Bacchanal Buffet at Caesar's Palace

I dined with a group of 9 at the new Bacchanal Buffet at Caesar's Palace on Tuesday, October 2nd a few weeks after their Grand Opening and was quite happy to discover it's currently living up to the hype. There was a huge line of customers waiting to pay and be seated, however our group had 2 Diamond members among them, Laurie and Manette so we were able to get in very quickly.  Also due to how busy they are and I don't see them not being busy in the future if they continue to serve high quality food for a buffet, it's difficult to get large parties seated at the same table and we had to break up our group into 2 tables that were in the same room but not next to each other.

The nine glassed in show kitchens are clean with friendly staff working in them. However the evening we ate there the service to clean up our table as we left to get more food was very slow at times.

Almost everything I tried that evening was good and currently better quality then the Wynn, Bellagio and Wicked Spoon Buffets on the strip. I also ate at Wynn's Buffet for lunch this trip and it's really gone downhill from the last time I ate there. Of course like Wicked Spoon the Bacchanal Buffet might be they start out great and have the quality lowered, so keep in mind my opinion is based on the first few weeks they are open when they are trying to get good reviews and impress people.

 Like Wicked Spoon a lot of food items are served in their separate dishes so you don't have to spoon food onto your plate.

 The plate above with the red and white squares is watermelon and feta cheese and is quite good if you like the two.

 The quality of the shrimp and crab legs is excellent at the moment. I didn't have to ask to have my crab legs heated as when I was looking at them the server behind the glass asked if I wanted steam crab and then served me some they had just heated.

The dish on the right is shrimp and grits which was very tasty. The soup on the left was the lobster bisque with bacon and it was delicious. The portion though was a bit large and my friend Boots was able to have them put it in a smaller container that the server still garnish just like the large one and it was the perfect size for tasting.

The top left is a chocolate soufflé they also had vanilla. Unfortunately mine was a little dry because it had been sitting for a few minutes before being served to me. However Laurie later had one that they just made and it was very moist. Timing is everything with soufflés!

For now it's my opinion their selection of desserts are the best on the strip with the most variety with the exception there are few sugar free desserts. Above is the made to order crepe station.

Above is the delicious crepe they made for me with nutella inside with raspberries and whip cream, raspberries and a drizzle of nutella on top.

 The following photos are taken from the dessert station.

Would I return to the Bacchanal Buffet in the future? I would love to return and eat there again if the quality stays the same as I experienced this time, though to avoid the lines I would try to only eat there when with a Diamond member or above. Is it worth standing in line with if you don't have a Diamond member or above with you, at this time if the quality continues to stay at this high level for a buffet I would say yes!
