tastier!! I will definitely give this place a shot when I go back to Vegas in 3-4 months. Can't wait! Wow!!
I just ate there last week, did not get the AYCE brunch but did have the Mexico City Torta and the Capriotada for dessert. Both were absolutely incredible. Also had my food within ten minutes of getting there. Service was beyond great.
Yes ABSOLUTELY loved this place. Had it in 2021-2023, they change the menu on certain items and keep a handful of them so have not had the chance to try some of the ones you had in video. Visiting vegas possibly late 2024 but for sure in 2025 fall. Can't wait to try again!
New subbie . . . and I have been viewing a lot of your back catalog. Just saw your Paris hotel review. My husband and I stayed at the Paris in 2013. We did the tip sandwich but with a $50 bill instead of a $20 to see what might happen. We were AMAZINGLY upgraded, to a full multi-room suite with two bathrooms - one for the lady with the things ladies would like . . . and a second for the man along the same lines. High up with a view of the Bellagio and nearby from our sitting room area. The foyer was as large as my main bedroom at home. It was an amazing trip. Thank you for sharing your great reviews with us!
I'm coming to Vegas for the first time in August and staying at Mandalay Bay. I definitely will try this... By the way, can you also do a review on Chinatown? Thanks!
Ruby, You are always on point with your hotel/casino reviews but your restaurant reviews are amazing! Do you have a background in food and beverage? Love the descriptions you give on the food (very detailed and very accurate). Keep doin what your doin!
I have eaten at border grill a few times over the years, last week being the most recent time. It has always been good. I had the tortilla soup and beef tacos and they were both excellent.
We ahd the brunch in April. My favorite was the salmon toast. It was Easter Sunday that we were there and they were very busy. I would say it was good, not great. Don't think I would go again though.
You are so good at food reviews. I hope someone picks you up at Food Network or some other tv show. You'd make a great reviewer on-air somewhere. You're very well-spoken and a true foodie.
Thanks for the video. Although this is AYCE there is no way to try all the selections in one sitting. Probably 2 or 3. But the food looks delicious. Ate there once (not the buffet) and rally enjoyed the food.
having a person who knows a bit about food really adds value to the content. I would sometimes go to the border grill when it was a quiet restaurant in Santa Monica, made popular by two sisters who broke from the usual Sonoran style food of mediocre quality that was everywhere before they came along. I guess Vegas paid better, because that California restaurant is long gone, I could tell by the food presentation in the first dish there would be some good items to review.
Just found you& love you! If I could ask for one thing, it would be to keep the ingredients of each dish up a bit longer for me to read and process. I look forward to seeing you more!❤
Hey Ruby! I'd love to see a video on The Vdara. My fiancee are doing our honeymoon in Vegas and are really considering the Vdara since we'll be there for five days.
I’ll be there end of July what’s new in July? Any recommendations on restaurants for birthday, shows, etc? Always love ur videos TravelRuby keep it coming 👏🏽
The breakfast enchilada looked good, like crab Rangoon... Shrimp on the small shell w/Bloody Mary taste, yummy... 1 order of Skirt Steak would do the trick 😋, l couldn't get my money's worth, at $46.99, can't eat that much any more without being very uncomfortable, ...
Thoughts on this all you can eat brunch? Would you try it?
Yummy 😋
You describe everything so beautifully, I am definitely tempted to give it a try! I actually prefer dishes like these that you ordered in lieu of the steam table offerings on so many buffets! This certainly looks like a winner, thanks for such a terrific review. 😘
Absolutely! Everything looks FRESH.
Yummy, but a bit much price wise.

Go Thanksgiving. Ask your server to bring out a 27 pound Turkey on a small plate.
Terrific review…really great descriptions of the individual plates 👍 really appreciate when a reviewer takes the time to actually review….thank you

As always, your descriptions of each dish are detailed and amazing! I can't wait to try this on our next trip =)

Spell: dining. Fine dining. Winning or whinging pom. Jamie's Italian restaurants by Jamie Oliver are overrated. Gordon Ramsay is rude as f*k.

You are a definite food connoisseur. I enjoy your knowledge about food and it’s relatable because of who you are ! Kudos !!!!
I have always wanted to try this brunch, but there are many items to try. Ruby, outstanding job describing all the dishes. Thanks.
Thank you ruby for all you do to bring us information about Las Vegas we know you work hard in doing so look forward to the next video.
These type of videos are your strength! Your description of each item was spot on! Well done🎉

Great video. We never even thought about the brunch here.. we have been for dinner and didn’t love it. This brunch looks delicious though!
That brunch looks amazing!!! I love tapas and will have to try this place if I go back to Vegas
Thanks for sharing this gem! Will definitely visit when i go to Vegas this fall.
Ruby, you do an amazing job with your descriptions. Rather than oou-ing and aah-ing, you use your words and we feel like we are tasting right along with you. Great job. I look forward to your next review.
Love your review.... excellent description of each item ..... definitely will try this place when I come to Vegas next month ....thanks
Everything looks delicious !
Man!! Everything looked delicious and the way you ate everything up made it look even tastier!! I will definitely give this place a shot when I go back to Vegas in 3-4 months. Can't wait! Wow!!
I love your takes on the food. Thanks!
This gal is excellent at describing the food.
I can taste it over the vid. Keep up the good work. Very entertaining.
Thanks for showing this and keep up the good videos! Looks awesome!
Your food reviews are as good as your hotel reviews!
Have reservations in a few weeks. Thanks for the preview. Everything looks great.
I always enjoy your super-descriptive food reviews! This looks amazing!
Love this place.
Been here several times so worth it
Absolutely love all your reviews...and...your slot play!

Looks good to me.
Escabeche basically means pickled, like Kimchi and Pickles can be made from almost anything.
WoW everything looks amazing!!!

i remember the chefs from the way back machine.. didnt know that they had a place in mandalay bay.... thanks for this vs another sunday brunch buffet
Happy Sunday Ruby Watching From Chicago ❤
I have eaten at border grill a few times over the years, last week being the most recent time. It has always been good. I had the tortilla soup and beef tacos and they were both excellent.
We still talk about this brunch and it’s been nearly 9 months since we went. 1000% worth it
Love how she explains everything. If this was audio only you can "see"/imagine what she's eating.
Another great vid.
Hi Ruby, this looks likes a great place to eat brunch💪 😋🥘🎰
I’ve been meaning to try that brunch out at some point, it looks so good, Ruby!!
They all look delicious.
Wow! This is right up my alley. Wouldn't need another full meal the rest of the day. Totally looks to be worth the $45. Great review.
Great content on your channel. It was a pleasure talking to you at the Grand Opening of Caroselle Bar at The Plaza.
The food looks good thank you for the review
Great review!
Thanks for making me hungry Ruby
I am glad that I saw this video. We are going to do it 5/24
I would love to see Part 2 of living in Las Vegas.😊
We ahd the brunch in April. My favorite was the salmon toast. It was Easter Sunday that we were there and they were very busy. I would say it was good, not great. Don't think I would go again though.
Beautiful review!!!
You are so good at food reviews. I hope someone picks you up at Food Network or some other tv show. You'd make a great reviewer on-air somewhere. You're very well-spoken and a true foodie.
Always love you videos Ruby👍 I wanted to do AYCE there when we stayed at Delano in April but it was during the week so it wasn't meant to be lol.
Good video Ruby!
Looks amazing
Tried it and loved it
My friends and I went here years ago. We were a little…uh….tipsy, but I recall everything being quite tasty. We had a great time!
Great review Ruby
Great review, will add to list, when are you going to have a burger with Alex from every burger in Vegas? I've asked before too, tyvm tc
I never see your videos pop up on my feed. I love your videos about Vegas.
Thanks for the video. Although this is AYCE there is no way to try all the selections in one sitting. Probably 2 or 3.
But the food looks delicious. Ate there once (not the buffet) and rally enjoyed the food.
I really enjoyed your review of this buffet I felt I gained 5 lb watching your video. Makes me really want to visit Vegas thank you very much
We have been twice this year. The food was good (loved the steak and eggs and the pancakes!), but the service was really slow.
Hey Ruby. Great review. Food look delicious. Looks like a must try. 🎉
must try if I get there!
FYI
Guajillo
Gwa he yo
Chilaquilles
Chee la kee yes
Thank you! Gwa-hilo was distracting from an otherwise lovely review!
Love love love border grill!
Define will try.

Mandalay Bay is beautiful ❤I LOVE "The S Bar" Maybe when I head back to Vegas next month, I'll go to this restaurant....looks delicious 😋 ❤
Just found you& love you! If I could ask for one thing, it would be to keep the ingredients of each dish up a bit longer for me to read and process. I look forward to seeing you more!❤
Hey Ruby! I'd love to see a video on The Vdara. My fiancee are doing our honeymoon in Vegas and are really considering the Vdara since we'll be there for five days.
I guess this is the spot for a brunch. ❤
Pronunciation tip: “Birria” is pronounced like “BEER-ee-ya”. 😊
That food from Mandalay Bay is so good.
Whooooooooooooaaaa all delish!!!!
Food looked good, an appreciated honest opinion on the food. $45 seems fair.
Great review…
Are you a chef by trade girl? I love how descriptive you are!!! ❤️
I’ll be there end of July what’s new in July? Any recommendations on restaurants for birthday, shows, etc? Always love ur videos TravelRuby keep it coming 👏🏽
Thank you for including the menu descriptions, especially since they show if the dishes are GF :)
Happy Sunday Ruby from a Summerlin local in Las Vegas
A real hidden gem!
Love this buffet.
THANKS FOR SHARING ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK RUBY. THE FOOD REALLY LOOKS GOOD 👍🏼😁
I liked the breakfast enchilada. I ordered it twice. Oh well! Haha!
Great video!
Good video, Ruby. You got your money's worth.
Interesting that it’s mostly Mexican food flavors. We had Mandalay Bay breakfast buffet in Feb 2020 and it was fantastic
it is called the border grill, after all...
The ad was a Vegas ad about places to eat. Have you been to Catch?
The breakfast enchilada looked good, like crab Rangoon... Shrimp on the small shell w/Bloody Mary taste, yummy...
1 order of Skirt Steak would do the trick 😋, l couldn't get my money's worth, at $46.99, can't eat that much any more without being very uncomfortable, ...
Enjoy it you express wander foul have great time in Las Vegas
She’s compensated for doing this. This video is a commercial for Border Grille.
All this rich food and Jalapeño! Methinks P&G need to partner up with these places to offer up a shot of Pepto to go with the spicy food.
