Answer: Service was pretty good, food was pretty mediocre. For the price, they get 2/5 stars. I've had much better food before at this price point, and I've had much better steaks for much less (like the porterhouse at the Applebee's in Rutland, VT, for example). The main dings are from: 1. The steak was overcooked. No better way to ruin a steak than to overcook it. I ordered my steak medium-rare and it came out medium-well. Maybe I shouldn't have assumed that a pricey steak house would always err on the side of raw, because they did the opposite. To me, a steak that is cooked all the way through but still pink (as opposed to deep uncooked red) and having the same dry texture as well done is a medium-well, not a medium-rare. 2. The sides weren't done well. The asparagus that we ordered was overcooked (soft and limp to the point that it was hard to pick a piece up with the fork). The potatoes seemed overdone (the cheese was dried out instead of cheesy). I do better asparagus at home and you can find better potatoes almost anywhere. The cream corn w/ cheese was good, but nowhere near as good as the divey korean chicken place back home. They do have a large vine list. They had a lot of European wines, although I'm not very familiar with them. I was looking for South American wines. I was a bit surprised that they had Malbec from Chile, but no Carmenere. The main upsides are service and atmosphere. The staff is very precise and they pay attention to little details like putting your napkin back in place when you get up and making sure all the plates arrive at the table simultaneously (although this trick would work better if I didn't see them swarming by the trays next to our table for two minutes trying to orchestrate the exercise for our table of 11). Overall, if you're looking more for the atmosphere and experience and care less about the food, check it out. If you really want a great steak, you may be disappointed.

Answer: Hands down, Bacchanal Buffet is the BEST buffet on the Vegas strip! My recent trip to Vegas led me to staying at the Caesar's Palace hotel and instead of us traveling somewhere else on the strip to get our last meal in before heading back home, we decided to give the Bacchanal Buffet downstairs a try and I was not disappointed. AMBIENCE: The line to get in is long and for good reason - the food is GOOD! *Tip: Make sure you bring your Player's Club Card. If you don't have one, make sure you visit the Player's Card Booth to sign up! You will get a few dollars off of your buffet. I got the mimosa buffet and the total came out to be $40 on a weekend. The seating inside is made to make you feel like it is spacious and open. The beautiful blue glass decoratively placed throughout the restaurant makes the restaurant look very modern and clean. FOOD QUALITY: There is A LOT of variety here. For my very very particular parents, they could not stop raving about how wonderful the Asian section of the buffet was. For myself, I could not resist the fried chicken (fried chicken, i love you!!) pho, and desserts. There seems to be something for everyone here - desserts, seafood, juices, red velvet pancakes, fries, tator tots, breakfast foods, sausages and other meats, italian food, mexican food, salads, noodles, sushi, and other Asian dishes. Some of the more memorable dishes: *There was actually meat on the crab legs and they tasted fresh! *The skin of the fried chicken was absolutely delicious! The chicken also was super tender. * LOVED the noodle station. *TIP: Don't miss the noodle station! They serve pho! The broth was delicious, the noodles were tender - one of the best pho I have had. * Dim sum - Ha gow is my favorite dim sum dish and they really got it right! The shrimp inside was tender, tasty, and fresh! * Chow mein was amazing! I had to go for seconds - packed with flavor! * I kept getting the coffee - it was so good and paired perfectly with my dessert. SERVICE: What sets Bacchanal Buffet apart from the other buffets on the strip is the service. From the moment we sat down, our waitress was SUPER accommodating and on top of it! She kept our coffee and the tea coming and came back very frequently to take away our dishes. You will notice that it is not just the waitresses/waiters but the entire staff of Bacchanal. You guys have it together and what a breath of fresh air it is to see! Even those that are serving you from behind the buffet line are smiley and ready to help. It truly made our experience here that much better! OVERALL: I have found my new favorite buffet on the Vegas strip. Because of my wonderful experience here, I definitely have Bacchanal as a required stop to visit on my list whenever I come back to Vegas. If you haven't come here yet, what are you waiting for? You deserve to give your taste buds some TLC!! :)

Answer:
Though the service is a little slow....we really don't mind because they have a very nice/mostly shaded patio. My boyfriend and I stumbled across this place on accident and am so glad we found it. There menu is simple and delicious...nothing too fancy and prices are great. I've never gone through the drive through, we always sit on the patio and enjoy our tropical tea or coffee. They also have a full bar which is different! We went on the weekend both times..Saturday and Sunday and was pleased that we could order breakfast until 12pm. We'll definitely be back again and may enjoy a cocktail next time!
