Buffet at Palms"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The new A.Y.C.E. (“All You Can Eat”) buffet at Palms doesn’t officially open until Dec. 22, 2017, but who the hell can wait? Did we mention it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet?<\/p>\n

We popped in for a security breach on an employee “play DAY,” and A.Y.C.E. looks great.<\/p>\n

Gluttony has a new home, A.Y.C.E. buffet at Palms.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Palms, part of Red Rock Casinos (a\/k\/a Station Casinos) has undertaken a massive $485 million renovation, including new restaurant offerings, and A.Y.C.E. is part of that plan.<\/p>\n

Check out our epic overview of 22 new things coming to Palms resort<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As is the law in Las Vegas, Palms says of the new buffet: “Worldly cuisine presented in an innovative, technique-focused fashion will be the signature of A.Y.C.E., which will host guests in an open food hall setting.”<\/p>\n

\"AYCE
During NFR, “A.Y.C.E.” stands for “All y’all, come eat!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Seriously, Vegas can’t help itself. Here’s more: “A.Y.C.E. will define the Vegas buffet not only with elevated and eclectic food displays but also in its modernized presentation, where we focus on the method of preparation.”<\/p>\n

So, yeah, it’s a Las Vegas buffet.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Las Vegas tends to get buffets right. Judging by the interior design, A.Y.C.E. is hitting a lot of the right notes.<\/p>\n

A.Y.C.E. features seven food stations, all of which sound like varieties of weed.<\/p>\n

1. The Greenery features seasonal salads and fruits. This station is right up front, but don’t fall for that old trick! Buffet pros skip salads and head for all things meat.<\/p>\n

2. The Hearth features a brick oven for casseroles, pizzas, whole fish and English pasties. English pasties, of course, are very popular with pole dancers in London.<\/p>\n

We love pizza, so at A.Y.C.E., home is where The Hearth is.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3. The Roastery has a rotisserie and wood-burning grill to make a variety of international fare like braised oxtail poutine, French onion beef sliders, calamari steaks, chicken teriyaki and quesadillas.<\/p>\n

4. World Pan has more international fare like vegetable paella, Moroccan lamb, dim sum and other Asian favorites.<\/p>\n

5. Smoke & Fire is for meat-lovers, with glazed ham, ribs, hot links, smoked brisket and others.<\/p>\n

6. Revival will focus on healthy dishes, with vegan, vegetarian and anti-inflammatory cuisine. Personally, we prefer our buffets inflammatory, but we’re open to trying it!<\/p>\n

7. Sweet & Light is the dessert station, also known as “Where this blog begins and ends every all-you-can-eat buffet.”<\/p>\n

A.Y.C.E. will be open seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

We can’t wait to put on our expandable-waistband pants and try the new A.Y.C.E. buffet at Palms. The resort’s former Bistro Buffet was in need of a serious do-over, and this appears to be one of those.<\/p>\n
