And the lesson here...if you want to have a decent lobster buffet...stick to Vegas. Thank you for the heads up.

@thetravelorus1847 Ай бұрын

That buffet looks huge, but I agree. I wouldn’t wait 2-3 hours

@jadelynn1703 Ай бұрын

Your honesty is very good. $140 for one lobster tail after 3 hours of waiting does not sound worth it.

@ExploreVegas Ай бұрын

Thank you Jade! Really wish the line wasn’t so long and we could’ve tried the food, but we’d still be disappointed to pay that much money and be limited to one piece of lobster.

I loved the buffet at the Grand Sierra Resort when i was a kid living in Reno/Sparks back in the 90s (formally known as the Reno Hilton back then). The food looked pretty decent though I'm not a fan that the lobster wasn't all you can eat and only get 1 lobster. For that same price and wait time, i would probably stick with the AYCE buffet at the Palms. Next time i visit Reno I'll try the buffet on a non lobster day. Hopefully you did a video over at the Atlantis hotel and casino buffet during the trip

omg, wow, i did NOT expect to NOT see you eat the food but it makes sense. This was a very cool video in that it was something so different and unexpected. yes, i was disappointed, but its ok,, you showed all the food, and still made a great video out of it! oh, and pickled beets are the worst, but have you tried NON pickled? for me, they are ok but still way too salty, soooo, i found unsalted canned beets at the store, both whole and slice and they are very good and good for you. 😊

@ExploreVegas Ай бұрын

Thank you for supporting us even though we couldn’t make it in to try the food. Beets are just one of those things I never liked. I know there are a lot of health benefits to eating them though. Maybe in the future I’ll try again.

We live in the SF Bay Area and used to fly to Reno twice a month for years. Our favorite buffet was at the Eldorado. We stayed and played at the downtown casinos. Unfortunately, COVID and the opening of Indian casinos in CA changed things in Reno. Business took a hit and many downtown casinos and buffets closed down…So Sad! Reno was our “second home”, but have not been there in years.

@ExploreVegas Ай бұрын

That’s sad to hear Sally. In Vegas business is thriving and the casinos abandoned the buffets.

We love the Grand Sierra resort as it has the most activities, including a nice pool and arcade but the few times we’ve been to this buffet, it’s been a huge disappointment. Food quality is mediocre compared to the top Las Vegas buffets. Last time we were in Reno, we actually enjoyed the Atlantis buffet and thought the crab legs were solid. If you really wanted a buffet in Reno, I’d recommend that one.

@BIGJATPSU Ай бұрын

I mean, the sign DOES state one tail per person and even the size too. Can't be mad really with that upfrontness. As a one off in Reno, probably not a bad change of pace. I think the price is fair given all the other lobster dishes offered.

@wilsonk1464 Ай бұрын

No. That $69 special menu doesn't justify $24 more than the normally $45 (over 53% of). If anything, they should've limit to at least 2 lobster tails.

@ExploreVegas Ай бұрын

In most restaurants in Vegas, you’d pay big money to order lobster tail. Maybe our perception would be different if we’d been able to try the food. We were a bit concerned with the feedback we were getting from folks who were leaving though.

@BIGJATPSU Ай бұрын

@@wilsonk1464 here in Vegas the markups for "special menu" buffets are AT LEAST $24 dollars.... and that generally takes the total over $100 a person IF lobster is involved. The AYCE at Palms being an exception of course, but that's a bi-day weekly offering and reservations are a must. If I was in Reno, food taste and quality being unknown to me at the time, I'd try it for that price and feel fine about it.

@BIGJATPSU Ай бұрын

@@ExploreVegas oh I totally agree that after you heard the overall quality and taste wasn't at least decent to pass. My thought was that, for Reno, that price for a one off IF the food was decent isn't bad given the selection even if it was only one tail. We're super spoiled down here in Vegas for high end buffet offerings. 😅😅

@debrosenbloom1731 Ай бұрын

Good thing their signs mentioned "one per person" or their would have been many angry guests... even then i feel a lot of people wouldnt have seen the actual "terms".
