bacchanal buffet - caesars palace

as advices by many had to try out the best brunch buffet of vegas at caesars palace. there was a hugelineto enter and register and even inside it was packed. walking in thought there won't be any veggie options but in fact the whole buffet was spread out with desserts, salad, sea food, live counters and bread section. it covered a variety cuisines as well - italian, chinese, mexican, mediterranean.
quality of the food was fantastic and the food was mouth watering delicious.
food -
yogurt glass was amazing with a hint of cinnamon flakes and berries. 🍦
hummus appetiser was perfectly blended.
rocket leaves and beet with cheese was a refreshing glass of salad.
caesar salad was amazing. it was amazing and the dressing was just so fresh. 🥗
garlic bun was freshly made with the right hit of garlic and butter. 🍞
margarita pizza was oozing with flavours of basil and parmesan. 🍕
vegetable spring roll was loaded with vegetables.
chefs special white sauce pasta was okay. it was bland for my taste. 🍝
tacos were freshly heated and served and you had to pick your own toppings and make it.
there was a variety of eggs 🍳- fried egg with bacon, egg benedict etc.

desserts -
creme brûlée was out of this world. it was one of the best i've ever had. glazed to perfection.
pecan pastry was good but too sweet for my liking.
raspberry sugar free mousse - i didn't quite like it as it was too spongy.
crepes with nutella and berry sauce was amazing and the best part it wasn't eggy.

i would definitely recommend this place to anyone going to vegas. the ambience is great and can spend good couple of hours eating and chatting.

for the hefty price tag 50 ea, food doesn't match : ( nope crab legs cheap and small mixed with a few alaska king but they too were small. had better at mirage cravings!! only 1 station for seafood and longlineto wait in. while inlinestaff keeps cutting throughlinewith dirty dishes and dirty towels, not just 1 time but multiple. you would think a new resturant would have better layout. not that big of selection!

we went for dinner tonight.. no king crab legs (i couldn't find them past half hour, until i almost to leave.. 2 of us just tried 4 pieces of it, we are not big fan of it) , peking duck, big snails as in september dinner buffet.. but its usd $10 less than in september.

we paid usd $54 + $8 tips per person. not muchlineup.. waited less than 15 minutes..

i didn't eat much.. i tried...

waygu beef... 1st slice was too cooked, chewy and hard to cut... 2 and piece was medium rare.. way better...

prime rib... way better than waygu beef... more juicy

beef morrow bone.... too fat.. too much herbs on top

fresh oysters... pretty fresh

snails... a lot of sand inside

t bone lamb... extremely dried and over cooked

ribs ... taste too much curry on it

some dessert..

some juice and red wine as well..

there's a lot of selections... but not worth for the price we paid for...

welcome to the most expensive buffet ever, at $88usd per person, you will walk in fully determined to eat your money's’ worth and leave hating yourself as you dread the food coma that follows immediately after. selection for food was extensive, from dim sum to ramen to barbecue and tacos, there’s choices for everyone! worth a try if you’re a seafood lover, it’s literally crab leg galore. tip* there is a man in the middle of thelineup near the asian station with a big pot, get your crab legs here. he boils the crab legs in a salted pot, brings out so much more flavor- add a squeeze of lemon, so good.

some other favorites of mine were the watermelon salad, the pork belly served on top of grits, clam chowder and the highlight… the dessert station! egg tarts are a must, the cake pops, slivers of different cakes and tarts. aside from that - beef brisket was really dry, sausages were way too oily, some of the bread rolls were stale and bites of roasted pork and duck skin were either perfectly crispy and fresh while others tasted like they were sitting under the lamp for way too long. wouldn’t say this was worth the money and i certainly wouldn’t come back on my next visit, but i’d suggest to come once to get that full vegas buffet experience.

when in las vegas you only expect the best, most luxurious of experiences. rest assured that the bacchanal buffet does not disappoint. granted me and my party of 8 had a little bit of alinewait to get in, but once we were seated (by fluke in a nice secluded area away from everyone else, hello awesome private dining experience!) that was all forgotten. i have never before seen that much good quality food in my life. seafood, pizza, pasta, salad, dumplings, meats and anything else your appetite could want. and that's not even going into dessert! everything was done very well and i cant recall one thing i hated. the luxurious setting (caesars palace sure is something hey!!), excellent, polite service and the bustling atmosphere all creates the perfect foodie night out in vegas. perfect to either follow with a great show or a night in digesting all the food you just ate.

oh i loved this place. we went for the champagne brunch. what a buffet! there was a hugelineup but we got in and wow ... speechless. the lobster benedicts, the crab legs, the smoked salmon and shrimps. very very good selection.

this is an unreal buffet. we went there for brunch on the wknd and it was $54 per head. pretty steep but the variety of food they have is crazy! it is just rammed and i would recommend going earlier because thelineto get food can get tedious.

still has the widest variety in a buffet spread compared to most buffets here in vegas. they do some things exceptionally well, their tapioca/rice pudding is tdf; sweet potato tater tots that i had several servings of on one occasion. their fresh juices (and horchata!!!) come in cute bottles, some a bit bland but fresh, nonetheless.

bacchanal, however, fails short on one singular thing. their stupid queing system. those who have been to bacchanal will know what i'm talking about. the process goes a little like this: walk up to this machine, type in your details (name, phone number, #of people in your party etc) it issues you a tiny piece of paper with your queue number and a promise of a text/phone call for when it's time for you tolineup. more often than not, it will be a 2-3 hour wait. and for a grand spread like bacchanal's, you will want to come hungry. however, you fall inlineafter the allotted wait and surprise! there is a 10-mile long line, waiting to pay, and another 10-mile longlineinside for people waiting to be seated. did i also mention that there's a speciallinefor people who can be prioritized for an additional $20, $25? crazy.

for that, get your shit together, bacchanal! there are 10383729282 hungry tourists trying to write you off their bucket list, and 273928272 locals trying to impress their guests from out of town! get rid of that queing system and just let peoplelineup as they go!

i had lunch here at $40 and dinner here at $60.  i enjoyed the lunch better than the dinner.  the service was terrible getting drinks at dinner.  the food selection was good, but very diverse.  the choices at lunch seemed better for me then at dinner, which my guests at dinner did not like it.  they felt there were no good traditional options.  thelinewas long at both meals to get into the buffet even for a platinum card member.

considering the price i payed for the bacchanal buffet champagne brunch, i was a bit disappointed. there were a lot of luxury items on the buffetline(stone crab, large tiger shrimp, alaska king crab), and those items were great. the mexican section was horrendous, but the freshly-squeezed juices were absolutely amazing. i have not been able to find a good acerola juice outside of brasil, but the had a great one at the buffet. the desserts were amazing. if the menu is priced at the same price it was when i visited, i would not return. for the price, the bellagio or cosmopolitan are much better options.

i went there on a wednesday night after a long day of traveling, there was alineup, thelineup time from start to cashier was fourth five minutes, so the wait was ok, faster than the average one hour, non alcoholic were included, server was good at clearing tables, and refilling drinks, i plated up eight times and on the ninths time i finally got dessert, over all a very good buffet experience

i came here for the christmas holiday dinner buffet with my husband and found it way too overpriced. the price for the holiday dinner buffet was much higher than the standard $50/person. 
first there was a 2-hour wait time for the dinner buffet, and because we didn't want to wait that long we paid an extra surcharge for the separate vip-ishlinethat was much shorter. our total came to about $200 with tax and tip. 
when we got into the buffet, we were overwhelmed with all the food, but to be honest much of the food tasted only average or mediocre. maybe this was because the buffet was packed with so many people during the holiday season, but everything was just a waste of my money. nothing really stood out, many of the dishes could be found elsewhere, the food stations were relatively dirty with scrap food lying around, and overall, it was too hectic in there. 
the fresh seafood station was always empty because people took way too many at one time and the chicken and waffles...everyone took the chicken but not the waffles so there were lonely waffles laying around with no chicken.
i'm not going back and i prefer wicked spoon!

what's las vegas without going to at least one buffet? and that's what we did, except we made sure to do some research ahead of time. and what we discovered was that while lots of articles ranked the top 10 buffets to eat in las vegas, they seldom had pictures. so lo and behold, this post will contain tons of photos! originally, we were going to go into the buffet with the same tactic that we had used the previous year, that is show up an hour before dinner hours (so that we could pay the lunch price) and eat both lunch and dinner dishes. however, there were a few influential factors that we didn't take into consideration: 1) we were going on a saturday, 2) we had a party of eight versus just two people, and 3) we didn't realize exactly how popular the bacchannal buffet was. we arrived at 2:15pm, and found out that we had to proceed to a machine to input the number of people in our party, which then gave us a paper slip stating the time to return. the return time indicated that was when we could begin lining up (...what?!). the time it told us to return was 3:45pm, well over the beginning of dinner hours so all eight of us fell disappointed and contemplated going to bellagio for their buffet. we even walked to bellagio and lined up for 10 minutes before the group reached a consensus to go back to caesars palace and wait (all influenced by the reviews we had read beforehand). the eight of us sat beside the bacchanal buffetlinelooking famished. we must have looked like a group of very sad children, because the lovely woman who worked to check the time stamped paper slips motioned us over and let us join the queue. despite having skipped the wait for ourlineup time to arrive, it was 4pm by the time we got our table. imagine how much longer we would have had to wait if we follow their legitimate process! needless to say, once we got our table, we didn't even bother to sit down and quickly booked it to the food stations - our server had to stop us in our tracks to ge

i think this is the best buffet in the world..... waited for half an hour to get in but wow, what a quality offering for only $50. the buffet is segmented into multiple sections/style and if you lay the whole foodlinetogether it was probably just under 100m no joke !. and the quality of all of them is absolutely amazing, like dining in multiple individual proper restaurants. the seafood is the best i have had in las vegas, a good mix of variety of cold and hot stuff. one criteria i usually judge a buffet is the chinese dim sum section. usually, a normal buffet would skim on quality for these items but the dim sum bacchanal have were exceptional and it feels like eating in a proper dim sum restaurant. there was even ginseng chicken soup which was comfort food and big surprise for me. the grill section was phenomenal, offering perfectly cooked roast and meat. all the food had punchy flavour and i felt like a little kid running up and down the aisle, sampling all the food.

one negative for me is that the dessert section lacked any memorable items. you get the usual crepe/waffle, ice cream, cakes, toffee apple etc. i was hoping for some macaroons but well, i didnt have much stomach space for dessert anyway. this place is a must go if you visit las vegas.

love the new check in system. you no longer wait in a longlinefor hours. you check your party in at a kiosk, they text you when you table is ready! perfect! buffet was delicious as normal, loved the street taco station. shrimp was good. the only thing i do not like, is the crab legs. they are cold. now you can have them heated at the italian station, but they just aren't the best. everything else was on point, which it should be for $50.00 dinner.
