    It’s insane to me how many have worked there for 20+ years, that’s how you know they treat their workers well. Socorro looks amazing for 24 years, I was shocked at how youthful she still looks. Great video.

    I wasn't going to watch this, reflecting a long held low opinion of Vegas buffets. Apparently a lot has changed in the 20 or so years since I was last there! That food is pretty impressive and much more diverse. And for so many staff to have worked there for two decades or more, is even more impressive. I really REALLY wanna try that buffet!
