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. 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. Later in the spring, Brass Fork will launch its comforting kitchen concept, currently open at Palace Station with an all-new menu, to even more Las Vegas Valley neighborhoods when it opens additional locations at Sunset Station, Santa Fe Station and Boulder Station in early April. The renovation, which began in July, is part of the massive restaurant relaunch the property is undergoing as a result of its purchase by Station Casinos. Especially on the dessert table, there were plenty of nearly empty trays. The Palms will re-open its buffet on Friday. Picked Over Options: Some buffet items were a bit picked over and were slow to be replenished.
I’m nitpicking here, as my experience was very positive overall.
