Red velvet pancakes, wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas, South Carolina shrimp and grits…even Chinese dim sum. If you've eaten it, the Bacchanal Buffet likely has it.

"It's all about bacchanal, a celebration," buffet general manager Gabrielle Perez, formerly of major buffet rival Wynn Las Vegas, told USA Today.
