Aliante Casino Hotel

My friends and I ate at the buffet for breakfast. We got there close to the end of breakfast time but it was still fully stocked and most was fresh. The pre-made omelets were not fresh or stuffed with anything. But they do have an on demand cooking station where you can order the omelet with whatever you want and they will cook it in front of you while you wait. That chef was very nice and was joking with the customers. The selection is great but I would have liked an item or 2 more of Hispanic dishes. When they started setting up for lunch we were able to watch some of the chefs cooking the new foods. One was doing the hamburger and chicken station. We believe he wasn't cooking the meat patties correctly. He put the patties on the grill and walked away to do something else. The patties were quickly were engulfed in flames and looked over cooked by the time the chef came back. He flipped them all over and the flames from the grill were shooting well above the chefs head up into the hood of the grill station. Our table was near by and we could feel the heat of the flames. Their cooking method is not so much the concern but that it left us wondering the taste and if they were overbooked. We saw what looked like a manager or quality inspector walking around. He late went to that same chefs station and engaged in some conversation about the chicken he placed earlier. We couldn't hear what was said but it was obvious the manager/inspector was not pleased. We watched as they checked the temperature with a thermometer, more conversation, then the chef removed All of the chicken from the station. That left us both happy that they actually check the foods and make sure they are removed if there are any concerns. Overall it was a great experience with great food. The inspection and removal of food added a star. The decor is dated, plain, and frankly unappealing which lowered the star rating. The price is comparable to most buffets and a better deal if you get a players/club card. We didn't pay for or try the lunch buffet but we would recommend the breakfast.
