While long lines often mean the product is worth waiting for, it’s something to be aware of. Wait Times: While I personally didn’t experience it, mostly because I visited at an odd time (2 pm), the wait to get into the buffet can be long. I’d still recommend making the trip, as Palms is fresh off of a recent (very expensive) renovation project – The property shines and there’s more to see than A.Y.C.E. Buffet, Imperial Sushi & Seafood Buffet, Yama Sushi, The Buffet at Luxor, Silverton Casino, Palace Station Hotel and Casino, South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa. Location: For folks staying on the Strip, having to take a $10-$15 Uber lessens the value proposition a bit.
Some Sloppy Food Stations: Almost unavoidable at a popular and busy buffet, but there were a number of sloppy stations where previous guests had spilled while serving themselves, which is visible in the pictures above. Not a huge deal, but nobody ever wants the last of anything. Especially on the dessert table, there were plenty of nearly empty trays.
You no longer need to wear a mask in Las Vegas if you are fully vaccinated, according to Gov Sisolak, who is following the CDC Guidance.
Picked Over Options: Some buffet items were a bit picked over and were slow to be replenished. Update May 19: All of Las Vegas will reopen at 100 capacity on June 1 Update May 18: Bacchanal Buffet is opening on May 20th, and the Monorail is reopening on May 27th at 7am. I’m nitpicking here, as my experience was very positive overall.
