The trouble with
buffet ratings
I have been in Nevada almost 50 years - 10 in Reno,40 in
Las Vegas. I have traveled to every nook and cranny of this state and have
dined at probably every buffet in this state from the lousy ones in Laughlin,
Sparks and Elko to the superb ones in Las Vegas. The trouble with folks rating
buffets in Las Vegas is they get to Las Vegas from Dirty Dungaree, Iowa, stay
three days and then feel qualified to give an opinion without having had the
opportunity really to do some comparison shopping. It is the Strip buffet
mostly that gets rated. Well, there are buffets off the Strip that are far
superior considering price and ambience than anything you can get on the Strip.
I find a $4.95 luncheon buffet with a limited menu more valuable than a $14.95
luncheon buffet with a large selection. After all, how much can you eat? We
locals know it and take advantage of it, heck we get half price coupons sent to
us by mail, we ask for senior discounts and get them. But, since most tourists
are under time constraints I need to rate a goodly number of Strip buffets as
well. |
