text: This is really a What lies between MEH and AOK OK Like the first Matrix sequel Not bad Not good Just OKnnTypically I stay at the Mirage when I Vegas and so I try to slip into the Cravings for breakfast I would not say anything is gourmet or jaw dropping but you can put together almost any breakfast you can imagine reasonably enough nnUnfortunately the most disappointing aspect of the breakfast is the lame s era hotel coffee Mirage you do not have to serve Starbucks Go to a local Panera or Einsteins Bagels to get an idea of what you should be serving Something smooth with some flavor Not bland weak nothingness You should be embarrassed at this pointnnIve read other reviews that indicate this buffet used to rule Las Vegas I am not really convinced any buffet can rule much of anything I tried to overrated Wynn buffet and the far superior Paris buffet and I am simply not sold on the idea that any buffet can challenge a reasonably good restaurant But that is not why buffets are in Vegas They are there to offer cheap fast eats They are cafeterias with delusions of grandeurnnThe Cravings is a decent cafeteria if you will The sushi lacks fish the shrimp is plump and bottomless the coffee again sucks and they will toss you a tasty salad of your dreams Like I said it is OK for a buffetnnThe Mirage has been good about updating itself and I think it is time my favorite affordable resort reinvent the buffet Scrap the silly name Pull the Studio gold and mirrors out of the interior nnIm hearing good things about what the Cosmopolitan is doing it Take what works and fix what does not over there bring it to the Mirage Charge higher prices to people walkin in off the street but give resort guests a bold discount and name said discount as a benefit of the resort fee
