The wife and I consider ourselves to be pretty experienced buffet goers. We were with friends who can't stand buffet's and we had to really sell them on the idea, especially at $25. We were all staying at The Mirage and have never tried their buffet, so in we went. The wife and I were excited when we saw the variety from a distance, but when we got closer, were really surprised at how little food there was. On top of that, the food was terrible! I almost broke my tooth on the stale pot stickers. The prime rib was cold and flavorless. The guy who makes your salad reminded us a lot of 'The Soup Nazi' from Seinfeld. It literally took our server 15 minutes to get a diet Roy Rogers (Diet Coke with Grenadine). I am a HUGE dessert fan and this place really was a joke. They must be spending our $25 on the dolphin exhibit, cause it isn't being spent on good food. They should fire their food prep people and get a new decorator. The booth seat I was in felt like I was leaning against a wall. We came in around 4 pm, which is between lunch and dinner, but they had just started their dinner service so shouldn't the food have been fresh and hot?
