Lago Buffet

Reservation counter person told me and families to wait in buffet queue and we were literally kicked out saying we were queue without paying and the staff allowed everyone behind us to go in. We were with two kids and is was roaming around for 45 mins with starving kids. What else can we say about this. They suck

We ate here as part of our Buffet of Buffets 24 hour pass. This was our last stop, and I must admit we were not that hungry. Still, we decided to be pigs and fill up some more.
We arrived for an early lunch, and there was about a 20 minute wait. This was acceptable. The atmosphere was fine, and the service was as well.
The buffet options were limited. The place was pretty small compared to most other buffets on the Strip. This surprised me cause this is Caesar’s Palace. Still, we were fine with the food options. Nothing tasted bad. Nothing tasted excellent either. So just okay overall.
Unless, we were comped for eating here. I do not think that we would pay to eat here because there are many better choices in Las Vegas to spend your money.

So I took my parents here during Christmas Day because a lot of my friends raved about the food. They were in deed open. We stood in line for 4 hours waiting to get in. The sign outside said it was approximately a 3 hour wait. After standing there for 3 hours we find out there was an express line. That if you paid extra $ 20 your can get in faster. AFTER STANDING there for 3 hours it seemed pointless to pay that freaken $ 20…now. Just wished someone from the hotel would have let us know… sooner…
ANYways, we still ended up waiting another hour to get in to the damn buffet. so sad.
By that time we were obviously starving. I felt so bad for my parents… as we get in its about 10:30pm and they told us we had to hurry because they were about to close in 30 mins. So basically we had to rush an get the left over food because they weren’t cooking anything fresh anymore and then get out…
I was super pissed that they didn’t have the courtesy to inform people this information as they were standing in line. They just let all of us wait… i was so disappointed with the customer service. I had to write this review! DONT LET THIS happen TO you!

I never knew Caesars had a buffet until I found about the Lagos buffet and I was excited to try it and had big expectations since it was in Caesars Palace, Harrah’s top tier property. The line to get in was very long unless you were a Diamond or higher Total Rewards member.
The buffet wasn’t what I expected and compares to the Treasure Island’s Buffet, small and limited selection.

Came to Vegas and super excited. Seeing our choices for the 24 hour buffet pass, we thought Caesars must be good since its a major casino.
Well. We had to wait two hours in line to enter. One cashier only. A manager was looking over her but not jumping on the register. His excuse? I don’t know how to run the register. Then he was lost for one hour looking for another cashier. This line was on the brink of a full blown riot.
Got in exhausted. Food was mediocre at best.

Why are people so harsh on buffets? Maybe it’s on the service rather than the food? I dunno.
Anyways, I really enjoyed this buffet. I had the 24 hour buffet pass and this one was wonderful compared to the others.
The pastas and the desserts were notable and the other foods were all-​around good. Not the largest selection, but it what they did serve was very tasty.
I liked this buffet and that’s all that really matters.

This was the last buffet my boyfriend and I came to on our BOB adventure. We had just eaten at the Rio and came to Lago really for desserts.
But of course, when we got there, we decided to eat some regular foods. This buffet was definitely the smallest of the three we went to. Actually, I think this buffet is smaller than Hometown Buffet.
Anyways, I ate some bread… after doing some searching for butter. I know, it sounds minimal, but I really wanted bread and butter… but the butter is not with the bread? It’s over by the salad part station, weird. Anyways, I got my bread and butter. I also got some ribs, but I was SO full that I think I only ate one. It tasted good, but I was so full that I really didn’t want to eat anymore.
I all the food settle though before going over to the desserts. At first, I didn’t see the desserts and was like «WTF»!!! But then realized that it was in the middle of the restaurant. I agree, the desserts are the best here!
Service was a little slow on refilling drinks. He’d take our plates, but wouldn’t ask if we wanted a refill, when we obviously had no more soda left. And the lady that was working as the cashier was super slow. I’m glad we had a lot of time to spare because I would have been sad if we didn’t make it into this last one because the lady was ringing so slowly.
Due to the small selection, I wouldn’t come here on it’s own. There’s not enough to feel like I’d get my money’s worth here. But if you’re doing the BOB, coming here for the desserts is good enough!

This is the worst buffet I have been to in Las Vegas.
It reminds mind of a comic strip that I saw in the Chicago Tribune Sports section many years ago where the whole Russian baseball team had to take the walk of shame out of the dugout into the clubhouse and be replaced by a whole new team walking from the clubhouse to the dugout because the first team sucked. This is what Ceasar’s Palace should do to the chefs that work on this buffet.
The pork chops and prime rib were dried out and inedible. The apple that I tried was old with that brown stuff inside. The three bean salad had cilantro sprinkled all over, who does that? I could go on and on, I will post pictures at a later time.

An average buffet at a world known hotel/​resort/​casino.
One of the Buffet of Buffets tour. Cesar’s Lago is just ok with it’s own jems. Overall the selection is very limiting. You have the standard buffet items roast beef, mac n cheese, desserts, a few asian, italian, and american fare.
A few items i tried,
Crab legs — very salty and hard to peel. Most seafood is from frozen, but this offering wasn’t top notch.
Meat carvings — pretty good, average for buffets
Omalete station — pretty good, a friend got a custom omelete i had a few bites from. should have got that. haha
Dessert — decent selection with and ice cream/​gelato station
Sushi — three items, wasn’t appetizing at all. avoid the sushi.
This isn’t one of the buffets to go out of your way for. Unless you find yourself walking by, have the buffet pass and need some quick grub.
Service was good for us, no issue with that. However, there are far better buffets to go to in the Buffet of Buffet list. 2.5stars

My friends and I got the all day buffet pass and decided to come here for dinner since we figured Caesars Palace would deliver on a meal with lots of grandeur.
Well, let me say… we were SHOCKED to see the small selection. The stuff I tried was OK, not great.
tri tip — pretty flavorful and they offered different temps of meat
salads — served in individual glass cups. kinda cool I guess
dumplings — your usual potstickers
pasta with tomato sauce — pasta a little too soft for my taste
Honestly, I expected more. My friends were sooooo disappointed we wasted part of our meal here, we decided to bounce and head on over to the buffet at Planet Hollywood. Good thing we got the pass because I would’ve been extremely unhappy paying full price for this buffet alone.
Service was friendly though so I give them that! There was very little grandness to it all overall. Surprising because as we looked out the window to the pool, we saw a HUUUGE pool area and amazing fountains. The buffet itself was very plain and casual. What a weird contrast.

Buffet of Buffets Stop #2 — Monday 2pm (7÷4÷11).
Despite the low ratings from others, I actually had a decent dining experience while eating at Lago Buffet. It is quite difficult to find and yes, the selections are somewhat limited. However, it is one of the BETTER buffets among Harrah’s Buffet of Buffets in terms of QUALITY.
The line was long due to the long weekend, but the good is that they served Dinner Menu All Day long. Once seated, our waiter took our drink orders and surprisingly, even their soft drinks (Orange Juice, in this matter) taste better than Spice Market Buffets, I wonder why.
Food wise, selections are limited, few breads, few salad toppings/​dressing, Chilled Shrimp, Crab legs, Prime Rib and Ham, Sushi Roll, BBQ Chicken.etc. However, the desserts occupied most part of the buffet. Its extensive, carefully made, and delicious.
I highly recommend this buffet for part of the Buffet of Buffet journey. Its perfect for lunch/​afternoon tea or sweet lovers.

Mac n’ Cheese, Potatoes, Pork chops (super dry) and breads was hard.
Service was awful, I mean how many times do we have to flag you down to get our drinks refilled? When they do get filled sodas seem really flat, I ended up just drinking the water.
I would say the best two things that I had that night were Pizza and Ice Cream. The person working the ice cream stand was super funny. I wish I could remember his name, but yeah made my night and glad he did cause the food wasn’t all that good.
Save your money for some where else or if you have the 24hr buffet pass, I would say avoid this one and go to another one.

Pretty lame excuse for a buffet to be honest with you! Caesars has a pretty good reputation on the Strip so maybe I was expecting too much but I didn’t think it’d be this bad! Lunch and Dinner selections were very limited and nothing really stood out about the food at all.
It’s not HORRIBLE though! I enjoyed breakfast here. The sausage and biscuits were really good and they had made to order eggs benedict. I also liked the sausage table with the different varities. It is a part of the buffet of buffet’s pass and we ate here a ton of times since we stayed in the Augustus Tower and the buffet is literally 3 min away from our room. Service was also pleasant everytime so that’s always nice.
Really 2.5 stars, but I’m being generous with 3 stars. I’m glad breakfast was good here because it’s nice to wake up and be able to use my pass right downstairs. But lunch and dinner, not so worthwhile. waste your calories at better buffets!

Buffet of Buffets Marathon — Stop #1 of 7 9:00 AM
The first stop in the BoB tour, I was very excited and had a game plan of trying to pace myself… that plan flew out the window within 5 minutes… ha!
The line wasn’t long at all and our party of 6 was seated right away in a comfortable table near the buffet. Since it was breakfast, I went for some Potatoes, Sticky Bun, and a Veggie Omelet on the 1^st round… the Omelet was huge and was the item that put me off pace. It was all very good.
Then, someone in the group mentioned that there was Pizza… what?! At breakfast?! I had to try it… so I grabbed two slices of Pizza… that really blew my plan out of the water! The Pizza was OK… I should have only had 1 slice, but I couldn’t help it.
They were serving Champagne and Mimosas, so that was a nice bonus… yum!
Overall, the service was very good, the selection and quality of food was above average. If I wasn’t on my no-​Meat fast I would have tried the carving station and had a few more items… next time.
Return Factor — 90%

First buffet in the Buffet of Buffets tour. I was only here for breakfast so I can’t really judge the offerings later in the day. However, the buffet seems small and I don’t see it offering too much in terms of variety.
The nice thing about this buffet is that they do offer champagne and bloody marys in the breakfast price. Most buffets make you wait for the brunch hour around 10:30am. A couple of mimosas started our Buffet of Buffets tour off right!
They offer sticky buns and roasted chicken for breakfast. So they try to keep it interesting. The grits were pretty good but the scrambled eggs were runny. Nothing really looked fantastic and I was starving! I’m not sure if it was the lighting or something, but nothing looked good.
Nice view of the pool. This was one of only two buffets in the Buffet of Buffets that had an outside view.
Decent buffet but it has size limitations.

After checking out some M&Ms and the World of Coca-​Cola, we decided to get our eat on… Thank you Buffet of Buffets.
There was a line… it was about 5:30pm… I was excited about the second buffet. Since some of my friends had to take off to watch Phantom at 7:00 (I was seeing the Jabbawockeez at 9:30), I waited behind while the server brought us our cokes and waters.
We get seated near the desserts… I wanted to eat them all first! I did things the right way this time… I checked out all the food before deciding what to load up on. I went to the pasta station and got the cheese raviolis. These were super good, but me and dairy ain’t friends, so I took it easy on them. They were swimming in a cream sauce. Wowie. I got a big piece of meat from the carving station… I didn’t see any horseradish, but it was still good with gravy. I got a beet salad that came in its own cute little glass. I got a tomato and mini-​bocconcini salad in its own cute little glass. It came on a bed of lettuce and there was way too much dressing. I liked that it had dressing on it already and that I didn’t have to fumble for it. That was it for the entrée portion of my meal. I had my eyes set one dessert.
For dessert, I had a beautiful crème brûlée. It was really soft in its tiny ramekin so my favourite part about crème brûlée was a let down: I love cracking the top really hard with my spoon so the brulee shatters and I get a bit with every bite of custard. This was kind of fluid, but the taste of it was sooooooooooooooo yummy… just a bit firmer and it would have been perfect.
The mini lemon meringue was good. The fluffy meringue paired really well with the tart lemony filling. It was a one bite thing… I am sure most people would take two, but it was just so easy to pop the whole thing in my mouth and let all the flavours meld together.
I had a dark chocolate mousse in a cup. That was nice. It’s kind of like a truffle, but in a cup and lighter… It was decorated nicely with a marbled piece of white chocolate.
I also had a chocolate tarte decorated with gold. Yes, that’s right… GOLD! The crust tasted like shortbread. It was good, but I didn’t finish it. I instead opted to finish the cheesecake of one of my friends who had to run… she told me it was wonderful. It was… I love plain cheesecake… and I got another crème brûlée.
The server was nice… our drinks were brought fast. I think he was really busy because he seemed o be the only one in our area… the busboys were good too… they really hustled to take care of all our plates…

For the price of $ 29.99 per person we spent at this place, even though they served champagne for brunch… was not worth the total. The food was poorly made and prepared for a buffet style atmosphere. The crab legs and cocktail shrimp where very salty and barely chilled with the amount of iced used to keep the seafood cold, on top of that there were no small cups for the cocktail sauce available, they gave me a soup bowl. The cook making omelettes was very rushed in cooking where the eggs were not cooked all the way and the bacon was too salty.
At the table, there were hardly any servers around to ask for drinks and anything else we could possibly need. So I ended up serving myself the drinks for our party since no one was available.
I only gave a few dollars tip for seating us and bringing out champagne in the beginning… and they still had the nerve to give me a mean mug look when we left with not even a «thanks come again» type of remark… I will be taking my brunch somewhere else next time I visit Vegas

If you purchase a Buffet of Buffets pass, don’t waste your time waiting in line for the buffet at Café Lago. This was the most underwhelming buffet of the three that I went to (Le Village in Paris and Carnival World Buffet in Rio). I expected a lot more since it is located inside Caesars.
So, the wait was about 45 minutes, which was bearable. When we were finally seated, we were put in those circular booth tables by the front. Very inconvenient to get in and out, but hey, I’m not gonna give up my seat after waiting for so long. But really, there was a lot of seat changing and scooting in and out of the booth.
Sadly, the food was unspectacular. So unspectacular that I don’t even remember what I had. I do remember snow crab legs (my friend claims they use Challenge butter here; she says it’s delicious). What I do remember is that the lobster bisque should be avoided. It didn’t taste anything like lobster. I expected there to be more options food-​wise, but not much was offered.
The dessert section looks big, but it’s the same desserts over and over again. I also saw some flies buzzing around, so approach with caution. Nothing really memorable here.
Our waiter (I’ll just call him M) was really nice and attentive. M. checked on us often and always walk away saying «Continue enjoying!» Nice guy! What was strange was that he kept telling us to drink our waters and made it a point that we should finish it all. I don’t know why he was so concerned. Maybe he knew that we were going to have a wild night and didn’t want us to get dehydrated.

We came here because we got the buffet of buffets pass, and it turned out to be a really good deal! Because you can eat at any of the 8 participating buffets, for $ 39.99, for total rewards members, which we are! And it’s $ 45.99 for non-​members! Which is still a great deal!
I have to say, this place has the best salmon ever! We came here, and I was hungry, and it was around lunch time! And of course I love to eat healthy (HA!), so I picked up a piece of salmon, and it was like biting into a piece of heaven! It was so buttery and wonderful!
This buffet is smaller than other buffets, and it is kind of hard to find, because it’s tucked into the corner of Caesar’s palace. But other than that, this place is pretty cool! You get a view of the pool, with the statues, and it looks amazing!
The dessert bar was very good too! Sure they don’t have ice cream, but they have a section of low fat desserts, which by the way, is good for people, who are trying to watch their weight! Like me! :)

Café Lago is the worst buffet among all of Harrah’s casinos. Yes, even worse than Imperial Palace. For around $ 13 (brucn) at IP, I didn’t expect much but cafeteria food and it delivered (good omelet). But for $ 25 at Lago Buffet, I would at least expect SOMETHING a little, just a little, more. But I got NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING!
There were very few selections/​varieties. Italian station only offered 4 different pasta and looked like canned food. The carving station offered Turkey and Prime Rib. The Prime Rib was not prime at all. My fiancé asked for the end cut. It was so tough that he couldn’t cut it with a regular knife. And guess what, the server said they didn’t have any steak knife! The only thing somewhat edible was the Roast Chicken.
The salad station was pretty pathetic, no hard boiled eggs, beans, mushroom, or celery. What the heck? This is a buffet, the least you could do is offer a descent salad bar!
There were 3 kind of sushi rolls, none I would even dare to touch. And the Chinese station had 3 dishes — stir fry shrimp, beef, and fried rice. There were also 2 different steam buns. And the dessert station had nothing, absolutely nothing that even looked remotely appetizing! Give me a break!
Caesars is supposed to be the better (if not best) hotel among Harrah’s chain, but it has the worst restaurants (yes, I’ve tried a few). Lago buffet just proved it again.
If you must have buffet because you want to use your comp for food at Harrah’s, take my advise and go to Rio’s. At least it’s edible there. Whoever is in charge of the restaurant at Caesars should be fired! Whoever runs the Lago Buffet at Caesars should be kicked in the a$$.
