text: My boyfriend and I were visiting Las Vegas for his birthday We decided to check out The Carnival Buffet since there was a pretty good deal on Groupon nnWe came in during lunch time and got seated fairly quickly Like most international buffets the food was separated by country there was American Italian Mexican Japanese and Chinese As soon as we were shown our table we were off to the races We tried a little bit of everything and just as we expected everything was just average The desserts were just average as well Nothing to go telling your friends or family about nnWith the Groupon came a free wine bottle which we had to go pickup at the bar When we first went to the bar the bartender was not there minutes later bartender still not thereanother minutes bartender still not thereanother minutes still not there By this time we were getting pretty frustrated and we are pretty patient people We had to ask one of the chefs and he could not find the bartender There was another lady waiting at the bar trying to get her free bottle as well I thought that was very unprofessional To not only leave your station but not even telling anyone about it It was not until we were done with our meals that the bartender showed up No apologies no excuses he acted like there was nothing wrong He just had a look on his face showing that he did not want to be there We just took our bottle and jetted out of there nnThe service from the other staff members were great Just the bartender kind of ruined our experience because we were looking forward to drinking our free wine while eating our lunchnnOverall this place is a good buffet to go to if your on a budget It is not bad but it is not great either If it were not for that Groupon I most likely would never step in here
