Green Valley and Red Rock buffet update

I just returned last week from LV and went to both Green Valley and Red Rock. GV on Saturday night and RR on Tuesday. I was looking forward to both.

I knew that GV had taken crablegs off their dinner buffet from previous LVA postings so I wasn't disappointed not to have them. What came as a great surprise was that both GV and RR have taken prime rib off their nighttime buffet. BUMMER.... GV has consistently had some of the best and most affordable prime anywhere in Vegas. To not serve it on a Saturday night was a real letdown. I told the waitress this and she brought the mgr over and he told me that this policy was adopted about a week before at all the Stations properties. No prime, none of the time. I told him I would rather pay more than the 12.99 promo price and have some of their top prime. O well.

As for RR....I tried a piece of their roast beef (the beef that's supposed to take the place of their prime).
I couldn't cut it, much less eat it. Another bummer. Shrimp and sushi were excellent though.

Bottom line.....I guess you get what you pay for.

We ate at about 8 GVR buffets last week, and only one of them, Sunday Dinner (not Brunch) had the carving station Salmon with Dill sauce, which is excellent. The carved salmon (not a tub of salmon pieces) is the reason we stay, play, and eat at GVR. Now that the salmon has been cut back and is unpredictable, we are no longer spending time there.

I can't wait until they raise the prices. This is getting ridiculous.

I hate it when a buffet serves a roast beef made to look as much like prime rib as possible. Seems a waste to me because I figure there a lot of others besides me that cut into and take one bite of that tough dry roast beef and throw it away.

I knew the crab legs had gone by the wayside but now Prime rib makes it hardly worht the effort to visit either on them (GVR-or-RR). Let see how many ways can you make chicken. Instead of raising the price the people in charge maybe figure if the selection is cut back the customer count will drop and we can lay-off more help. I swear with all the problems Las Vegas is facing you would think they would follow the show prices and just increase the price. As the old saying goes "when the going gets tough--the tough gets going" or something like that. Maybe they need to step back and re-group. Only time will tell. Had the poster and two replies and none were postive and I'm sure if more reply they won't get too much better. The better places Wynn, Wicked spoon, and Aria have raise the price in some areas hopefully they will maintain the quality.

One thing I told the manager at RR....
If the price of prime is too great to let the grazing public eat 24 ounces at a sitting (I understand that), give each diner a small ticket for one cut of prime per dinner paid for. You can hand the ticket to the carver when you go thru the line.

Seems to me it would be an easy solution.....just thinking out loud.

Too bad you couldn't have had MY Prime rib, lol, cuz I didn't take any.

I could tell you the chicken was mighty fine, and roast turkey really good, at RR.
Had a mini Thanksgiving & chinese on my plate. lol
All was good. But No beef.

That news absolutely sucks.

I don't care about the seafood, but the lack of prime rib will make me think twice before I eat there.

Couldn't care less about prime rib, so the lack of it won't affect my decision to eat at either of those places. Connie and I really enjoy the food at Red Rock. GVR is OK.

Actually we are beef people, but we've always thought GVR prime rib tasted like a normal roast Better PR at other caasinos. We probably ate at GVR 20 times but now prefer RR.

Ditto.

If I want prime rib, I'll go order some at Coronado Cafe @ South Point or one of the main specials downtown. I go to the buffets for quality. I'm not a huge fan of Prime Rib.....so no biggie.

However, the crab legs not being offered kinda bites.

Red Rock buffet is still quality for the price.
