We got a late start. Since we knew we were meeting Andrew for a late dinner, we opted to wander down to the buffet. The buffet at the Luxor is decorated to look like an archaeological dig. It's not a bad effect, though it's getting worn around the edges. For example, some places where they used concrete to simulate large sandy areas have started to crack and pull back from the edges.
Seating is handled by a group of women in suits with earpieces, directing traffic around the room. (Khakis and pith helmets would have fit the theme better…) Once you're shown your seat, a waitress takes your drink order and you're free to roam the room.
The food was decent, and much of it was on the bland side. This is not the Bellagio (which was amazing when I went back in 2001), but at $15 a person it was a good deal (on a Vegas scale). They had a variety of Americanized ethnic food, but Kathy and I stuck primarily with the salad bar. A little vegetation was welcome at this point, though the selection could have been better. Desserts were good.
