I eat about $5 worth of food at a time, so I wouldn’t. But, I’d love to have all those options!

[@paultrevino274]

Yes I have and we are going again July 12th a little pricey but if you choose right it worth it

[@deborahannwood3576]

I live in Nova Scotia Canada and a plate of Indian food. Let’s say tiki marsala and two glasses of wine cost about $80. I would definitely pay 85 for that.

[@gtclarke71810]

Right 👍🏿

[@user-ml8dm9fz6l]

The trick is don't eat anything with bread, and try not to drink a lot until the very end

[@miamivicefanatic9736]

I always laugh at people who say these high-end buffets are too expensive. A fast-food meal now costs $15 to 20. This buffet is only 5x that price but look at the quality and quantity that you're getting. I consider these high-end buffets one of the truly great deals in Las Vegas.

[@alanguenley635]

There’s no other way you can eat this much of a variety of dishes of this quality in a sitting for any less. It really is worth it when you want to indulge

[@Michael-db4sn]

I can't eat $85 worth of food in one sitting.

[@NicholausMedley]

That is an excellent point!! I'm glad I read the comment section! Now I can go there and not be freaked out paying the entry price. AND DON'T FORGET THEY DON'T TRY TO RUSH YOU OUT! Gareth was in there for almost 4 hours.

[@asepnurhasan2278]

Agreed...

[@KevinKingMagic]

Agree, Las Vegas is twice the price of your local area when it comes to eating out (including fast food). So $85 is actually a good deal.

[@baltimorejae7397]

I was their a few weeks back. I never go to buffets but kept hearing about this one. It's definitely worth the $85, and I I'll be back.

[@we5xz-1902]

Inflation. I paid $50 a few years ago. No need to go back at that price, but IT IS good!

[@baltimorejae7397]

@@we5xz-1902 The price depends on what time you go. Dinner is the most expensive because of the options.

[@we5xz-1902]

@@baltimorejae7397 makes sense but I still feel the same way about my experience there.

[@susancuenin2137]

Was there a couple years ago! Took me hours to work off that wonderful food.

[@blackcloud5873]

To get the meat out of a crab leg, first, massage the "thigh" (the bigger part of the leg). The massaging loosens the bond between the meat and the shell. After that, then break the leg in half quickly (not slowly). Then ease the meat out. In this way, you won't need to fish the meat out with the fork.

[@ryanjay707]

I would have at least 5 plates of seafood alone

[@patrik9258]

[@RickTexas]

That is an amazing buffet. The last time I was in Las Vegas they were building it, so I have not had a chance to visit yet. The food is all over the top in quality. I can see why they charge as much as they do. You did a great job comparing all the items. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it!

[@paulettecrockett4643]

The M Resort has a Sunday brunch that features all-you-can-eat lobster tails It's much smaller and there are way fewer food choices but it's about the quality at this buffet rather than quantity. You should try that one if you love lobster. They also feature prime rib, beef Wellington and racks of lamb.

[@stephaniecioffi4562]

There is a six month waiting list for the M buffet.

Been to Vegas 60+ times. My favorite buffet is Ceasar’s for sure. My favorite restaurant is Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant on Paradise Road. The owner is Gino and his son Mimo, who run the show. I guarantee you will blow your mind. Nice reviews, and best wishes to you.

Nice touch interviewing the chef Looks assume!

[@aprilloewen9219]

Glad to see you doing food reviews again 😊 Especially a buffet 😋

I first heard of Bacchanal when I asked where was the best lobster buffet. After this video *(ESPECIALLY* the brisket and roasted duck) it is #1 on my buffet list.

[@Eddy-p5s]

I was there a few days ago. Super super fire. Wynn buffet was terrible. Then I went to bachannal. Totally different deal. Stay away from Wynn buffet and only hit bachannal

[@jjpark1989]

The Wynn hotel is one of the nicest. Their food option is one of the worst.

[@JOHNWAYNE-pd2pg]

I agree.

I wasn't going until i put 100 on red. It hit red 32. Took my winnings and hit the buffet on house money. I ate for over a hour. Lots of lobster claws and crab legs. The tacos were out of sight. Desserts were a work of art.

[@Handle722]

As someone from LaPorte Indiana, I know the exact place you’re talking about. I loved going there as a kid and it’s sad that there’s a mediocre Mexican restaurant in its place now. The Ryan’s that was in Michigan city was also good as well.

[@coloradotrish7297]

First post of your's I've seen and well done! With a bit of a restaurant background I'm astounded that all of that food only requires 40 chefs? That can't be right. Really great you talked to the head chef but that's unbelievable. That chunk of meat is the hugest piece I have ever seen on a buffet. Still watching -- best from Colorado!

[@Kay-vs3zb]

I could eat $85.00 worth of lobster claws and crab legs in 5 minutes! My kind of buffet. 🦀

[@Redvines69]

I just feel like I couldn't eat enough to be worth the money.

Small world...I lived in LaPorte, IN. It was a brief stay. My family moved there the summer between my high school and college years so I was just there on breaks. It was 1975-1978. Waitressed at the Sambo's LOL. It's now some round-the-clock diner.

I ate lunch there in 2018 for $50 ( $5 tip included) it was a 2 hour time limit for lunch. My meal was marred by a minor mistake of sampling a Hot link. I had sample so many things by then. My mouth was on fire. The final 30 minutes were in the dessert section. I had to sample everything. With 5 minutes left to go. I did a Facebook live video. When, i got to the exit. That's where i saw them sitting up the Fish section. OMG !!

Haha great video. I live in Las Vegas and, believe it or not, there actually is life off the Strip. Lots of gambling and many many good restaurants that won't bankrupt you. Locals crowd ...different vibe completely. Every nite casino parking lots packed and people inside wining 'n dining themselves into oblivion. Some know when to leave, most don't. But one thing is for sure....everyone is having a great time....as long as the money holds out.

[@anthonyfoutch3152]

Don't eat pizza or bread or any carby food except dessert. The trick is go for a late lunch as they put out the dinner menu. You pay for lunch as they bring out the dinner menu.

1074 Buffet at the Aladdin . 1.00 all u could eat. Prime rib, Ham anything. Ladies who played Bingo would bring extra large purses with plastic bags and shovel all they could take. Yes the F&B lost money. But the hotel resort opened a 17 story 100000 SQ ft Casino in 1976. Complete with a Theatre for Performing Arts. So somewhere they made the $$$$.

[@umaxen0048]

$85 plus drink $5 and tip $8 is nearly $100. HELL NO I wouldn't pay that much. My friends and I have learned you have to screw Vegas when visiting. We make ourselves a GIANT breakfast in our hotel room consisting of 4 eggs, 4 strips of bacon, 4 breakfast sausages, 4 pieces of toast and a big cans of premium fruit in light syrup (drained and washed) coffee and juice in around 30 minutes. This comes to $4.40 per person. For lunch, we went to costco and bought a prepared large, pepperoni pizza, 2 bottles of booze and some non-alco drinks for a one day lunch meal, drinks and unlimited alco drinks of $10-ish per person. We also ate dinner a few times at a decent limited Chinese buffet for $16 and a Taco place for $12

The good old day you use to get a prime rib buffet in Vegas for about $12... I've paid $32 for a crab prime rib buffet in Deadwood SD... I've paid $32-35 for a big buffet at the Horseshoe in Council Bluffs Iowa... but $85 for a buffet???? That's over my budget... I remember the days in Vegas where the room's and food were cheap, drinks were free, and you could enjoy a nice vacation for about $1,000 playing nickel slots for 4 days... Now? It's very expensive and every machine has 140 lines... I miss the old Vegas... Dollar Slots were $2-$3 a pull and you could play for a day on $100...I remember one time I was on a streak... cashed a $100 travelers check...on $20 over the week... I made $8,000 on $200 jackpots...

[@Timeless80]

I live in Vegas never go to the strip so it was a treat when my niece arrived in town and took me to Wynns for breakfast and the Venetian the next day for lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience but spending $85 per person is overkill for me. Sadly the pandemic killed pretty much ALL the buffets and only a few remain and of those that remain command BiG MONEY. The locals support the "off strip" casinos and only a few still have buffets. But clearly the buffets (off strip) are not what they were pre pandemic. They really have scaled them back.
