Thoughts on Excalibur buffet? Would you try it?

@aurora0gunner 6 ай бұрын

Just came back from Vegas and did the Buffet at Excalibur. It was pretty good. Pizza was good. Meat carving station stuff was the best, especially the carved ham and prime rib. The omelet station was amazing, and the birria was so tender and flavorful. The German chocolate cake was delicious, however the edges were dry. I'd go back just to take advantage of the carving station again.

Can't go wrong with a MyVEGAS Reward for the Excalibur buffet. Just getting a fresh omelette, fresh crepe, coffee and juice and you're already ahead on the cost of eating at the food court. Best part of a buffet is you try a small amount of everything then go back for what you actually liked. It was basically what I expected for the price.

@bryantsteury8910 6 ай бұрын

Especially at that price point. You’ll get more food and choice than at a standard restaurant and basically at the same or less price given its Vegas. I hop will be just as much

The meat labeled "Pozole" might actually be birria, which can be made with either goat meat or, in this case, beef. Migas are different from chilaquiles in that in Migas, soft tortillas are cut into small pieces and mixed in with the scrambled eggs as they are cooked while in chilaquiles the tortillas are cut into triangles, fried into tortilla chips and then sautéed with either a red or green salsa to slightly soften them up. Cheese is then sprinkled on top as the salsa works its way into the chips.

From selecting a story, deciding what to cover, filming, and editing. With your attention to detail, I'm sure it must be quite the process. Given that you shoot outside and inside crowded spaces, how often do people come up to you while you're filming. Nick from Melbourne, Australia.

They were like Costco hot dogs, but about twice as thick. We called them 'Ron Dogs'. You just can't believe how cheap Vegas was back then. Rooms were practically free and if you played the tables, you could basically eat and drink for free. And I'm talking like $2 blackjack tables. Good times.
