Exactly. I always wear a diaper and bring a Bucklet to throw up and diaper for waste. And I’ll be there until it gets to a physical confrontation and I still won’t Leave. Nobody has ever got me out and I live off lawsuits and humiliating me from getting barf and poop in me in public. And I always will keep adding some Vic’s vapor rub in my nostrils so I don’t have to deal with my stench.
The locals game the system. I don't know if they still allow this but the locals told me they pay for breakfast near the lunch time turnover ... They sit n wait for lunch. They don't eat from breakfast menu
True story. I lived in Las Vegas in the mid '90s. And the bacchanal used to be a place where men would have to wear toga's and were fed grapes by women in an upscale restaurant experience. You should see if you can find somebody who remembers the original bacchanel.. we love your channel ❤
Well, I remember being fed grapes at the pool for sure. Don’t remember them doing the buffet specifically that way. I think you’re right than Bachannal wasn’t a buffet at the time, but that was the era of all you can eat prime rib buffets for $15-20 so that’s a different story
I have been to the Bacchanal buffet several times. I really enjoy the selection of various items there. I have tried couple of other buffets in Las Vegas, like the Wynn, but somehow I end up going back to Bacchanal because I feel like it's the Gold Standard that all the others should be rated against. I do pretty much agree with you on the different items though. In general, I don't think you can go to a buffet and "try to get your money's worth." You'll just end up fasting all day, probably being miserable, and then loading up on one or two expensive items and being stuffed beyond belief. The reason to go to a buffet is so that you can sample a lot of different dishes. Having said that, Bacchanal wasn't the most expensive buffet I've been to. The most expensive was The Nordic out in Rhode Island.
wife and I were there last year in August and I thought it was worth the money we paid. My prime rib was juicy and very tasty. I stayed away from the pizza area, I didn't want to fill up on breads. I ate mostly from the meat station and the sea food areas. Everyone that worked there was friendly and courteous and kept offering me more of this or more of that. Next time we visit Vegas, The Bacchanal at Caesar's will be one of the places we eat again.
UA, I think the biggest problem you have in evaluating a typical Las Vegas buffet is your inability to eat shell fish. Those are typically what drives me price up
For the majority of high end buffet goers the shell fish offering is a LARGE part of the value. Kind of pointless to do a high end buffet review like this unless it is specifically targeted to people with shellfish allergies and/or people who dislike shell fish. UA does good reviews; please stick to the restaurants.
I am aware that you are allergic to shell foods but the foods that I saw on your video are typical varieties that you would see offered in $24.99- $34.99 buffets all over the country. At best, this should be a $55 buffet.
The only claim to fame Bacchanal has is it’s the largest and most expensive buffet in Vegas. The buffet Ive heard people say is decent but in France, there’s a buffet that has the world’s largest cheese charcuterie line and it’s about $20ish dollars cheaper. I myself cannot imagine their quality being beat. It’s at a place called Les Grands. At around 57,90€. ( $61) for the 5 star type food they serve it cannot be beat. Also their wine is sold at cellar price. You can buy a $100+ bottle of wine for as little as $15. If you’re ever in France I highly suggest it. It’s in Narbonne France.
I've been to that buffet about 15 years ago or so. Absolutely the best buffet I've ever been to. Mind you, I do enjoy cheaper buffets just as much as the more expensive ones out there. And I LOVE Chinese buffets (or places that specialize in Asian cuisines etc.) But the buffet in Narbonne, is just on another level. The service there is also top tier quality, the people are awesome (and most speak English, but not all, so be prepared if you ever go) and yes, the food is incredible for a buffet. They also have a literal TOWER of lobster (think of the chocolate fountains places have, they have two of those also btw regular chocolate and white chocolate fountains lol) and while I don't eat seafood it's seriously impressive stuff.
@@yaowsers77 It was more like 5 hours I think he said. But I didn't go by train, where I was staying was much closer to my friend's place and my cousin at the time, it was about a 20 minute drive from their home.
Seriously, buffets in other countries blow the US out of the water, and they are cheaper too. I think it's because non-Americans don't eat as much? Les Grand is so much better and cheaper than this that it's not even comparable. Banchanals is no more than an ayce crab leg + bone marrow + dessert place for me, everything is uneatable if you have had the good version of every dish in there. The 'asian' food is trash, the grill meats are trash, etc.
I see many people commenting on UA's shellfish issue. Some people cannot eat seafood and some don't even like it. My Dad was allergic to shellfish but that did not stop him from eating everything else that he loved. I personally do not eat clams, oysters, and mussels and I get sick after eating crabs. However, I am a foodie, and can appreciate all other delicious food. This Buffet has food for all palates.
@@jamespohl-md2eq ... You can get the value. The buffet is massive. Seafood / shellfish is just one section. There is so much more to experience. If you are a meat lover there are tons of options. Sushi lovers will be amazed at all the choices. There are sections for each palate: Italian, Asian, Caribbean, Mexican, Middle Eastern, French, tons of deserts. It is unbelievable.
My faves here were the prime rib. Caught it as they brought out a new one. Peking duck was good. My wife terrorized the crab. I may be confusing it with another but I thought they had filet mignon at one time. We both ate plenty of sushi. I may have left a lot of rice behind but ate a lot of tuna.
This is the only buffet in Vegas I have been to. I went there with a group of friends, and paid a little extra to get the "Wine pass" or whatever it's called - waiters will (or should) come around and give you endless glasses of wine. I think it's worth the extra money to get this if you're a drinker. In terms of the items, it is typical buffet fare, with a lot of cheap quality stuff that you want to avoid filling up on. There are a few "unique" dishes/creations you can try, but they're kind of like appetizers, and I would recommend just sticking to the tried and true items like the seafood and meat carving stations. The desserts are also really good, and when I was there they featured a section specializing in Asian-style cuisine. One extra thing to note is there is only one set of restrooms that serve the buffet area, and they are probably the busiest restrooms I've ever witnessed in the world. It sounds like a joke, but the amount of food being consumed and expelled can literally overload the plumbing in there.
Good report UA thank you. I like that you lowered the music a little, and the jazz piano style music is better than the ragtime tunes you've played in the past.Keep up the good work.
The Bacchanal is NOT the most expensive buffet in Vegas. Anthony's at M Resort (I believe) on Sunday mornings is $100. I would like to see you review that restaurant.
I like 👍 your tours with the buffets. you're so honest to give to opinions, not like ather of people saying everything is good when there filming Thank you 😊
I have never been in Las Vegas. Years ago I did hear from others who had been there that the casinos practically give away food to encourage people to come to the casino. Obviously that was in time past. When did it change? Why did it change?
Can't wait for the video! I've eaten there and had some strong opinions. Just curious, would you ever do a food video with a fan? Feel like there could be some great content made with your subscribers being a guest.
Roasted bones, dry meats and corn? Take a tip from vlogger Tim Lee, always ask for the cut you prefer (medium rare, fatty, etc.). Don’t just let them slap a pre-cut piece on your plate. That’s what all that meat up there is for. If you can’t eat shellfish, then at least demand the cut you want, and stay away from the damn pizza!
Living in Vegas 10 yrs now, I would suggest when you eat at the buffet. Have one bite of each item so you can try more items to review! AYCE at Palms Casino is the best buffet for quality and price.
Yeah got to say with food prices now a days $85 doesnt seem bad with the verity of spread and quality. Some places here in colorado will charge $12-$14 for 3 of those tiny street tacos haha
You would think a high-end buffet would be a lot better at managing their food. When I was in Florida, they had an Incredible buffet, and their timing and management of the food was a LOT better. You never saw lukewarm or dried out food sitting there.. And while $65 is a lot, it was SOOO worth it.
Gets the roast pig..misses the big pile of skin on the side...UA you can't expect sushi to be room temp at a buffet..at that point it's gone bad. Also, plural of sushi is..sushi.
I went to the Bacchanal when it was $75. I don't think I got my money's worth, but I found their bbq beef rib and steamship beef to be exceptional. You needed consommé to dip your birria taco in. Going to Zippy's this weekend! 😋
It's pricey in part because of you guys RUclips reviewers that over the years have been making it a big fuzz, I remember seen reviews from before COVID at 50$... definitely not worth it anymore, I don't see anything special anymore to justify the price. So thank you man because now I changed my mind and this is off my list! I'll go and try the oldest steak restaurant in vegas instead the you reviewed
Witnessing UA's eyes wide open while savoring those succulent meats is a gastronomic revelation - it's like the meats themselves whispered the secrets of the universe to him. It's not just a video; it's a culinary awakening, a meaty marvel! Cue the dramatic music - "It's alive... It's ALIVE!" Go UA, the fearless food explorer!
I never got to the Bacchanal Buffet but I have heard great things. Even though I have never eaten here (and I would probably different items), I always enjoy your videos because your reviews are so incredibly comprehensive and detailed. You always share the best details about every dimension you would ever want to know - how the food items are cooked, what the flavor is, how thin it is/size/weight, what the texture is like, temperature, etc. I almost feel like I was there!
I was actually surprised how little he ate. He could've at least planned for this video (eat less during the day) and go all out at the buffet just to show the viewers more dishes. The 1 scoop of mango gelato for dessert was so anti-climatic amongst the massive selection of desserts
The shellfish limitation is a serious cost-benefit hindrance for a high-end Vegas buffet. But nothing you can do about that. Frankly, I didn’t see anything that would make me rush out and stand in line for this buffet. Especially when the item that got the most enthusiastic reaction was street corn.
The last time I was at the Bachannal, there was this table near mine with all middle aged Vietnamese women, and they came there just for the crab, and they were not shy about it, carrying 2 plates at a time, stacked high of crab legs. And I noticed that someone from their party would just take turns and stand at the bar waiting for the next batch of crab from the kitchen and that person would clean it all up, leaving nothing but small broken bits behind, and they would bring it back to their group and then another person would get up to be at the counter to get the next batch of crab. I had mentioned something to their party that they were ruining the experience for everyone else who paid for the dinner buffet, and they acted like they didn't understand English. So I pointed them out to the management team and made them comp my table because we came here for the crab, and another table was hogging it all. They ate only crab and nothing else! Those Vietnamese women should be embarrassed of themselves. It's people like them that ruin the experience of the whole buffet, their table was covered in nothing but empty crab shells. It was very upsetting to go to the most expensive Las Vegas buffet and get robbed of what we paid for. They thought that they could get away with it, and finally someone had to call them out and stop them from hogging all the crab and not letting anyone else get some. Freaking Boomers are so selfish and lack self-awareness in public, they think only of themselves, and when you tell them to learn to share they curse back, "phuck you" in their heavy Vietnamese accent and that's why management had to boot their party from the restaurant.
UA, are you sure you are really allergic to shellfish? When was the last time you tried? What happens if you eat shellfish? I have heard some people can get deathly ill from peanuts and others from fava beans.
Great clip. The problem with Vegas buffets is the crowds. If you get there when it’s not a huge crowd it can be great. But the crowds ruin the whole experience. It’s wall to wall to wall
No aujus on the prime rib ,who its pizza at a buffet and no shell fish review. Your just picky. Dude ...neat picking . What do you expect for $85:. Bucks . Not worth it in my opinion. Plus you have to get up and serve yourself. Rather go to a restaurant and be served. Buffet's ars are overrated in Vegas and I've been going for over 20 years. I no all the really good off the Strip spots where ya don't get ripped off. ❤❤
Haven't they closed many of the buffets and not reopened since Covid? I remember back in the day every major resort seemed to have a buffet. I used to loved the Bellagio and I remember the Rio's being huge. I liked Caesar's too. I was not impressed with the buffets at Cosmopolitan or Excalibur (which was awful).
Hi UA love watching you eat. Im planning a trip to vegas in May. My birthday. We're from Canada and never been to Vegas. So, could you suggest some good places to dine? I also watch Tim Lee and he did the Bacchanal. I didn't see lobster when you were there.
I've been subscribed since youve had like 2000 subscribers I'm so happy to see how much you've grown and I love your reviews keep doing what your doing brother.
I live in vegas. I am allergic to shellfish too lol. I think the best place to go is either the Southpoint Buffet, or the Rampart Buffet. Both of those Buffets have everything that UA got at the Caesars buffet, but only cost 30 dollars . They both have excellent Prime Rib too, and excellent Chinese and Mexican food. I basically load up on Prime Rib when i go there. I eat 5 plates of it and I get them to slice me 4 big slices each time with creamy horseradish. Its so good! I get a few plates of excellent Birria tacos and a few plates of orange chicken. I am not really into desserts so I go with the Gelato. 👍
l think there has to be a distinction taken into account when comparing buffet prime rib and rack of lamb to something a la carte at say a Keen’s. To me they aren’t quite the same thing. Completely different ballparks. Feeding a buffet crowd is always going to have an effect (affect?) on quality on those two items in particular. Even worse for pizza which you shouldn’t even touch at a buffet. Maybe being too lenient is too kind but that’s the way l see it. Otherwise great job as usual UA. Look forward to the next review. All the best to you.
Went there for Xmas weekend. 90$ a person. They had tri tip as well my prime rib was juicy, possibly you had a piece that was sitting. But I primarily overloaded on lobsters to make up the price LOL
I miss the old Vegas. Not even talking that old, like 90s and early 2000s. Used to get a room at the IP and they would give you credit vouchers for the hotel restaurants that were worth more than what you paid for the room. In the early-mid 90s, used to play $2 blackjack at Caesar's Palace all day with my friends. We made side bets for the dealers frequently and talked to the pit boss and would usually get comped on free breakfast or lunch, even though we were at the lowest priced table. Oh, and rooms at Caesar's were about $60 with no resort fees.
Appreciate these reviews, I’m just not a buffet fan. I’m always going to opt for a nice, white table cloth brunch place, or steakhouse, depending on what time of day it is
UA I so enjoy your Chanel and watched you grow in many ways . I go from Miami to Vegas very often on business and was actually at Ceasar’s about 2-3 summers ago on the tail end of Covid but Vegas was still very quiet and the hotel prices were ridiculously cheap . But on that visit they had regrant opening of the totally brand new Bachanal and my casino host insisted myself and my girlfriend try out the Bachanal the third day it was reopened my girlfriend really doesn’t care for AYCE buffets period and I think you may have missed out on a lot of items which were incredible for instance the Korean Galbi short ribs absolutely delicious as well as the individual tuna pokes and as far as the lamb chop you probably might have gone back to the carvery and requested the very nice and helpful staff members to find some medium rare lamb chops and you would really have enjoyed them . Unfortunately you suffer with an allergy to shell fish but for an $85.00 buffet there was everything from the hot snow crabs which you showed being put on peoples plates by the staff which is in my opinion not being done to conserve the item but because their steaming hot and replenished from a boiler constantly. Also there are so many expensive cold shell fish to chose from like unlimited larger then jumbo peeled shrimp , fresh shucked oysters I saw 3 varieties offered , lobster claws , Scalops and more . By the time you got to that pig which I think they changed their roasting method as it used to be part of the Filipino foods section as they had all the Asian items broken down by actual countries not regions for instance they had an adobe chicken that transported you back to the Filipines as well as other favorites . Look I know you don’t have the time to try all of the 250-300 dishes served at that buffet but as you said probably the best buffet in Vegas and I agree if I wasn’t comped every time I’ve eaten there in my opinion the $85.00 is well worth it with especially the huge increase in costs and labor today . Heck for $85.00 a person it’s worth taking a large group of people there for a special occasion as they have food for almost everyone’s diet and tastes including Vegan . But anyhow great review as always I’ve never left such a long comment lol before . Keep up the great work and FYI I totally agree with you regarding which is better Katz`s or Langer`s and just by a bit Langers has a more escalated product . Sincerely Robert Katz
Thanks Robert for your detailed comment and for taking the time to share your thoughts! I always love hearing from you all and your personal anecdotes. I think the Bacchanal has different items on different days. They may even have different items at different hours! There were no Korean short ribs when I went or else I 100% would have nabbed them and reviewed them. I actually did end up trying the poke on the off-camera trip when I got the pho. It didn't make the final cut as the video was already 30 minutes long. I think ultimately we agree. $85 is very steep and that's a lot of money, but then again it's still a great buffet and if you're in Vegas and willing to splurge, hey I say it might be worth it! But I get that everyone has their own opinion and there's no right or wrong choice there. In my opinion though it's worth experiencing at least once. I actually saw a newly married couple and their guests eating there and imo that's a fantastic wedding dinner!
Interesting that bone marrow and pork belly were once thought of as pet food. I used to get bones from the butchers to roast and they'd scoop out the marrow and throw it out.
I've been to Bacchanal a few times and they are very good. Their selection is probably the largest and I heard their ox tail soup is the best. I talked with someone in line that said he goes there just for the ox tail soup. I will say they are very very good, but the Wynn buffet beats them. The quality of the meats (prime rib, beef short rib, crab legs, etc) was just perfect at the Wynn. I will also add that I am probably one of the few people that believe that wagyu is overrated. Bachannals had a wagyu roast and I had to try a piece. Pretty sure it wasn't Japanese wagyu (though I've tried some A5 before). I have to say it wasn't very good. It was chewy, no flavor....the only thing about the Wynn that I was disappointed with was the lack of Creme Brulee for desert. Not sure if it was just that night...
I'm allergic to shellfish as well. I ate it my entire life, but the allergy did not manifest until I was in my mid-50's at a New Year's Eve extravaganza. I overdid an all you can eat cajun shrimp and other goodies feast at my son's house. Ugh.
The Bacchanal Buffet is worth every penny. I went in July 2023. It is the most fabulous buffet I have ever been to in my life. Keep in mind that they only give you an hour and a half to dine.
@@DrDonWario_MDI mean how long do you need to eat😂? 2 plates of food and some dessert and you should be tapping out and not needing to eat for 18 hours
@@trentbateman ... Who eats just 2 plates of food at an $85.00 ALL YOU CAN EAT buffet? No one. Especially foodies. I am assuming you have never been to the Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars. The amount of food they serve is massive. It is not just tons of ordinary dishes. The food is absolutely amazing. I could not even try everything because there was too much to experience. Unfortunately, I did not get to the desserts (but I am not a huge fan of a sweets anyway). I guess I could have tried littles bites of everything on the menu, if I had taken breaks in between.
The best buffet I've been to so far is the Saffron buffet in Atlantis hotel in Dubai, The Palm. If you ever go to Dubai go there on a Tuesday which is their seafood night, they have sushi chefs making rolls all night, good rolls not the typical ones. $75.
Love your videos . Btw the sushi is cold because that's required from the health dept ,room temp in a restaurant will hurt your score a minimum of 5 points. Keep up the good work
The best thing I have eaten is the birria tacos and corn and crabs legs, however it’s cheaper to go many places in Vegas for Crab and hit a Mexican place for tacos, save yourself $90.
I think u would never get the true value or enjoyment from a buffet since u can't eat shellfish. Like ur missing out on all those yummy shrimps and crabs. If I became suddenly allergic to shellfish, I would cry so hard.
I understand the no shellfish thing. But you didn't try any fish dishes except one piece of sashimi. The prime rib was dry. Thats what the big bowl of aujou is for. The brisket and lamb dried out while you were filming the expansive dining area. I would have liked to see more of the dessert options other than 1 scoop of gelato. In the beginning you said its a rookie mistake to fill up on the starches. But you focused in on the pizza and tacos. I love watching you and have been a sub from the beginning. But now that your doung this full time. Please be a little more comprehensive. Thanks Ua. I love your vlogs!
Yeah you didn't eat enough to get your money's worth. I'm going next weekend. Load up on the bone marrow and shellfish first before touching anything else. I'm gonna eat $85+ dollars worth lol. Coming in fasted too. Love the channel. Going to NYC finally in a few months, your reviews have been helpful.
Yeah man. UA is too frigging nice! Those meats all looked over cooked and he was too polite to ask for medium rare pieces. Keep up the good work UA , I enjoy your opinion on food reviews!!
How are you gonna be a food reviewer and you dont know to dip the prime rib in Au Jus and the birria taco in consummè? Like what are we doing here this is basic stuff 😑
The more, don't know if it's the most, expensive buffet is at the Wynn. I wish I'd have picked the Bacchanal instead. Our bill at Wynn was over $170 for two.
I’ve eaten here twice. First when it opened and then the following year. One time was comped but honestly not worth it for the money. Great selection of food and good quality but it’s better to go to a sit down restaurant for the same price personally.
I honestly don’t find value in a buffet when they are very strict with their 90 minute time limit. I’d go to the Wynn buffet every time just for the ability to reserve AND prepay AND not feel rushed after paying $$$ for a buffet that is similarly priced as Caesars.

It is. Ridiculous to pay that much for a buffet. Definitely NOT worth the money.
Exactly. I always wear a diaper and bring a Bucklet to throw up and diaper for waste. And I’ll be there until it gets to a physical confrontation and I still won’t Leave. Nobody has ever got me out and I live off lawsuits and humiliating me from getting barf and poop in me in public.

Everything in Vegas is more expensive.
The ingredients used are of higher quality just poor execution. $60 😆😆
There are 250 items at the Bacchanal. And, your 25-35 doesn’t have the quality of ingredients nor do they remotely match the selections of desserts.

@@jamespohl-md2eq ... You can get the value. The buffet is massive.
Seafood / shellfish is just one section. There is so much more to experience.
If you are a meat lover there are tons of options. Sushi lovers will be amazed at all the choices.
There are sections for each palate: Italian, Asian, Caribbean, Mexican, Middle Eastern, French, tons of deserts.
It is unbelievable.
@@earth2air2waterNope. You can’t eat what it costs them.
You clearly have no idea of the economics of buffets.
@@jamespohl-md2eq ..... I am well aware of the economics of buffets.
The bone marrow looked so good! The tacos and the corn seemed amazing! Thanks UA.
My faves here were the prime rib. Caught it as they brought out a new one. Peking duck was good. My wife terrorized the crab. I may be confusing it with another but I thought they had filet mignon at one time. We both ate plenty of sushi. I may have left a lot of rice behind but ate a lot of tuna.
'IM UA' puts a smile on my face every damned time! Keep up the grind brother
This is the only buffet in Vegas I have been to. I went there with a group of friends, and paid a little extra to get the "Wine pass" or whatever it's called - waiters will (or should) come around and give you endless glasses of wine. I think it's worth the extra money to get this if you're a drinker. In terms of the items, it is typical buffet fare, with a lot of cheap quality stuff that you want to avoid filling up on. There are a few "unique" dishes/creations you can try, but they're kind of like appetizers, and I would recommend just sticking to the tried and true items like the seafood and meat carving stations. The desserts are also really good, and when I was there they featured a section specializing in Asian-style cuisine. One extra thing to note is there is only one set of restrooms that serve the buffet area, and they are probably the busiest restrooms I've ever witnessed in the world. It sounds like a joke, but the amount of food being consumed and expelled can literally overload the plumbing in there.
You forgot the sauce for the taco. There should be a dipping soup like sauce close to the taco.
When I was a kid, all you can eat places were called smorgasbord but I don't hear that word used anymore.
For best value, I prefer Palms or SouthPoint (especially their seafood nights!)
Oh I hear good thing about the Palm's buffet!
Good report UA thank you. I like that you lowered the music a little, and the jazz piano style music is better than the ragtime tunes you've played in the past.Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your honest review UA. It’s help me a lot especially for first time vegas visitor
The Bacchanal is NOT the most expensive buffet in Vegas. Anthony's at M Resort (I believe) on Sunday mornings is $100. I would like to see you review that restaurant.
No way since he’s allergic. Ppl primarily go for the lobster tails
@@n1ck1216lobster is not shellfish
@@eddiew2325does it not come in a shell? Cuz I’m not really sure what kind of lobster you’ve been seeing but last I checked, they have shells 🤦🏼♀️
UA could you do a review of the Texas Roadhouse chain? I’ve heard a lot of praise for it and I’m wondering if it really is as good as people say
I like 👍 your tours with the buffets. you're so honest to give to opinions, not like ather of people saying everything is good when there filming
Thank you 😊
I started on-time, but had to finish later, work got me, haha. Thanks UA, another great review!
No worries! We're all busy, I totally understand. Thanks for making it whenever you were able!
In Hawaii there’s buffets at the $110 per person range. Wowza!
Wow... Are they worth it?
@@uaeatslol you need to go there and find out for us. Take one for the team! 😉😂😁
@@uaeats more sushi and fish maybe not
I have never been in Las Vegas. Years ago I did hear from others who had been there that the casinos practically give away food to encourage people to come to the casino. Obviously that was in time past. When did it change? Why did it change?
Vegas decided to make itself more family oriented
Can't wait for the video! I've eaten there and had some strong opinions.
Just curious, would you ever do a food video with a fan? Feel like there could be some great content made with your subscribers being a guest.
great idea. It's probably not for everyone, but for the reviewers who are confident and don't mind meeting fans, that would be potentially great!
You can be openly curious these days, no one's judging.
I would love if UA did a collab with another creator
Love your Chanel, ua! Watch ur reviews on the regular ! Your las Vegas reviews are making my wife and I want to plan a Vegas vacation!
Thank you. Excellent review of the buffet. Keep up the great work.
Have you try texas de Brazil yet?
Great video UA..😁
Roasted bones, dry meats and corn? Take a tip from vlogger Tim Lee, always ask for the cut you prefer (medium rare, fatty, etc.). Don’t just let them slap a pre-cut piece on your plate. That’s what all that meat up there is for. If you can’t eat shellfish, then at least demand the cut you want, and stay away from the damn pizza!
Living in Vegas 10 yrs now, I would suggest when you eat at the buffet. Have one bite of each item so you can try more items to review! AYCE at Palms Casino is the best buffet for quality and price.
Yeah got to say with food prices now a days $85 doesnt seem bad with the verity of spread and quality. Some places here in colorado will charge $12-$14 for 3 of those tiny street tacos haha
You would think a high-end buffet would be a lot better at managing their food. When I was in Florida, they had an Incredible buffet, and their timing and management of the food was a LOT better. You never saw lukewarm or dried out food sitting there.. And while $65 is a lot, it was SOOO worth it.
Gets the roast pig..misses the big pile of skin on the side...UA you can't expect sushi to be room temp at a buffet..at that point it's gone bad. Also, plural of sushi is..sushi.
He has little restaurant knowledge.
I went to the Bacchanal when it was $75. I don't think I got my money's worth, but I found their bbq beef rib and steamship beef to be exceptional. You needed consommé to dip your birria taco in. Going to Zippy's this weekend! 😋
He didn't eat sauce with anything I noticed....I'm guessing he doesn't care for it??? 😂
Try Amalfi in Caesars Palace. Was just there 3 weeks ago and was amazing enough that I’ll be back for the Super Bowl.
It's pricey in part because of you guys RUclips reviewers that over the years have been making it a big fuzz, I remember seen reviews from before COVID at 50$... definitely not worth it anymore, I don't see anything special anymore to justify the price. So thank you man because now I changed my mind and this is off my list! I'll go and try the oldest steak restaurant in vegas instead the you reviewed
It's not lame that they're controlling the crab legs, they just don't want people wasting food.
He’s clueless
Well the crabs sure didn't control them ...a CHA CHA CHA
This boys just a prick
If you can’t eat shellfish Ua I don’t think exspensive buffets are worth it for you maybe try a theme night at ayce at the palms
Witnessing UA's eyes wide open while savoring those succulent meats is a gastronomic revelation - it's like the meats themselves whispered the secrets of the universe to him. It's not just a video; it's a culinary awakening, a meaty marvel! Cue the dramatic music - "It's alive... It's ALIVE!" Go UA, the fearless food explorer!
Eyes wide open? 🤔
I never got to the Bacchanal Buffet but I have heard great things. Even though I have never eaten here (and I would probably different items), I always enjoy your videos because your reviews are so incredibly comprehensive and detailed. You always share the best details about every dimension you would ever want to know - how the food items are cooked, what the flavor is, how thin it is/size/weight, what the texture is like, temperature, etc. I almost feel like I was there!
I don’t like Buffets but I like watching buffet videos.
85 bucks and that’s all you ate 😂😂😂
I was actually surprised how little he ate. He could've at least planned for this video (eat less during the day) and go all out at the buffet just to show the viewers more dishes. The 1 scoop of mango gelato for dessert was so anti-climatic amongst the massive selection of desserts
the content pays him much more maybe comped anyway when he gets views seems to be doing well
You should collaborate with a channel called Vegas with Shin! Very similar videos and vibes and I think y'all would get along well.
The shellfish limitation is a serious cost-benefit hindrance for a high-end Vegas buffet. But nothing you can do about that. Frankly, I didn’t see anything that would make me rush out and stand in line for this buffet. Especially when the item that got the most enthusiastic reaction was street corn.
The last time I was at the Bachannal, there was this table near mine with all middle aged Vietnamese women, and they came there just for the crab, and they were not shy about it, carrying 2 plates at a time, stacked high of crab legs. And I noticed that someone from their party would just take turns and stand at the bar waiting for the next batch of crab from the kitchen and that person would clean it all up, leaving nothing but small broken bits behind, and they would bring it back to their group and then another person would get up to be at the counter to get the next batch of crab. I had mentioned something to their party that they were ruining the experience for everyone else who paid for the dinner buffet, and they acted like they didn't understand English. So I pointed them out to the management team and made them comp my table because we came here for the crab, and another table was hogging it all. They ate only crab and nothing else! Those Vietnamese women should be embarrassed of themselves. It's people like them that ruin the experience of the whole buffet, their table was covered in nothing but empty crab shells. It was very upsetting to go to the most expensive Las Vegas buffet and get robbed of what we paid for. They thought that they could get away with it, and finally someone had to call them out and stop them from hogging all the crab and not letting anyone else get some. Freaking Boomers are so selfish and lack self-awareness in public, they think only of themselves, and when you tell them to learn to share they curse back, "phuck you" in their heavy Vietnamese accent and that's why management had to boot their party from the restaurant.
The fishing season for snow crab / red king crab was canceled this year. Crab price went UPPPPPP.
UA, you gotta stop spoiling us with these frequent uploads. 😁😁 Looking forward to watching this.
UA, are you sure you are really allergic to shellfish? When was the last time you tried? What happens if you eat shellfish? I have heard some people can get deathly ill from peanuts and others from fava beans.
Great clip. The problem with Vegas buffets is the crowds. If you get there when it’s not a huge crowd it can be great. But the crowds ruin the whole experience. It’s wall to wall to wall
No aujus on the prime rib ,who its pizza at a buffet and no shell fish review. Your just picky. Dude ...neat picking . What do you expect for $85:. Bucks . Not worth it in my opinion. Plus you have to get up and serve yourself. Rather go to a restaurant and be served. Buffet's ars are overrated in Vegas and I've been going for over 20 years. I no all the really good off the Strip spots where ya don't get ripped off. ❤❤
Haven't they closed many of the buffets and not reopened since Covid? I remember back in the day every major resort seemed to have a buffet. I used to loved the Bellagio and I remember the Rio's being huge. I liked Caesar's too. I was not impressed with the buffets at Cosmopolitan or Excalibur (which was awful).
Your face of "I dont like it" and "oooohhh I like it" are the same. 🤣. Thanks for the review!
Hi UA love watching you eat. Im planning a trip to vegas in May. My birthday. We're from Canada and never been to Vegas. So, could you suggest some good places to dine?
I also watch Tim Lee and he did the Bacchanal. I didn't see lobster when you were there.
I've been subscribed since youve had like 2000 subscribers I'm so happy to see how much you've grown and I love your reviews keep doing what your doing brother.
Much appreciate your fairness, attending both sides of the coin, etc
Is Gratuity included or extra?
You really need to try Hitachi Sushi in Montgomery Alabama. Huge selection, sushi and grill. Great selection and a whole lot less expensive.
I live in vegas. I am allergic to shellfish too lol. I think the best place to go is either the Southpoint Buffet, or the Rampart Buffet. Both of those Buffets have everything that UA got at the Caesars buffet, but only cost 30 dollars . They both have excellent Prime Rib too, and excellent Chinese and Mexican food. I basically load up on Prime Rib when i go there. I eat 5 plates of it and I get them to slice me 4 big slices each time with creamy horseradish. Its so good! I get a few plates of excellent Birria tacos and a few plates of orange chicken. I am not really into desserts so I go with the Gelato. 👍
l think there has to be a distinction taken into account when comparing buffet prime rib and rack of lamb to something a la carte at say a Keen’s.
To me they aren’t quite the same thing. Completely different ballparks.
Feeding a buffet crowd is always going to have an effect (affect?) on quality on those two items in particular.
Even worse for pizza which you shouldn’t even touch at a buffet.
Maybe being too lenient is too kind but that’s the way l see it.
Otherwise great job as usual UA. Look forward to the next review.
All the best to you.
Bwahaha yeah! Lovingly your reviews 🎉 2nd watching 👀 🎉❤😂 I really WANT YOU come review MY SMOKED SALMON! CAN YOU PLEASE!
Went there for Xmas weekend. 90$ a person. They had tri tip as well my prime rib was juicy, possibly you had a piece that was sitting. But I primarily overloaded on lobsters to make up the price LOL
I miss the old Vegas. Not even talking that old, like 90s and early 2000s. Used to get a room at the IP and they would give you credit vouchers for the hotel restaurants that were worth more than what you paid for the room. In the early-mid 90s, used to play $2 blackjack at Caesar's Palace all day with my friends. We made side bets for the dealers frequently and talked to the pit boss and would usually get comped on free breakfast or lunch, even though we were at the lowest priced table. Oh, and rooms at Caesar's were about $60 with no resort fees.
Appreciate these reviews, I’m just not a buffet fan. I’m always going to opt for a nice, white table cloth brunch place, or steakhouse, depending on what time of day it is
UA I so enjoy your Chanel and watched you grow in many ways . I go from Miami to Vegas very often on business and was actually at Ceasar’s about 2-3 summers ago on the tail end of Covid but Vegas was still very quiet and the hotel prices were ridiculously cheap . But on that visit they had regrant opening of the totally brand new Bachanal and my casino host insisted myself and my girlfriend try out the Bachanal the third day it was reopened my girlfriend really doesn’t care for AYCE buffets period and I think you may have missed out on a lot of items which were incredible for instance the Korean Galbi short ribs absolutely delicious as well as the individual tuna pokes and as far as the lamb chop you probably might have gone back to the carvery and requested the very nice and helpful staff members to find some medium rare lamb chops and you would really have enjoyed them . Unfortunately you suffer with an allergy to shell fish but for an $85.00 buffet there was everything from the hot snow crabs which you showed being put on peoples plates by the staff which is in my opinion not being done to conserve the item but because their steaming hot and replenished from a boiler constantly. Also there are so many expensive cold shell fish to chose from like unlimited larger then jumbo peeled shrimp , fresh shucked oysters I saw 3 varieties offered , lobster claws , Scalops and more . By the time you got to that pig which I think they changed their roasting method as it used to be part of the Filipino foods section as they had all the Asian items broken down by actual countries not regions for instance they had an adobe chicken that transported you back to the Filipines as well as other favorites . Look I know you don’t have the time to try all of the 250-300 dishes served at that buffet but as you said probably the best buffet in Vegas and I agree if I wasn’t comped every time I’ve eaten there in my opinion the $85.00 is well worth it with especially the huge increase in costs and labor today . Heck for $85.00 a person it’s worth taking a large group of people there for a special occasion as they have food for almost everyone’s diet and tastes including Vegan . But anyhow great review as always I’ve never left such a long comment lol before . Keep up the great work and FYI I totally agree with you regarding which is better Katz`s or Langer`s and just by a bit Langers has a more escalated product . Sincerely Robert Katz
Thanks Robert for your detailed comment and for taking the time to share your thoughts! I always love hearing from you all and your personal anecdotes. I think the Bacchanal has different items on different days. They may even have different items at different hours! There were no Korean short ribs when I went or else I 100% would have nabbed them and reviewed them. I actually did end up trying the poke on the off-camera trip when I got the pho. It didn't make the final cut as the video was already 30 minutes long. I think ultimately we agree. $85 is very steep and that's a lot of money, but then again it's still a great buffet and if you're in Vegas and willing to splurge, hey I say it might be worth it! But I get that everyone has their own opinion and there's no right or wrong choice there. In my opinion though it's worth experiencing at least once. I actually saw a newly married couple and their guests eating there and imo that's a fantastic wedding dinner!
I see no reason to pay $85 to eat dry meat. At that price I expect the highest standards. Pass.
I agree it all looks dry and sitting out a long time
Let's cut to the chase. It's a complete ripoff.
It's a shame you're allergic to shellfish I'd love to see you review Tony Roma's $12 steak and lobster dinner on Fremont St!
Awesome video UA!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! Also your casino hotel was pretty sweet Cesar!
@@uaeats 😂😂😂
Interesting that bone marrow and pork belly were once thought of as pet food. I used to get bones from the butchers to roast and they'd scoop out the marrow and throw it out.
Same with chicken wings. My father would bring home 10 pound bags of wings he'd get for 99¢ from the butcher (1960's)
If you go to any restaurant and have a soup, salad, main course and desert it’d be $85.
I think it’s very easy to get your money worth at Bacchanal.
Welcome to another episode of ua eats I’m UA ………. Gets me every time 😂
I've been to Bacchanal a few times and they are very good. Their selection is probably the largest and I heard their ox tail soup is the best. I talked with someone in line that said he goes there just for the ox tail soup. I will say they are very very good, but the Wynn buffet beats them. The quality of the meats (prime rib, beef short rib, crab legs, etc) was just perfect at the Wynn. I will also add that I am probably one of the few people that believe that wagyu is overrated. Bachannals had a wagyu roast and I had to try a piece. Pretty sure it wasn't Japanese wagyu (though I've tried some A5 before). I have to say it wasn't very good. It was chewy, no flavor....the only thing about the Wynn that I was disappointed with was the lack of Creme Brulee for desert. Not sure if it was just that night...
Does it serve cocktails or beers at the buffet?
I used to do aycd champagne and it was a great time. They do sell beer and wine by the glass, just your standard selection at most buffets
I'm allergic to shellfish as well. I ate it my entire life, but the allergy did not manifest until I was in my mid-50's at a New Year's Eve extravaganza. I overdid an all you can eat cajun shrimp and other goodies feast at my son's house. Ugh.
The Bacchanal Buffet is worth every penny. I went in July 2023.
It is the most fabulous buffet I have ever been to in my life.
Keep in mind that they only give you an hour and a half to dine.
Tbh, I went over that 1.5 hour limit by quite a bit (about 2 hours at least) and no one cared
It's only worth the money if you're Warren Buffet or Bill Gates.
A time limit on a buffet, with that entry fee? Ridiculous
@@DrDonWario_MDI mean how long do you need to eat😂? 2 plates of food and some dessert and you should be tapping out and not needing to eat for 18 hours
@@trentbateman ... Who eats just 2 plates of food at an $85.00 ALL YOU CAN EAT buffet?
No one. Especially foodies. I am assuming you have never been to the Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars.
The amount of food they serve is massive. It is not just tons of ordinary dishes. The food is absolutely amazing. I could not even try everything because there was too much to experience. Unfortunately, I did not get to the desserts (but I am not a huge fan of a sweets anyway).
I guess I could have tried littles bites of everything on the menu, if I had taken breaks in between.
The best buffet I've been to so far is the Saffron buffet in Atlantis hotel in Dubai, The Palm. If you ever go to Dubai go there on a Tuesday which is their seafood night, they have sushi chefs making rolls all night, good rolls not the typical ones. $75.
Looks great
Wish it was half the price
And wish the lights were dimmed down lower
If you can't eat the shellfish you're wasting your money
💯
Love your videos . Btw the sushi is cold because that's required from the health dept ,room temp in a restaurant will hurt your score a minimum of 5 points. Keep up the good work
The best thing I have eaten is the birria tacos and corn and crabs legs, however it’s cheaper to go many places in Vegas for Crab and hit a Mexican place for tacos, save yourself $90.
I love the Bacchanal, but you should try the M Resort brunch buffet. I hear that has even more premium foods.
I think u would never get the true value or enjoyment from a buffet since u can't eat shellfish. Like ur missing out on all those yummy shrimps and crabs. If I became suddenly allergic to shellfish, I would cry so hard.
I understand the no shellfish thing. But you didn't try any fish dishes except one piece of sashimi. The prime rib was dry. Thats what the big bowl of aujou is for. The brisket and lamb dried out while you were filming the expansive dining area. I would have liked to see more of the dessert options other than 1 scoop of gelato. In the beginning you said its a rookie mistake to fill up on the starches. But you focused in on the pizza and tacos. I love watching you and have been a sub from the beginning. But now that your doung this full time. Please be a little more comprehensive. Thanks Ua. I love your vlogs!
Yeah you didn't eat enough to get your money's worth. I'm going next weekend. Load up on the bone marrow and shellfish first before touching anything else. I'm gonna eat $85+ dollars worth lol. Coming in fasted too. Love the channel. Going to NYC finally in a few months, your reviews have been helpful.
That prime rib looked horrible. The brisket was cut horrible as well. I would expect much more from something that expensive
Yeah man. UA is too frigging nice! Those meats all looked over cooked and he was too polite to ask for medium rare pieces. Keep up the good work UA , I enjoy your opinion on food reviews!!
How are you gonna be a food reviewer and you dont know to dip the prime rib in Au Jus and the birria taco in consummè? Like what are we doing here this is basic stuff 😑
Another good video UA!
Thank you!
Excellent channel.
I love your videos. However because you can’t eat shellfish it’s really a subpar review people want to get a take on the seafood.
Glad someone said this. Seems pointless and his opinion means nothing because of this.
Please try House of Prime Rib in San Francisco!!!!!
He doesn’t like prime rib….
The more, don't know if it's the most, expensive buffet is at the Wynn. I wish I'd have picked the Bacchanal instead. Our bill at Wynn was over $170 for two.
Not sure if you have time, but you should check out the buffet at The Wynn
Another great and honest review UA, keep up the great work! :)
I believe you can also request rarer slices if prime rib and lamb
I’ve eaten here twice. First when it opened and then the following year. One time was comped but honestly not worth it for the money. Great selection of food and good quality but it’s better to go to a sit down restaurant for the same price personally.
I love this review
Hey yall am i still banned???
No, lol! Try to mind your manners 😅
@@truthbetold6942 currently on a 24 hr ban... 😂😂😂
“Dry af” bro im dying 😂😂
I was a Diamond and they comped this for me. I thought it was mediocre. Try the Wynn buffet, the best buffet I have ever eatin at.
I honestly don’t find value in a buffet when they are very strict with their 90 minute time limit. I’d go to the Wynn buffet every time just for the ability to reserve AND prepay AND not feel rushed after paying $$$ for a buffet that is similarly priced as Caesars.
Been there done that. For 70 dollars you can get a better quality meal that you can't finish. It is fun to do once.
