Poll : 08 April - 21 April 2009

Analysis

Wow, this was a decisive one, although the two front runners battled it out until the bitter end, with Bally's Sterling Brunch the slight leader until the latter stages. Here's some of your (as ever insightful) feedback, for which thanks:

• "My wife and I love the Paradise buffet at the Fremont. Though the selection is small, everything is always good. For the price you pay, it can't be beat downtown." (Bob L.)
• "Zefferino’s (at The Venetian) Sunday brunch is wonderful. The tables aren’t crowded, the waitstaff is very attentive, and the pistachio crusted lamb chops keep us coming back. Of course they lay out an abundant spread -- they all do -- but the quality seems several notches above the other buffets. Our chief complaint about Vegas buffets has always been the seating. At some you feel like you’re eating at a noisy and crowded food court. At Zefferino’s a patron sits in one of the attractive dining rooms, not in a makeshift room set up to accommodate the overflow due to the popularity of some brunches. Additionally, they don’t set aside a special area for high- llers or gold-card players like some do. Everyone gets the same special treatment. So even if you play elsewhere, Zefferino’s is still the top shelf experience."
• "How can unlimited lobster, shrimp, filet, and champagne not make this the number one brunch in Las Vegas? It doesn't get any better than this." (Mel in Henderson) [Ed: Mel! You didn't say which one you picked lol!. Let us know...]
• "I like Garduno's Margarita Brunch at the Palms. It is different than the usual carb-heavy spreads. Food is good and it is not expensive." (Elizabeth H.)
• "I don't enjoy the Sunday brunches at any of the casino/resorts. I have tried many of them and the only major difference I see between the brunches and their regular weekday lunches/breakfasts is the inclusion of champagne, which is not a favorite beverage of mine. Not worth the extra price." (Tom G.)
• "The Sterling Buffet is the best because it is over the top and a special meal compared to other brunches." (Matthew E.)
• "Since 1992, I have been going to Vegas several times a year for work and play. I have eaten at countless buffets at every property I can think of. My favorite is Bally’s Sterling Champagne Brunch. It's a little pricey, but well worth the money. It has all my favorite foods, and the service and ambience is exceptional. Even my husband and in-laws love it. When I'm ever in Vegas on a Sunday, I always try to eat at Bally’s Sterling Champagne Brunch."
• "Bellagio has the best Sunday brunch by far. The food is always fresh, the service good, and everyone I've ever taken is Wow'ed! I would say that Wynn and Mandalay Bay are second and third." (Cindy C.)
• "What a disappointment when Circus Circus closed the Sunday morning brunch. It was an event I frequented almost weekly when I was in town. I have tried Bally's and it is nice but pricey - the value was better at Circus Circus. I have done the Palms PJ brunch and I found the food only okay. I am out there looking for a roost for friends and me on Sundays now. I eagerly await the results of your poll." (Anon.)
• "My new favorite is the M. You don't have it listed. The food is fantastic, everything you'd expect including horizontally sliced king crab legs at a great price. Between the four of us there was not one dish that wasn't excellent. The wait was not terrible. We were there this last Sunday and waited in a very short initial line where they gave us a time to come back and wait in the buffet line. In that half-hour waiting time, we played a few slots, won some money and indulged in a few free soft drinks. Once it was our turn to wait in the buffet line, the wait was exactly one half-hour. This has to be one of the biggest and best buffets in town and don't even get me started on the desserts." (Carole G.)
• "Silverton wins because of that flavored spar
