We went to the Bacchanal Buffet yesterday to celebrate my Birthday.  We have eaten thee about 6 times last year (June thru October 2013) and after getting shut out (3-4 hour waits which we would not do), my friends and my wife were very anxious to have a great buffet experience again.\n\nWow, what a disappointment!  It felt like a new manager was aboard and decided to cut back on a lot of things too save money!  The lamb chops which have always been delicious and melt-in-your-mouth-tender were tough, very tough!  I usually eat 7 or 8 ribs, but yesterday I couldn't eat two and most of it I left on my plate.  The hot crab-legs were tasteless as if they had been soaking in the pot of water for days.  The corn on the cob, which is usually sweet and crispy, was tough and tasteless!  I could not get a rare piece of prime rib.  A reddish piece of prime rib does not mean it is rare!\n\nSince it was Chinese New Year's, the Asian offerings were tremendous.  The roast duck was its usual good and tasty.  The dim sum area was increased and good although I think the skin they use to wrap the dim sum was too thick and gooey.  The other offerings (garlic crab legs, pig's feet, etc.) were excellent.  I also had a bowl of Ramen tonkotsu noodle soup made up for me and it was very, very good.  I had 4 helpings of their miso marinated steamed seabass, which was delicious!\n\nOf course, since the buffet is the largest buffet in all of Las Vegas, there were enough other things to eat that were delicious that we all ended up stuffed.  BUT our favorites were disappointing.  I hope our next visit, if we can get up the nerve to try it again, will not be disappointing.
