I'll start with 4 stars for the Bayside Buffet, located in Mandalay Bay, for the food. They kept the shrimp coming, they had some really killer steak, and the fruit was ripe and edible.\n\nHowever, they had us standing just inside their entry area for about 15 minutes while they tried to figure out if they could accommodate our group of 10, regardless of the fact that we had told them they could just split us up and put us anywhere. We could see huge expanses of tables open. No idea what the hell was going on there. By the time we had been seated, several of the guys had already gone and eaten two plates worth of breakfast.\n\nDrinks were served quickly enough, though there was some confusion as to who ordered what.\n\nPrice was reasonable for a buffet with the quality of food they had. But there is a lot of competition in this town. I seriously didn't need to be standing there that long, caffeine-less.
