VEGAS, BABY!! – The Foodie Tour – Bayside Buffet



Price: Affordable
Atmosphere: 3 out of 5
Quality of Service: 3 out of 5
Food Overall: 4 out of 5

Ah, breakfast: The first meal of the day. Some say the most important meal of the day. I myself happen to find it’s my favorite meal of the day (mostly because a rarely sit down and enjoy a ‘good’ breakfast, and it usually comes with coffee.)

As we were headed to the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino for touristy stuff, we decided to grab breakfast at their Bayside buffet. Rows and rows of tables stretched far and wide, and the savory and sweet smells danced in your nostrils like a food ballet.

Like with the Bellagio, there is a typical fare in these types of eateries. Scrambled eggs, crisp bacon, sausage links, bagels, assorted muffins and the like are available for your consumption. Upscale versions of eggs benedict (with hollandaise!), biscuits and sawmill gravy, and a create-an-omelet bar really pushed this buffet to join the list here.

 Of course, I’d be selling it short if I didn’t talk about the pancakes. These were some of the best pancakes I’d ever had. Rolled up like an edible cigar, and stuffed with fresh blueberries, this was like one of those long decorative pillows you see at 5 star hotels. But with fruit in the middle.

Great coffee (which is key, in my opinion, to any great breakfast) and other delicious delectables like cheese blintzes with strawberry coulee or fresh carved salt ham make this a must stop on your early morning food hunt in Sin City.

After all, it’s just Da(m)n Good Food.
