The Buffet at TI, Las Vegas

Flying into Vegas takes a good long time from Kentucky. So, naturally, once we got into Sin City we were starting to feel the grumpy sounds of hunger. After losing my luggage (myself... not the airline) and getting shuttled around all the terminals at McCarran International Airport, you could say we were hungry enough to eat a horse. Luckily, there was a buffet in sight.

Upon checking into Treasure Island (or TI as they like to be referred), we received a 2-for-1 deal at The Buffet, as well as a 2-for-1 cocktail at any of the hotel's lounges. We dropped our luggage off at our petite suite and headed down to grab something to eat. We were excited to find out that along with our buffet, we could purchase "all you can drink champagne" for just $4 more. So yeah, we decided to take them up on that offer. We were seated at a nice table with a good view of what The Buffet offered. And off we went...


My friend sampled the Asian fare, including fresh sushi, while I opted for more of an American plate, country fried steak and barbeque. Everything tasted great. We enjoyed trying this and that, but I must say that only one plate was good for me. After a few glasses of champagne, we decided it was time to check out the dessert section.

I would say that the food at The Buffet was really good, but the desserts were amazing. I know we looked like crazy vultures bringing back plates full of yummy sweetness, but we had to try a little of nearly everything. There were chocolate pudding cups with fresh cream and chocolate shavings, tarts of fruits and berries, cupcakes of many flavors, and donuts. Yes... fresh, hot, homemade donuts. These were probably the best things in that entire buffet. There were glazed donuts and chocolate covered donuts, caramel frosted donuts and powdered sugar donuts. They were heavenly. So good, in fact, that my friend decided she was going to sneak some into her bag for later. Hahaha!

I guess you could say we enjoyed our trip to The Buffet at TI. A few days later we ate at another buffet at South Point Hotel and Casino just off the strip... it wasn't nearly as good as The Buffet at TI. I know every hotel/casino in Las Vegas has some sort of amazing buffet and there's no way to try them all out without staying for months, but this one was really great.
