While the food is good, nothing in particular stands out as being amazing. The dessert station had a fairly sizable selection of ice creams and sorbets, fresh baked cookies, and then individual portioned desserts like cakes, creme brulee, meringues, etc. There is a pizza station, Italian station (meatballs, cooked to order pasta), seafood station (with a few sushi options), roast meats station (prime rib, lamb and turkey), and then crab legs/shrimp cocktail station. There’s a salad station, offering 3-4 salad options and then a few small, cold/room temp appetizers. The food quality was certainly better than most buffets I’ve tried, but it didn’t have as much variety as I would have thought (I guess a bit more scaled down from the lavish ones I’ve heard about). Personally, not a big buffet fan – seems to be mainly focused on quantity over quality. I have never eaten at any of the Vegas buffets, but I’ve heard of how elaborate they can be. We got to hit their buffet to sample it too.

I took my mom for a belated birthday celebration to the Encore this weekend.
