I like to come here because ity has a better selection that Caesars La Piazza Buffet. I especially love the fact that you can have your steak grilled to your liking (I like my steak medium rare) and the seafood selection isn't too bad. Again, because I am a Diamond member, I rarely have to wait no longer than ten... More

The buffet was very well balanced with healthy food choices and vegetarian friendly options. The variety including everything from Asian to your typical southern food. The wait staff was good but definitely could be friendlier and taught how to smile and great customers. More

This buffet is one of the nicest buffets I have ever been to. You can't compare a buffet to a normal restaurant or expect to get the same thing at a buffet as you would any other restaurant they're just not the same. For a buffet, this place is great. It is huge, has a huge selection, the restaurant is... More

When we signed up as players for the Total Rewards of CET (which Harrah's is a part of), we were given 3x slot dollars, 2 free rooms and 4 free buffets (between the 2 of us). We started trying this buffet, as we heard/read that this would be the best of the 4 offered CET buffets. We went there on... More

We received a 2 for 1 offer for the buffet and went on a Thursday around 1pm. The choices were very varied and they even had a large selection of "no sugar added" desserts, which is something you don't usually see. While the cost was a bit high, in relation to the other restaurants on site, the large variety of... More

For about $30.00 per person, you'll get all of the steamed class, mussels, peel and eat shrimp, and crab legs you can hold. You can also get a not-bad steak, cooked to order, a decent salad bar, Southern/Soul food, Asian food, Italian food, and plenty of desserts. Service is cheerful, polite, and attentive. More
