Century eggs are not marinated in soy, they are preserved eggs. They are not meant to be salty. Salted eggs are salty, not century eggs. During Chinese Nee Year, we do not eat porridge as it signifies bad luck for the year, I.e, cannot afford to eat rice

[@carolschaupner4686]

I would have to eat $80 worth of seafood to make this worth it. Thanks for showing. I will give it a try.

[@hzenn5516]

Century eggs are NOT made through fermentation by soaking eggs in soy sauce. Rather, they are eggs cured in salt, ash, clay and food-grade lye or quicklime for several weeks (depending on recipe) as a means of preserving eggs. This preservation process is not a fermentation process because no alcohol or carbon dioxide are produced.

Uhmmm, $80 ? No thanks, but thank you for the tour ! We were in Caesars 2 days ago, not very familiar with their layout, always get lost ! We were following a crowd, thought we were heading for an exit and realized we were walking right into the Bachannal Buffet ! I thought it was strange walking by a display case of fresh seafood.........maybe could've grabbed a plate ? 🍽 🤭 Avoiding casinos during busy Pro Bowl weekend and cutting out of town before high prices of Superbowl weekend and cray cray tourists.

[@adamdavis8434]

I’m about half way through the video and so far they seem a bit disappointed, which makes sense. If I paid $80 per person, “not bad” would not be good enough

[@Maxeys_mommy]

Tried Bacchanel last month and was such a terrible disappointment. Used to be our favorite buffet in Vegas but quality of everything has gone so downhill!! Everything was sort of just mediocre. Could not even chew the Korean galbi because it was so incredibly tough and many items were missing proper seasoning. Looked so good from other reviewers but was huge disappointment. Also couldn’t believe how disgustingly stained and worn their upholstered seating by the dessert section has gotten. Surprised management finds that acceptable. Anyway, enjoyed watching your review as always and appreciate sharing your honest thoughts! 👍💕💕💕

[@RyanLackey]

Bacchanal is maybe 70-80% of what it used to be, but Bellagio is about 30%. I've stopped going to the Vegas buffets entirely, sadly.

[@Maxeys_mommy]

Ryan Lackey Very true!!

[@Maxeys_mommy]

Ryan Lackey Quality of Wynn buffet actually improved since before the pandemic. Almost everything was prepared well. Prime rib was even almost Lawry’s restaurant level. A pleasant surprise in light of how other buffets have gone downhill.

[@joeltanen]

I agree. Went there last night and Yuk. Even the ice cream stunk.

[@Mustache_Dave]

Bill & Lisa! Keep up the great work!

[@TheMidlifeRide]

We haven’t been to this buffet in a very long time. I remember thinking it wasn’t worth the price back then, but I honestly couldn’t remember anything about the food. I’m so glad I watched this. Surprisingly, you didn’t turn me off to the possibility of trying it again. I thought the food looked really good. I was surprised to hear Lisa say it was rare not to have a build-your-own salad bar because I can’t remember the last time we saw one. And, Bill with the buffet pizza…Chris has the same opinion on that subject. Too funny! Now, the hazelnut filled beignet had me interested, but I don’t think you even mentioned it after. Must not have been great. I’m fine with just the mint chip - one of my favorite desserts. Thanks for the honest and thorough review, guys!

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Cathryn! The beignets were okay, but then again, we're kinda spoiled by New Orleans. lol. Tim Lee just dropped a Bacchanal video yesterday and he did a great job highlighting the buffet. If you haven't already, check it out. He showed a lot more dessert options!

[@SacOrcas]

Thanks for the review B&L. Much appreciated. Sounds like the food is good, but not what it used to be. Hopefully within a year or two (when things calm down and get back to some sense of "normal), it'll be more consistent.

[@markakira8988]

2:52! Every fancy buffet I go to, I always ask the carver to hook me up with all the Prime Rib fatty burnt ends no one wants. The carvers usually laugh and happily do it. My rule is, when I'm eating those ends, no one talks to me as I am temporarily in Maslow's self-actualization heaven-on-earth mode. After plate 3 I'll pop a few antacids I've prepared in advance...to drive me home to at least 5 plates, get my money's worth, beat the system. Sad. //Whoever cut the lobster claw at 19:13 did a perfect job.

[@parlayin]

Ooh great planning haha. I hope to see Bill and Lisa request those fatty burnt ends at the next buffet!

Great move, Mark! We love burnt ends too!

[@chrissygerwitz520]

Burnt ends come from brisket, not prime rib. If you are really eating the ends of prime ribs, then you are just eating slabs of fat. There is a reason that nobody wants them. Gross.

Great review of Bacchanal! 👍. Will you go to Carversteak at Resort world? I know you are steak lovers as well! Shoutout please: simonella from Quebec City….

[@gorymarty56]

The sound was great in this.

[@fnbeansover]

The problem is for the price of the Bacchanal many people go in with unrealistic expectations that every food item will be Michelin quality. While the décor, ambience, amazingly huge selection, and presentation of food is amazingly done, at the end of the day it's a buffet. Our family went a couple day ago, the seafood had a off night, lobster claws were dry, tough, still defrosting from being frozen and the carving station meats were good but didn't stand out. On the other hand some items like the St Louis ribs and rotisserie chicken were outstanding. I personally think the desserts is the best part of the buffet.

[@billandlisa]

Agreed, this buffet (and others) are all about variety. If you're targeting a specific main dish like steak, it's probably best to just go to a steakhouse.

[@chrissygerwitz520]

It is not unrealistic to expect a buffet that is charging $80pp to be excellent from beginning to end. To say that "it is just a buffet" is not a valid excuse. However, if this buffet were to be priced from about $40-50pp, they could be forgiven for a few lackluster items. But since they are obviously going for a money-grab at the price they are charging, they do not get a break if everything is not top notch. That is something that Bill & Lisa don't understand either, BTW.

[@davidwags5703]

[@floresbp]

Wife and I went a week ago. The variety is great but the flavor wasn’t all there across the board. For the money, I wasn’t impressed overall, especially with their steamed seafoods (crabs, legs, etc). The tiny bite-size foods were usually flavorful and the meat carving station was probably the best part of the entire buffet. Doubt we’d go back, especially for the price. Experience, regarding mainly flavors was subpar. The service however is fantastic!!!

[@joeltanen]

I agree. Went there last night and it sucked.

Speaking of congee, you guys can watch the "Luxurious Peking Duck & Dim Sum Buffet in Vegas And Hidden Gem in the Bellagio where they have abalone congee!!!! And they also have a very traditional item called moss fungus hair which is fat choy!!!! Fat choy is the appropriate name. However, it don't taste good so fungus hair is more appropriate, haha!!!!

Went to the buffet before The pandemic (2019) and I though it was ok just to say I tried it…. But not worth going back…. After it closed, I was glad at least I had a chance to try it once. So when it re opened, I felt like going back….. big mistake, it was nothing but average….. lots of options but average nevertheless. We even h overheard the people next table say it wasn’t that good , so if you are used to good food, quality vs quantity…. This place is NOT it… not worth the price

A 40 plus story hotel that's built like a giant guitar. As good as anything in Vegas. No buffet tho. They'll be getting craps and roulette soon. Only BJ now.
