The buffet itself is a massive, highly staffed affair with nine live-action stations, each attended by a friendly chef popping pizzas into a brick oven, wokking up Chinese food, or running the Southern soul food station (which sometimes has chicken fried steak with gravy). It may also be the most spacious buffet in town, with tables that are shouting distance apart and comfortable chairs. At lunch, sunshine pours through the lovely stained glass windows, one of the few in-casino eateries that allows sunlight to enter (blame Vegas’ large vampire clientele, I guess).
Reminiscent of a Victorian train station, its ceilings are grandly arched, covered with white tile and small pinpoint lights, which glow daintily at dinnertime. The Garden Court Buffet is Downtown’s prettiest and most extensive buffet-and a darn good deal at less than half what the Strip casinos are charging for meals.
