A: Even though this place is off the strip in M hotel and resort, for a $33 Saturday Dinner - It was all you can eat and all you can drink alcohol! Yes! All you can drink pale ale, cider, and three different wines. In addition to this, they have a coffee bar where you can get unlimited cappuccinos, espressos, or cafe lattes with any addition of Bailey's! mMmMmMm! This is one of the best buffets that I have been to in Vegas! Amazing! In terms of food, they have the "World" theme of variety just like the Rio with a touch of Bellagio's and Wynn's classic buffet! What was exceptional? They had amazing SNOW CRABS - served both warm and cold! I also recommend their Tri-Tip steak along with their Prime Rib with their special sauce! mMmMm - Thumbs up! All of this went super well with the bartender's "moscato" concoction of cider and splash of pink zinfandel! Thumbs up! In terms of dessert, I highly recommend their coconut pudding with mango and pineapple sauce topped with raspberry and blueberries! It was so good, I had three of those after my mountains of steak and snow crabs! It also went well with my cafe lattes! I also recommend finishing up their draft rootbeer - RootBeer Float style! You just get the rootbeer from the beer section and take it to the dessert section! Did I mention that this place had the best service that I ever had at a buffet? Thumbs up all the way!

Q: negative

A: The first issue is that there is only one entrance and exit. That creates huge bottlenecks. You are packed tight until you are back into the casino area. The second issue is with the fact all of the concessions were cash only. There is no reason for this, inexcusable. Inside it is your standard small arena. The size does mean you get good views from almost every seat. The staff was a mixed bag. Some were friendly and helpful, others were the opposite.

Q: negative

A: We saw Jim Gaffingan here in July. As a casino or a night out, I would never come to this establishment again. If you have to see a show here, eat first! The options for food are very limited in the casino and everyone is smoking cigarettes. yuck. I don't mind smoke unless... I'm eating. We decided to eat there just because we ran out of time and man was I disappointed. Everything else was so busy, because they are obviously not prepared for the Gaffigan crowd, so we settled on the Black Fig, which was called an "upscale bistro", sounds trendy- maybe the food is interesting. The prices weren't bad but they had sandwiches, salads, & pepperoni pizza. I don't think any of the other restaurants are much better either besides Orange Sky but that's another Yelp review in itself. I'm pretty sure I had a Totino's pizza from the freezer that night at an "upscale bistro" on date night at what's supposed to be a fancy casino, or so I thought. Oh, and by the way there was no seating once we finally got our food. We ended up sitting cramped on a "built in poker" bar next to a chain smoking old woman. If people are dressing up to come to your casino, you need to deliver something better!

A:
I went to Firehouse for the first time this past weekend. The place was clean and I enjoyed the decor. The sandwiches were very good and fresh. The brisket and cheddar sandwich was really good. I also split the engine company sub with my fiancee and enjoyed the sandwich. The sandwiches were made within 5 minutes of the order. I liked the crushed ice instead of the cube you typically get at most eating esablishments. I didn't find the food too expensive. The cost for 2 sandwich combos was $16-17. About what you would pay at Dilly's. I expect I will hear "Welcome to Firehouse" in the future.
