I didn't pay for this, it was comp'd.  I'm a baller like that.  I walked up to the cashier and she said, quite rudely \"you're Katie??????\"  I answered with a confident \"I AM.\"  I guess when you see a 29 yr old girl alone in a buffet line at 9am with a free voucher, it's questionable but I didn't let that deter me.\n\nEven the beverages are self serve here.  I guess you tip the wait staff for taking away your plates. They at least do that adequately.  I wasn't offered champagne and wasn't sure it was an option until the table across from me got a bottle.  I would've at least appreciated the choice.  \n\nSpeaking of choice, I really should discuss the food.  I had 3 plates and finished with soft serve ice cream.  After taking a small bite out of each item, I managed to lose my appetite.   My plate-taker-awayer must've been confused at the plates he was taking away as they were all barely touched.  There were even \"crab legs\" that weren't memorable. As a fat girl who jumps at the chance for free food, this is not acceptable.  \n\nI filled up on Diet Pepsi (why is it impossible to get a Diet Coke in Vegas??) coffee, ginger from the sushi bar and melted soft serve.  I understand when you put cobbler in the bottom of the bowl, or if the bowl is warm, the ice cream will melt.  My bowl was cold and the ice cream was soup by the time I returned to my table.\n\nI remember going to the Excalibur buffet as a youngster and my family getting out of line because it was so repulsive looking.  It was like that scene in \"Vegas Vacation\" where Cousin Eddie takes them to the buffet.  That being said, The Big Belly Buffet is leaps and bounds above that status... but in a city of Wicked Spoons and Bacchanals, your money is best spent elsewhere.\n\nAgain, it was free.  C'est la vie.
