    We came in for brunch buffet today. The wife and I thought we'd splurge on something nice and filling since we almost never do. We paid nearly $78 after tip for two people and what we ended up getting was disappointment. Breakfast options that lacked any sort of remnants of flavor, unless you added a lot of salt and pepper. Slimy, gross eggs. Bacon that was somehow crispy and soggy all at once. The sausage links seemed undercooked. The honey ham was fatty and gross. My wife went to get ice cream as dessert and it basically came out as cold liquid soup, rather than a frozen treat. She said it tasted sour. My wife and I sat and ate our breakfast disappointingly looking at each other the whole time and realizing our mistake. I remember coming here with my grandparents in its heyday, but it is no longer the buffet it used to be.

    I came for the prime rib. It was as dry as the Sierra Desert. No flavor to it I a little bit of it and I left it. I told the staff and they went back and they told the chef apparently. Other food was just as bad the only thing that was decent was pecan pie. The service was good the staff were friendly but the atmosphere less than perfect.

    My Spouse received a voucher for a free BUFFET last week on our weekly Casino Rendezvous. We decided to bring our grandson to the buffet yesterday. I payed $73 which included 15% gratuity and he used his voucher. Your process to redeem the voucher was for him to sign a copy of the receipt that was placed in the cashier's drawer. The lady that seated us was so rude to us that I had to tell her she was being very rude and she asked What's My Problem? I chose to not engage any further with her and told Sylvester and our grandson to ignore her and don't let her ruin our dinner and proceeded to the Buffet. Sylvester was stopped at the buffet and told to put his plate back because he did not pay. How embarrassing. People are staring and looking and he was walked away from your buffet empty handed. He came back to the table with the lady that worked there. I had him go in his pockets and he provided his receipt and then he was welcomed to go back and remake his plate. Why offer complimentary buffet for play if a person has to be belittled for using it? Why not use Communication Skills and communicate with your cashier's before confronting your guest and telling him to put his plate back? Why not let him take his already prepared plate back to the table and sort it out there? The host that seated us was kind to everyone else that she seated and the only difference between us and everyone else is Sylvester is an African American Man. Is this a Whites Only Buffet? We Didn't See Any Signs Posted. We got the message Loud & Clear. We Are Not Welcomed. We enjoyed our weekly Monday Rendezvous at your Casino but if we are not welcomed to eat we don't want to be welcomed to spend our money gambling. I guess we will try Harrah's moving forward and this will be made public. You Should Be Ashamed. Good Grief it's 2026 Although you can rebuttal that the way we were treated was not racially motivated and just Bad Manners You Cannot Tell A Black Man From The Delta What Racism Feels Like He Absolutely Felt It Please don't take my word, review your cameras. We were encountered NOT greeted shortly after 4:00 PM on Saturday, February 21, 2026.
