Luxury Vegan Buffet | CrossRoads Kitchen @ Resorts World Las Vegas

[@VegaswithShin]

This was EXCELLENT! Such an awesome find. I can't believe the timing of this, I was asked the other day if there was a vegetarian friendly buffet by a friend recently and the best answer I had was that Bacchanal had humble vegan section. This is perfect! Thanks for the video brother!

[@andic8287]

Shin, your uploads have been super entertaining as well!

[@sugarpill6792]

If it helps, I think the Wynn buffet is also quite vegan friendly!

[@andrelobo3625]

Next time I go to Las Vegas I will definitely go to Crossroads restaurant

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Very good find👍. This looks like so much fun to try…quite different but fun 😀

[@ExploreVegas]

Thank you Tim! Hope you are doing well!

[@bicpapermate]

I can't believe it. Mr. and Mrs. Explore Vegas go to a buffet with no carvery and no seafood. I was fascinated by this because I figure they serve the ultimate in vegan meat substitutes. Mrs. Explore Vegas' review of the chicken made me want to try a taste. For $48, I would rather go to a buffet with plenty of meat and other animal products, but I can think of two vegan friends of mine that would be thrilled to visit this buffet in Vegas.

[@ExploreVegas]

Thank you Bic! We enjoyed the buffet, but it was definitely a different experience for us. Next week’s video has lots of animal products. 😁

[@TikiRainbows]

Vegas really knows how to treat their customers! I'm so excited this is a thing

[@juthamasstern6865]

Heaven for vegans! It’s nice when one of our family is vegan. Now she can enjoy herself. Even I’m not vegan but I can still find something to eat. Thank you to show us everything. ❤

[@ExploreVegas]

Absolutely! Thank you for watching!

[@godjhaka7376]

that's the thing: vegan food is meant for everyone to eat, whereas low vibrational plates of dead animals are only meant for the select few who don't care about their health or what is inside them.

[@frankcarone3769]

great review ,the food looked great thank you very much

[@ExploreVegas]

Thank you for supporting us while we try new things Frank!

[@3shellyiam]

I was plant based for many years and I have to say all these items looked great minus the bacon. It looked over cooked. I'm surprised there were not more vegetable dishes tho. It's nice to see more options for people with different diets.

[@ExploreVegas]

The bacon was extra crispy for sure. Thank you for watching!

[@extropiantranshuman]

but it was filled with salads! 2:35 not to mention the fruit salads too.

Thanks for showing an option for Vegans. I am not vegan, but when my vegan cousin came to visit, I took her to a Chinese vegan restaurant. I was pleased with the dishes we ordered...it had a very good taste. Of course, being a vegan is not my cup of tea. I have to give them credit for the thought and planning that went into the preparation.

[@ExploreVegas]

Thank you Sally. We hope this gives those who follow vegan diets another option. Thank you for watching!

I tried Crossroads with my husband and (vegan) daughter and I have to say…while not a vegan myself, they really put a lot of effort into this and it was pretty good for plant-based. And it was worth it to see my daughter so happy that she could eat everything without worry!

[@andic8287]

I think it’s pretty impressive too. A lot of thought had to go into this.

[@ExploreVegas]

For your daughter to eat anything without worry, that for sure would make it a worthwhile experience!

The buffet looks really good. But this kind of buffet in a Pennsylvania casino would cost about $24.99. There is another place not far from me that has a similar type breakfast buffet and it's like $18.99

[@ExploreVegas]

Seems about right. Everything in Vegas is super expensive these days.

Interesting that we have a vegan buffet. Even though I'm not vegan I wouldn't mind trying that one day to try something different.

[@ExploreVegas]

It was a unique experience for sure!

[@baruchbenyaakov]

Just wondering. For $48 is it real 100% maple syrup or artificially maple flavored syrup? TIA

[@ExploreVegas]

It’s real maple syrup. The syrup by itself is vegan. A lot of store bought syrups add contents that make it not vegan.

[@frankfurder3742]

LOL I have got to have Biscuits and gravy at a breakfast buffet

[@ExploreVegas]

The breakfast buffet at NYNY has biscuits and gravy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6vYgJuLed9mla8

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

hmm, im just starting the video but 48 bucks and vegan only? smart on their part as its cheap to serve that stuff, but i wouldnt pay that much. i was happy, however, to see a “new” buffet, being i have heard so many closed or will close. but, let me watch and see how it goes.

[@ExploreVegas]

Definitely a reasonable thought. Everything is so expensive in LV. We are starting to see some more buffets little by little. We’re hopeful they will keep coming.

Very cool- I’ve been so curious about this place. Thank you for showing us what they had and reviewing the various options! :) On the same note, have you guys been to Blackout: Dining in the Dark? I know it’s also supposed to be plant-based and I’ve always wondered if it’s worth trying. The only hard thing is that it would be impossible to make a video inside in the dark without night vision goggles like the servers.

[@ExploreVegas]

I’ve heard of blackout. Hope to try it some day!

At a vegan buffet, you have to eat the bread. Or at least a bagel.

[@ExploreVegas]

I caved and ate a bagel. 😂

it was a sad toaster in the corner - at least put it next to the bagels!!

[@laurablassberg8559]

Vegas is the number one Casino Market in the United States and the second largest casino state in United States is Pennsylvania, and the third-largest is Atlantic City New Jersey.

[@ExploreVegas]

Wow, didn’t know PA had such a large casino market.

[@extropiantranshuman]

those cheeses at 2:53 can be over $48 - and is worth it alone.

[@TikiRainbows]

I'd want to move in and never leave lol

[@thecorndogwalker1]

Awesome

[@ExploreVegas]

Thank you for watching!

[@extropiantranshuman]

here's improvements I'd make to this buffet (some are in another comment, but placing it in one place): - eat meati crispy chicken - instead of whatever tofu-looking one that one was - hooray foods or sweet earth bacon - sophie's kitchen salmon lox - over carrot lox (which isn't too real) - hashbrowns - in addition to the rosti - grilled vegetable slices - like eggplant, potato, etc. (which're at the paris buffet on the vegas strip) - juice shots (even in gel form) for dessert - not just unhealthy cakes, etc. - jams and seeds (like chia, sesame, etc.) bowls on the charcuterie board - marinated caprese salad - but artichoke and/or eggplant instead of mozzarella - ratatouille

[@ExploreVegas]

Good ideas!

[@michaelgutman4910]

[@johnkim163]

Back in the old days of the Hare Krishna movement, I sampled some very good food in their restaurant. All vegetarian of course.

[@ExploreVegas]

How was it?

[@Wooplot]

yummy

[@ExploreVegas]

Thank you for watching!

[@extropiantranshuman]

A little bit of finishing touches can make or break a vegan restaurant. You don't want people going there thinking vegans are uninspired and can't think of what good vegan food there is! That's actually the problem I had with the vegan restaurants in vegas and why I didn't go back. Now the vegan snack places - like in the bellagio and cosmopolitan (the juice places) - top notch!! But vegas really needs to work on inspiring the crowd with vegan meals. That said - the Wynn was extremely impressive for its vegan meals - no lie.

[@vonlipi]

Egan options are limited in Vegas so I am happy with that buffet…..that being said I would not go…unless I had a vegan friend!

[@ExploreVegas]

Understandable. Thank you for watching!

[@extropiantranshuman]

they seriously are.

[@NotTomS]

Good alternative for folks who lean that way... looks like a good variety, crafted products to look/taste close to their non-vegan counterparts... Disappointed by lack of original vegan creations... but I guess the chef needs to find what is marketable... But not my thing as I'm on keto... Too much processed food product subs, and high in carb and sugar count...

[@ExploreVegas]

Your assessment was pretty similar to mine. I think this is a great option for vegans or for a party that has vegans. Not my style in general, but they had a nice variety.

[@panjo]

Nice option for Vegans

[@ExploreVegas]

Agreed!

[@tfsonicyouth88]

The first vegan buffet in vegas that's interesting (1st ever maybe) Idk about the price tag maybe $40 even since many tourists aren't vegan. Mrs explore vegas rocked the review. I wonder if they can do a vegan omelet station.

[@ExploreVegas]

A vegan omelette station sounds like a great idea!

[@teenyverse7707]

For $50.... more like $35... IMO

[@ExploreVegas]

Thank you for watching!

[@extropiantranshuman]

hey - it's worth the price! lol. Gotta support the cause. They shouldn't cheap themselves out - what - would you rather go and spend over $100 at the l'atelier in mgm?

[@kupski1964]

that's about 25 bucks over the cost of what it should be.

[@everhirstseyt2667]

Yep. They made the smoked "salmon" using cheap carrots? Yuck.

[@ExploreVegas]

This one is expensive, but probably because it’s the only one of its kind in Vegas.

[@extropiantranshuman]

I agree - if they didn't cheap themselves out with the cheaper options - like overnight oats (of course I love it - but at least put it in the regular section) and had more options - you're totally right.

[@OMGs-Life]

i think the buffet is super cheap compared to vegas stsandards. for example I had 2 burgers, 2 portions of fries and 2 beer for 80 dollars + tip close to the flamingo and thought wow vegas is expensive. a kebap or falafel is $15 as a take away and its not even close to the size and quality we get in europe .. plus its around $5-8 in europe. another 2 slices of pizza with a drink are $30 for example. i think las vegas is one of the most expensive places in the world and i am speaking only of fast food not even real food. i am looking forward to visit the crossroads buffet on sunday.

[@glendamcdaniel9894]

I could do this, as I sometimes want to eat healthier.

The audience they (resorts world) are pandering to doesn't really exist on a resort level. A local small restaurant in a southern California area...sure. But on mass...this won't sustain. I don't see a profit margin here. Like it or not...business is business...

Its not whitefish. Everything in this buffet is made from vegan ingredients and made to look and taste like the real thing. Some items come extremely close while others are off.

It's imitation white fish. Without the animal cruelty & killing. Probably made out of soy, wheat, mix, etc.

I'm not fully impressed by everything. In fact I think they can do better in various places - because some of it's too plain. However, I think this is a huge leap and jumpstart to veganism in vegas and definitely is yet another vegan reason why I'd go back. Honestly - I'm more impressed by the venetian vegan restaurant, but with a few tweaks - no doubt this buffet can be a showstopper - plus charge more money. I'd rather pay more for quality than not be impressed. For instance - the bacon is so cheap looking. If they did sweet earth or for the soy/gluten free people like me - hooray foods - no doubt it'd be a showstopper. It shouldn't look like crisp bread, but rather have fatty bubbles and curls. They could do sophie's kitchen salmon slices for lox and have a side of capers and dill sprigs and a black pepper cracker. It's cheap and not hard - yet very luxurious. Little things like that just make or break the seamless experience.
