I have no problem paying $85 for a buffet. I just hate that they limit you to 90 minutes. That's not a lot of time, especially when the buffet is busy. Jordan using up his valuable buffet time to narrate the video is the hero we all deserve.

[@ShowMeVegas]

Appreciate that! And we agree, the price isn’t so much the problem, it’s the time limit. Thanks for watching!

[@KimL1000]

As you get older we tend to eat slower so not happy about the time limit. Excellent video.

[@ShowMeVegas]

No doubt! The time limit is not enough. Thanks for watching!

[@johnbruce4003]

I’ll be at this buffet in the next couple of days. Will have my running shoes on! Thanks for the video!

[@terrywong1292]

Great video and review!! We are coming to Vegas at the end of the month and are definitely going to try this buffet although I'm not thrilled about the time limit!! I am amazed that you shot the video & ate in the 90 minutes. Bravo!!! Keep up the good work!!!

[@johnnyhernandez9670]

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!! I died laughing!

[@amarchhabra2175]

Agree with you. Everything in Vegas has become very expensive. I get that. However the value of this experience seems low. Shelling out $80 to $85 and then only getting 1.5 hrs seems like Caesars is really milking the guest for every penny. A big part of food on vacations is socializing and chatting with others at hour table. This does not seem possible with the time limit. Feel like the Wynn would be a better value since I don't think there is a time limit and food is very good.

[@mserranored]

I'm wondering if maybe the best way to film a buffet here would be to just film out of order. Grab your plates and film yourself eating, then at the 90 min mark, get up and do the buffet tour. Edit it back into the right order at home. The more the years have passed the less I think badly of spending that much for a buffet. Prices have skyrocketed everywhere so less than $100 for a meal with lots of high quality offerings isn't as shocking as it used to be. I think Wynn might be the best value though since it's about 50% less price-wise. Good review!

[@ShowMeVegas]

That absolutely would have been the best way to do it. I didn’t think I’d run out of time, but I did! Thanks for watching!

[@smartbbrain]

Wynn dinner's are $80. These buffets are similar to the ones in east asia (many are timed due to high demand) but they usually offer an optional higher price for extra time.

[@jesusisfaithful7]

EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD BUT I WOULDN'T PAY THAT HIGH PRICE. THANKS FOR SHARING, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👍🏼😁

[@terryrutherford2114]

I was waiting for someone to come and say "You sir, your time is up, you must go!" Think French accent. Haha! Good video. I personally would love the Latin section and hate the seafood section. My wife can have all that seafood! Haha!

[@luckislonggone9941]

Good video Jordon, we're three weeks away today, reservation made, got our plan in place for the 90 min extravaganza, my favorite is the crab legs and dessert!

[@ShowMeVegas]

Enjoy! Thanks for watching!

[@brisafox4185]

Excellent video...I love Peruvian food and ceviche is our favorite, many delicious dishes. Thanks for the information

[@ShowMeVegas]

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

[@Thomas_Heinonen]

Im amazed that people enjoy watching videos where people eat !

[@ChrisM541]

Nothing to do with that bud, this is aimed at folks going to Vegas and wondering what their money gets them. My take-home message here is blatant, deliberate post-Covid excuse profiteering.

[@tinaturull3793]

I enjoy it

[@thomastierney3857]

If you get diamond status with Caesars you get a free $100 celebration dinner every year. The Buffet is definitely worth it when it's FREE.

[@nando5745]

Agree that 1.5 hrs isn't enough time, I think 2.0 hrs is about right. With that said, you should bring Ashden a nice big doggy bag full.🍷

[@lisabarton916]

I don’t like chocolate! I did up until my mid thirties (I’m 54 now) and then I lost all desire for it. Did you try the carving stations? Was curious how the different meats were. We went to the Wynn buffet last year and was not impressed. This looks much better! Great video! Thanks!!

[@ShowMeVegas]

Like the Italian section, I ran out of time! The carving station definitely looked good. Thanks for watching!

[@JusticeForTrump]

I think it’s an interesting meal experience price seems fine for that much selection an the food looks like high quality so I got myself a reservation in October lol I’ll be in town for the Tropicana demolition week

[@anthonylagano2371]

Greetings ! I’m not a huge buffet fan but I did go to Bacchanal last year and thought it was good . If you think about it ..one entree at the high end restaurants can easily cost 80 bucks then add in the appetizer and so on . For me I do prefer the high end full dining experience rather than buffet style food with a time limit . That being said I still think this buffet is a decent value as long as they don’t keep jacking up the price. Thanks for posting 😎😎😎

[@ChrisM541]

That's the problem, they've all been jacking up prices multiple times using the 'post Covid' excuse, but as we all know, it's deliberate profiteering. I'd like that penny to drop for every tourist...before they think about visiting. That's the only way to get back to what prices were like. Pretty much all the food here is home sourced.

[@F417H]

you had me @ the salad bar

[@TheBlackDorothyZbornak]

In 2018 they used to have the snow crab legs sliced! But their renovation looks pretty good. I wanna go back, its been a while!

[@thewizard7798]

man that time limit is a joke. If youre paying 86$ for a buffet you should get at least 2.5h

[@ShowMeVegas]

Two hours would be reasonable. A hard-fast 90 minute limit is a joke, for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@Sheabuttahbaby]

We have the same taste in food. I love Asian food, seafood and strawberry shortcake is my favorite dessert. I also like Soul Food every now and then

[@darrellsandoval8318]

It's fascinating not just cool!

[@panjo]

I sea food, I eat it Bacchanal buffet has too many options, it's overwhelming

[@McCov1]

I find this interesting. A person gambles $85 on a slot machine, loses in 5 minutes. No complaints . A person thinking twice if it is worth paying $85 to eat all you want for 90 min, get your belly full with delicious food. If that buffet costs $200, I rather eat.

[@ShowMeVegas]

An interesting point, for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@ChrisM541]

Your 'value for money' definition is perverse in the extreme!

[@TheAyatollahofNofappollah]

Thanks 😊

[@mgarrett0717]

We've been to it, but for the price there are much better options in Vegas.

[@Lauren88O8]

Love the Bachannal buffet, but not fond of the time limit. There's no time for chopsticks or forks. Grab the food with both hands and stuff in our mouths as fast as we can 😂. Didn't have time for desserts when we were there a few weeks ago. Love watching your videos.

[@ShowMeVegas]

I understand there being a time limit, but 90 minutes is not long enough! Thanks for watching!

[@markcummings3146]

This is the one buffet I really want to check out as everyone says it's the best (my favourite is the Wynn) however $85 is expensive and why are we now paying tips at a buffet where it's self-service? I will check it out next summer but these two factors are putting me off a bit to be honest.

[@markcummings3146]

Just to say thanks again for all your excellent content as my last post wasn't fully positive it doesn't detract fro how much I appreciate what you guys do.

[@bethanyarnp8852]

The buffet has had its time. I always thought it was a one and done but if you haven’t done it once, you missed your shot. $85 isn’t worth simply getting to sample items. The made to order items are out of the question, and the more popular items are always gone. What do they do at 90 minutes? Kick everyone out? That’s bad customer service, and having that happen will stick with people poorly. I loved your commentary! Another money grab by Caesers. They should start a go fund me.

[@lindlesj604]

I prefer the Wynn the time limit ambiance and I’m a seafood lover thanks great review!

[@ShowMeVegas]

The Wynn has a much nicer ambiance for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@MH_6160]

Nothing at Bacchanal has done this year warrants the price increase, but the food is still worth it…

[@edwardeighth1948]

For Joey Chestnut it would be totally worth it🤣

[@Andrew-cg2zl]

great video

[@miguelzavala1547]

$85 a little too much seems to me. Very informative video thank you.

[@NoTime-ToSleep]

Ouch, $90. Eating $90 of food in 90 minutes .... that's a dollar a minute, I could definitely still get my money's worth. I went to the Wynn Buffet in May and I will probably go back there when I'm there in September. The Wynn Buffet had a 2 Hour limit... I took it right up to 1 hour 53 minutes 😄😄😄... it was great! This buffet does look really good though.

[@ShowMeVegas]

Wynn is better, IMO. Especially on the time limit!

[@williamhiland4378]

It hard to dine and pay a fair price when you're locked in to the strip properties. I have been renting a car in Vegas and getting off of the strip to eat. It's a big city and there is a lot of wonderful dining options out there.

[@pamelagreen475]

Bacchanal has become too overrated. For $10 cheaper you can get all the same stuff across the street at the Wynn. Is $75 for a buffet pricey? Yes, but at least they don’t rush you out at 90 minutes. I think you put it well. With all the standing in line at the different stations (and if you’re going for crab legs…go ahead and factor in the time to crack all those legs) 90 minutes seems unreasonable. It’s not nonstop eating for 90 minutes so for those who argue you should be able to get everything in within that time limit; 90 minutes doesn’t give you the time to enjoy even small portions at every station. Caesar’s has just become too overrated across the board; from the buffet to their hotel. If all you’re looking for is all you can eat crab legs go to the garden buffet at Southpoint. Around $50 for dinner and that includes crab legs (and they do the work for you by splitting the legs in half!)

[@smartone179]

Seems like you generally enjoyed the food… funny thing is, it seemed like you were kinda hoping you wouldn’t. Appreciate you showing us around.

[@ShowMeVegas]

The food was good, but the time limit is ridiculous. Thanks for watching!

[@Salmon_skn]

I know EXACTLY what you mean when you say “eggy”. Lol!

[@nicknicholas3186]

No beef ribs? For some reason if I had to choose, Wynn buffet for me but I haven't been in awhile. I'd love to see a Wynn buffet review With the Mrs. Please.

[@mmqpz]

Does the Wynn and wicked spoon have a time limit? 😀

[@BonaKim-hd8ec]

Math says eat a dollar’s worth of food per minute during your allotted 90 minutes.Taxes and tip not counting.

[@ad9899]

The food and atmosphere at Wynn looked much more appealing.

[@ShowMeVegas]

The atmosphere for sure. The food also seems to be higher quality. Thanks for watching!

[@TheJleliot]

Ive gone to this buffet alot. But i think they've just priced me out

[@EFChicago]

Are the drinks self serve or a server asks you what you want and brings it to you ? Filipino lechon and the filipino barbecue skewers will be the first one I will try.

[@ShowMeVegas]

They serve the drinks to you. Thanks for watching!

[@MichaelKnowGod]

Are drink extra like coke or Pepsi and do they bring drink to you or you have get them yourself?

[@ShowMeVegas]

They serve them to you. Thanks for watching!

[@SykkoCartoons]

120 mins would be noice.

[@ShowMeVegas]

Yep, two hours should be the minimum. Thanks for watching!

[@JLi4476]

I remember when buffets were $5 back in the day now paying $85 is BS!!

[@ChrisM541]

That ubiquitous 'post-Covid' excuse i.e. very, very deliberate profiteering, plus, in Vegas we clearly have a never ending influx of (price-unaware) 'bucket list' tourists, unfortunately. The penny will drop in time...and so will the prices. Until then, there's no doubt they'll continue to gamble by continually raising prices.

[@Marcel16DM]

As a slow eater, theres no way i would really be able to enjoy this place. They would kick me out before im done with my 2nd plate, no dessert 😂😂

[@ShowMeVegas]

Try being a slow eater AND filming your entire experience! It was impossible...

[@TheJayhawker83]

Is it worth it? Only if you're name is Joey Chestnut.

[@JeffDoesVegas]

Sorry, but no. Nobody is ever going to convince me that $80+ for a buffet is "worth it". I'd far sooner spend a little bit more money for a proper dining experience at a nicer location with food that isn't being mass-produced. I ate at the Bacchanal Buffet back in 2019 when it was $50 per person and even then, I thought it was overpriced. I mean, the food was "alright" but I don't want to pay that kind of money for food that's "alright". And I get it...the selection is massive and the opportunity to try multiple dishes might be great for some people, but let's be honest...you can only eat so much food. Again, I'd rather fork out a few more dollars and get a high quality meal without having to serve myself. And the fact that they limit you to 90 minutes is incredible. I mean, I understand it...they don't want people parking themselves at a table for 4 hours, but at the same time, COME ON. As an aside, those are the smallest crab legs & lobster claws I've ever seen.

[@cgsonic1968]

We are small slender people, wife is in the 120 lbs I am in the 150's... I always feel I am overpaying at any buffet, specially when the ppl at the next table are 6' tall or more and above 200 lbs, etating at least 2 or 3 full plates for every 1/2 plate we eat... We won't be going here for sure.

[@qj5978]

Seeing what they had and that you only had 90 minutes, I don't think it was worth anything near that price. You have to really rush if you find items you like and want to hit them multi times. But you said it was packed, even mid-week. If people keep going, even at what seems a price that is way above the value, Caesars will just keep raising the prices.

[@nevamo7820]

No buffet in Vegas is worth $50 or more. $100 out of the question!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Krunchy71]

You think? In Vegas you can easily pay $80 for just a steak with no sides. $100 for a buffet with expensive crab legs and prime rib is better value.

[@kleptodathief3946]

this is much better den wynn buffet?

[@ShowMeVegas]

If they were priced the same, I'd go to Bacchanal. Wynn is a better value though.

[@davidmurphy1318]

Not for me Jordan I not into buffets I like having small bites a few times a day.i did Bach.. years ago and ended up in food coma wasted 12 hours in bed never again

[@angelaa1611]

I have no problem w the price tag but the 90 min time limit will keep me away. I'm very thin, so I can't eat much. So, I like to take my time, grave and have conversation. I tip well for this ability. However, there's no way in the world that it would be anywhere near worth it for me. They need to realize this asap.

[@angelaa1611]

I'll bet that really hurts their servers too. They didn't w you, but I've heard of servers there putting pressure on ppl to leave. Obviously, that's coming straight from management. But people that don't realize that will take it out on the servers, hurting their money. It's a shame.

[@rstriker1980]

Bacchanal is overrated; way too expensive. Wynn is up there as #1, Wicked Spoon and Palms.

[@robertpalatsky5017]

Problem is I doubt the buffet will get any cheaper- in fact it'll probably get more expensive- cuz no matter the price and wait, people will still spend the money because of the variety. Bacchanal has alot of things you won't find at any other buffets in Vegas.

[@gsdmomb530]

All I can say is, 90 minutes is a perfect time. Stack your plates and don't complain.

[@ShowMeVegas]

We'll have to agree to disagree. As crowded and expensive as the Bacchanal is, 90 minutes is a joke.

[@brookside109]

September 14,2023, we went there to celebrate my many years of life with my 5 adult family. Always heard and watched KZbin reviews about how great it was. First impression was claustrophobic atmosphere. Tables were too close to one another and too close to the walkway where the food was. The whole food station didn’t meet my eye test for aesthetics, in fact I would rate it a 2/10. The food stations didn’t wow me with their presentation either. The crab leg station, the server looked so bored, he could be dishing out slop. I only had a slice of prime rib which was delicious and couple crab legs, 2 ribs, mash POTATOES also. The dessert station was ok, but inferior to Bellagio in my opinion. Do ai think it was worth almost $600 for 6 adults- hell no. And that insane 90min eating, if someone chokes on their food bc they are trying to hurry up,suing them might stop that. Can anyone honestly say that you can be comfortable eating when you are on a time clock?

[@richardjohnson8009]

yeah dont get comfortable is basically what theyre saying, get in get out, wham bam thank you maam

[@stevekratochvil3034]

Too high of a price, especially if you aren't into crab legs. No problem with the 90 minutes because I can do a lot of damage in an hour and a half!

[@qj5978]

Agree. I don't like crab legs. There are a couple buffets with unlimited lobsters I plan to hit in September though. One I believe is $100 now.

[@kleptodathief3946]

how do they enforce the time limit? do u get a receipt that shows ur time in and then u have to punchout and pay? lol

[@ShowMeVegas]

The hostess writes your seated time on the receipt and your server pays close attention to it. They will ask you to leave if you go over. Thanks for watching!

[@nourdinh.1450]

Its $65 or $85 ??? now ??

[@ShowMeVegas]

Weekend dinner is $85. Weekday dinner is $80.

[@brandiesuarez]

I honestly don’t think it’s worth $85 dollars. The Wynn and A.Y.C.E seems way better for the price. On Wednesday the A.Y.C.E has all you can eat seafood, whole lobsters 🦞

[@ShowMeVegas]

For the money we do prefer Wynn over Bacchanal. But the problem with the Palms buffet is there are no reservations for lobster night and people wait 3, 4, even 5 hours to get in. Thanks for watching!

[@brandiesuarez]

@@ShowMeVegas oh wow! That’s a long wait time .

[@leongraham1009]

90 min time limit??

[@ShowMeVegas]

Indeed. That's pretty much a deal breaker. Thanks for watching!

[@raggraves]

All buffets are bad enough from an hygienic perspective, and the fact that the food sits under warming lights for God knows how long…… and at this price “on the clock”, hard pass!

[@bjornbergen8900]

I'm a three-plate max so the 85 dollars is a total waste for me

[@ISDATBIGBEN908]

Dude that's ridiculous Jesus so much food can't wait to get there don't care about my weight for five days just eat eat eat

[@briansieve]

Sushi is literally finger food

[@edwinsimmons7148]

1 buck per minute

[@ShowMeVegas]

That actually would have been a fun way to present the video! Thanks for watching!

[@e.p.t.2358]

No buffet is worth $85 unless some fool is willing to pay it.

[@debrasternhagen6598]

Joke was classless....like wearing your hat

[@ShowMeVegas]

You must be the life of the party.

[@paulflynn6912]

NO not worth it not even for 10 dollars

[@ShowMeVegas]

🤣 Okie dokie. 👍🏻

[@mattstockham5043]

Terrible quality of food and terrible value. You can get a great meal for two at Oscar’s for not much more than you pay at this buffet.

[@ShowMeVegas]

There wasn't a single thing I would consider "terrible." In fact, most of it was really, really good. To each his own. Thanks for watching!

[@kevonnichols1701]

Way over rated! IMO

[@milalukianoff3476]

Overpriced and overrated buffet

[@debrasternhagen6598]

Please take your hat off. You arent at McDonalds.

[@ShowMeVegas]

I wasn’t at a fine dining establishment either, I was at a casino buffet. Which of course doesn’t have a dress code. The guy across from me was wearing swim trunks and a tank top. I can’t imagine what you’d “say” to him. But thanks for watching!

[@UTUBMRBUZZ]

what a waste of money. If you had 3 hours then it may be worth the price. Most items is just cheap items and you eat no way worth $85. I bet they make a huge profit of all people who visit that tourist trap....
