when you go to Vegas you have to eat the buffets! If you watched our other video
then you know by playing M Life games you can get some freebies and save a lot of
money. So we went to six different buffets by cashing in our M Life
loyalty points and we rank them from best to worst so you know which ones to
go to and which ones to skip! So here we go... Number 6 Excalibur
we went during Sunday brunch - the only reason that we went is because there are
limited options during the weekends for redeeming the loyalty points and
Excalibur was one of the cheaper options it's kind of far south on the strip and
the food was really not good, things were just too salty, they just weren't cooked well
we ate at this buffet and we just told each other
there's just nothing to eat here and sadly the best thing to eat here were
these stir-fried vegetables that's kind of how sad the food offering was here
I would totally not go again even if it was a ten dollar buffet so that's how bad it was
Number five MGM Grand we went here for a brunch as well, MGM Grand isn't as
bad as Excalibur but the selection isn't that great when you walk around you're
kind of I don't even know what to eat but when you actually do pick
something to eat, it does taste good, so at least compared to Excalibur, the food
at MGM Grand is you know relatively well flavored and relatively well cooked
so that's one thing that makes it better than Excalibur, they did have a few
things that were pretty good, like I thought the meat from the carving
station was pretty good and the French toast was really good
the desserts were just okay. The two soft-serve ice creams - I was kind of
excited because they had these tropical flavors but they ended up tasting a
little bit like soap, so all in all compared to the other higher-ranked
buffets I wouldn't go back to MGM grand. Number four Bellagio buffet
we were really surprised when he went to the Bellagio dinner buffet - it was the
first buffet that we had when we went to Vegas and when you walk in, you're just
kind of like underwhelmed with the way that they decorated it, and the lights
are kind of dim and the food isn't that great and the presentation isn't that great
so I think we were expecting a lot more
and the reason that we got the dinner buffet is because we wanted to eat the
crab legs, but the hot crab legs ended up tasting not so fresh and they were
way too salty but the Jonah crab legs were pretty good. The broccolini was
pretty good, this pork rib was probably my favorite thing, the shrimp was okay
and the cocktail sauce tasted a little funny so I would actually say to skip
the Bellagio dinner buffet, and you can spend less and get better food elsewhere
Number three Mirage cravings - we ranked Mirage #3 because it has a
good variety of foods that taste good, it's a bit more expensive as a lunch
buffet than MGM or Excalibur but I think it's worth it. They space out the buffet
into different genres so you'll have Italian, you'll have fishmonger for the
seafood, you have an Asian section and each of the foods are pretty good
Mirage left us satisfied because it gave us a good variety, so if you want to eat
something that's a little bit rich, so you have your fried items and then you
also have your fresh items if you want to eat some veggies, and some pretty
decent seafood. The Chinese food was really good
I actually was surprised at how good this seafood bun was and the roasted
ribeye was fairly good and the coconut macaroons were really good I think we
each ate about eight. We even saw a lady stealing food
and putting food into her purse so that kind of at least gives a standard of how
good a buffet is! Number two Mandalay Bay - so Mandalay Bay the food was pretty good
the seafood was pretty good, the meat was really good, so in general the
food was just flavored really nicely. I liked a lot of their hot foods, it
was just an overall really good buffet and I wonder if that's because they're
just so far from the rest of the Strip that they really have to give people
something to want to come back to or they have to leave people with a really
good impression - their shrimp was a lot bigger than Bellagio and a lot
fresher and their desserts were good we felt like it was really worth our money
and the best buffet that we went to was Aria - there was a huge line at Aria at
two o'clock and now we think we know why because the seafood was actually the
freshest out of all of the buffets that we went to - it was a little bit salty the
seafood - some of the salt water that they used to boil the crab legs and the snow
crab legs gets into the meat but in terms of the actual freshness of the
seafood you can taste it and it's better than the other places and they even have
a butter machine to dip your seafood in the sushi was really good. Everything
just felt like a really curated experience from chefs, so you have
individual dishes which helps eliminate waste and also makes the food
fresher because then they can refill the food more frequently. I was obsessed with
this chip and spinach artichoke dip - the chips were so super good and the spinach
artichoke dip was amazing their breakfast items were really good they
have their dry salami portion, their carving station was fantastic look at
this yummy meat, they also have unique ethnic dishes like some Mexican dishes
Indian foods and also Mediterranean like stuffed grape leaves and hummus
they had pizzas, they had an Asian section where they had a lot of dim sum
and also some really yummy fried rice they had a pho section where you could
just add soup and it was pretty good and you can make your own noodle soup
they had a lot of prepared salads and they had a yummy duck salad, a pasta section, and
then these super yummy juices we each drank about three! so it was just a
really wonderful satisfying experience to the stomach and to the eyes, the food
was really clean, the food was really pretty, it was presented in a nice way
and it was super delicious, and then the dessert section you had a lot of variety
the desserts were really unique and special and then they have a really nice
little gelato bar. So out of the six buffets Aria is our favorite and
Mandalay Bay was a close second. So we have more Vegas videos coming up
