Very interesting video....just when you thought it couldn't get worse, it did. My goodness! Seems like buffet needs a full overhaul including new management.
I think the underground Raiders of the Lost Ark-esque dining room that hasn't changed since the 1993 opening is still great to experience as a vestige of the theme trend of the 90's. In fact the theming for this buffet is so on point even the food is as dry and salty as the Egyptian desert.
This comment is 💯 Sums up everything I was thinking as I'm watching this lol. Hope Luxor never goes away simply because of the 90s theme park/adult Disneyland vibe.
The way Vegas casinos have become so anonymous and boring is sad. I miss the days when the casinos weren't afraid to lean into their theming. It was fun!
I remember as a kid, it was called Pharaoh’s Feast. Long lines all the time to get in. Food was always delicious and waiters actually served drinks. Sad to see how far it has declined
I had a bad feeling about the buffet when I saw how sloppily-maintained the serving dishes were and how shriveled the sausages looked- and that was just in the opening shots. Nobody is wiping up the spills around the food and a lot things look dried out or empty. That buffet is not worth $5. Unrefrigerated cream puffs, too, just in a basket. Aargh, don't keep eating the cold eggs, Derek! I will absolutely pass on this buffet! Thanks for taking it for the team Derek and Catherine!
Dude i love the addition of Catherine! Ty David you two are a delightful couple to watch . .. The chemistry is real! And im writing this on an older video to let you know ive been catching up almost binge watching your posts lol. Aight you two stay classy "peace and love" - syn.
That is a health code violation . Notice the omelette chef pulled a thermometer out of his shirt. Very dangerous to serve eggs cold like that!I am a retired chef. They will dry out or spoil before they get to any temp that is safe. Once you determined they were cold you should not have kept eating them. I am thinking they were yesterday’s leftover, refrigerated and were going to be passed off as fresh! Someone on the line ( lazy) didn’t bother to heat them thinking the steam tray would get them hot! 🤢I will definitely pass on this one
Since the buffet only operates Wed-Sun, and Derek said it was Wednesday.....maybe last Sunday's scrambled eggs were frozen and were put out partially thaw. Whatever the case, Luxor is a dump. I wouldn't eat an any restaurant there nor sleep in their beds. I'd bet $26.99 they have bed bugs too. I saw the icky room when Annette (the poker player) stayed there. Looks on par with a Motel 6 in Barstow.
It surprises me that there wasn’t someone temping every dish and recording the results. And what did the omelette cook sanitize his probe with, a wet cloth he had sitting around? They also need an attendant to circle the buffet with some sanitizer and wipe up the spills.
"At this point, I just want to know if it’s edible." Derrick cracks me up & is keeping it real. I don’t need the Chopped-judge-critique on every buffet item.
Just wanted to share this with you...I broke my leg on a broken sidewalk going to check-in at Caesars, so we were very limited but still went ahead and saw shows and made most of our reservations (we were celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary). I gotta tell you Lavo's weekend brunch was one of our favorites, they were sooo nice, and the food was incredible!!! We also enjoyed Nine Fine Irishmen, and Hugo's Cellars (although broke leg right after we left and didn't get to enjoy the steak....it was my leftovers), Chicago Pub was great, and the High Roller with the bar was FABULOUS (GET THE BAR)!! Bacchanal Buffet although waitress was nice, the one seating us was quick to tell me that I would be in the way and I needed to use crutches so my husband ran the whole time (try caring a plate and crutches?) and that would have been fine, if she hadn't let someone at least 20 years younger than me go along with her scooter (she almost ran over one man and was driving crazy...she had a wrap around her knee and honestly didn't look like she was hurting at all?) I'm gonna tell you ...breaking your leg and having to use Handicapped for everything really opens your eyes!! The places we LOVED, we above and beyond and shows Criss Angel and Absinthe will work with you to help you. I normally get around just fine...so maybe this will help someone with mobility issues?
I paused the video to go get a drink, and when I came back I noticed the look on your face where I paused it. It was at 25:28, and that look says it all, LOL.
Sorry for your bad egg-sperience, but this was one of the most entertaining videos you have made. I could not stop laughing. And the look on Catherine’s face when you asked her to tray the eggs was classic. Keep up the good work.
It was an honest look and taste of Luxor. I felt really bad for you guys and as always, you both were so gracious. Don't think I will bisit Luxor Buffet until they can put out some good quality food. Thanks you guys. Loved tour review of the Luxor.❤
It's always amazing how when someone is frustrated about one aspect of the meal, every subsequent element of the experience is suspect and everything seems sub-par.
Hey hi, Derek and Catherine and I I don’t know what to say. The food did not look very appetizing, but I think you both made the best of a bad situation, and tried to accentuate the positive, but was very difficult because everything seem not to be prepared at the correct temperature, but I will say that is the problem with most buffets the food is ice cold, so you want to go to the stations where they could put some thing in a pan or on a grill and serve it up hot and you have to improvise which you both done very well I don’t think either of you will make a bad video. It’s just when you go to someplace and the food is not quite up to par the way you describe it will help the viewer whether it’s in a good sense or the bad sense‘s not all food is going to be great and taste great, and you learn from that anyway, you did the best you could and I enjoyed the video anyway
My 2nd biggest concern for our upcoming Vegas trip (next to Covid) is the understaffed facilities. I also believe that a lot of the restaurants are using very new/green staff and they haven't worked out the finer details of preparing/serving food. This is my impression of part of the problem that you guys experienced. Either that or there is a severe inventory shortage and they only have popcorn to serve!!!!!
Omg cold eggs ...how DISCUSTING!!!!!Thank u Derrick for saying something alot of people wouldn't have said a word !!!!I'm like you I totally would have complained also,poor Catherine I hope you had went to get some hot eggs!!!!I mean your paying for food so it should be hot and also eggs have SALMONELLA!!!!!I HOPE THE REST OF YOUR DINING WAS BETTER GUYS GREAT VIDEO!!!!👍👍💜♥️💗💙💞💜...After watching the whole video I'm never going there lol...I would not pay 5$for ANY OF THAT FOOD JUST HORRIBLE!!!!IM SO SORRY YOU GUYS PAID FOR THIS BUFFET ...26.99$I could have gotten a bucket of popeyes chicken with the sides lol and been oh so satisfied lol thank you guys for sacrificing lol!!!!!
“Does it cost more on the weekend?” “Let’s hope it doesn’t” 😂 Thank you guys for really trying to stick with the review and continued to eat. After the cold eggs. I think I would have asked for a refund. You guys are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I ate at the MGM Buffet this week and would be interested in your opinion before declaring Luxor the champion. I needed a steak knife for the pancakes and the gravy for biscuits and gravy was nothing more than brown colored water. While any buffet can have heating issues, I do admit having popcorn puts Luxor in a whole new category. I do believe closing the buffet at 3pm does cut down on the number of health code violations.
You two are hilarious.....awesome video! You had a winner at the all you can eat bread at bellagio, and now all you can eat chilled scrambled eggs at luxor. Not sure which buffet is worse. Thank you for sharing.
Derek, you are always so pleasant and polite no matter the situation. Kudos to you for that. This buffet is screaming to me to STAY AWAY. Not only is it over priced and under delivered, I don't want to take up real estate space in my tummy for a good buffet. This is an eggs, eggs and more eggs buffet with popcorn on the side.....all for $26.99! LOL
Not shocking that buffet has always been bad. Tried two times never again. It’s worse than Golden Corral. Just stick to wicked spoon at cosmo. Perfect everything including service and the best desserts on any buffet. I rather pay $38 for great food than $27 for what you were offered. Mystery food is never good.
Katherine could definitely be one of the top chef judge :)) She is so thorough with her reviews:)) If Derek doesn't like the food you know he's gonna let them know lol!
Derek was more concerned about cold eggs here than the raw chicken at the expensive Asian restaurant. Then 35 minutes of sarcastic comments, seemed disappointed if Katherine had anything positive to say. Usually uplifting videos, I hope this is not wave of future. Not everyone can afford the Bacchanal.
I see several issues, 1st, it just reopened after a year and a half, probably had to hire a lot of new people than were inexperienced. 2nd trying to do breakfast and lunch at the same time, should shut down for a half hour to change the food over. 3rd, Not enough patronage to turn the food over quickly, food sitting to long. I would go back in a few months to see if there has been any improvement. Also let the buffet management know what the issues are, if people don't speak up management doesn't have any idea that there are some issues. It looks like a nice buffet, not too fancy which I like. Also it didn't seem like all the food was bad, I've been to some really bad buffets.
12:38 OMG the staff! Man, you cannot take food that people already touched and put them in your supposedly clean cookware and reserve them! Health violations all over. They should be checking the temperature of the food periodically all day long. I was very annoyed on their behalf. I felt like they got scammed.
I love Luxor. It’s a cheap but great place to stay that’s pretty much on the strip. My biggest gripe is there are not a lot of great food options. The Cantine is okay but the rest is pretty average. The buffet was closed a couple weeks ago when I went. I guess I lucked out lol.
Luxor was built by Circus Circus Enterprises which owned Circus Circus and Excalibur and later became Mandalay Resorts Group when they built Mandalay Bay. At the time the Luxor buffet was a step above Excalibur which was a step above Circus Circus. The Luxor buffet was originally on the casino level. There was a replica of King Tut's tomb where the buffet is now located. The tomb was moved to the attraction level above the casino. The tomb is now history like so many of Luxor's original attractions (does anyone remember the Nile River ride?).
Woww!! So shocked that the Luxor's breakfast sucks!! Like, who can't make breakfast??? Quick & easy meal of the day. Most people eat eggs in the morning. They really need to get that underway. Derek, I appreciate this review. I am staying at The Luxor mid Oct 2022. Guess, I will be eating somewhere else.
I'm wondering why, after you got a huge plate of scrambled eggs and they were stone cold, why would you go back and get a big serving of MORE cold eggs?
The chef didn't seem to give a shit when you told him about the cold eggs. What a crappy attitude. I always avoid the Luxor buffet. It's looks downright nasty. Kudos to you and Catherine for "taking one for the team".
Looks like the Lux is a little... LAX on their buffet. Yeah..... i think having them make u some fresh eggs is totally the right idea...but...I think.. you gotta go for some cheese or something else in it to give it more flavor and moisture if you are going to eat THAT much in scrambled eggs. I'll be at the carving station for some freshly sliced ham and chicken sausage with Catherine. ALways enjoy your videos... you both are super cool and bring a lot of fun to showing the best and sometimes.. not so best of Vegas. Happy Eating!
Thank you Derek and Catherine for biting the bullet on this one! I have to imagine the cold eggs were the result of being prepared and refrigerated overnight, and then not being properly reheated. Will definitely be avoiding this one!
Kids! "Come one , Come all.... We have it all!!" Mystery food, Cold Food in that same corner, Uncle Ben's Fried Rice, Albondigas Soup or is it (No Salt Needed) & Your favorite Treat's!!😂🤣😂 Keep Up the Good Work!!
You can get sick anywhere if guidelines aren't followed. I got sick from scrambled eggs at a sit down coffee shop at a Las Vegas Hotel/ Casino which is no longer there. Still I agree with you on don't get scramble eggs at a buffet.
My favorite buffet is the luxor I always enjoy the atmosphere the food and the ambiance , the selection and high end quality is always on point....much better than Bellagio buffet.
Not sure which opinion I like more, “Just hoping it is edible” or “Expecting the worst at this point.” Love your candor, they lost you at the eggs! My thought after watching, want to go to Denny’s? Thanks very much!!
Honestly, for $30 I would have rather gone to Denny's for a couple of Grand Slams. At least it comes to your table hot! I can't believe they would charge $30 for this buffet. Hopefully the manager of the buffet will see your video and step it up a notch. Or I guess I should say several notches.
Good thing that guy made fresh eggs. I liked that he checked the temperature of them, and then pulled them out. Somebody dropped the ball in the kitchen. 😒😋👍
Can't believe they served cold eggs and Derek you were very polite and couldn't believe the omelet chef was going to reheat the eggs, talk about cross contamination. Wouldn't go there. Thank you for your honesty
So crazy cuz I went there in 2019 and I loved it. But I went during end of lunch/dinner later in the day. Won’t go there anytime soon. TBH i LOVED Excalibur buffet when I went there just within the past month.
When it first was constructed and opened, Luxor was owned by the same company that ran Circus Circus and the Excalibur. And it’s buffet was (barely) a step above those for quality; at least no hamburgers or hot dogs on the line. Breakfast was okay not a definite skip for lunch or dinner. Oddly, when the Monte Carlo, now Park MGM, was being built, it was a collaboration between a Steve Wynn and Circus Circus and the speculation was over which side of that spectrum that it’s buffet would take after. At first, it was closer to Mirage and Treasure Island (Wynn properties at the time) and, later, it was much closer to the Circus Circus level of (lack of ) quality.
Back when I was a kid I loved going Here!!! too bad it sucks now... I was looking forward to eating here next month when in LV. I will skip it, thank you guys.

I think this buffet ranks with the Circus Circus one😝. Take care & thanx for the warning👍
Cold eggs is the absolute worse. This place should be embarrassed. Thank you for sharing. I love watching you and Catherine
Reheating cold SCRAMBLED eggs 🤔 OMG!
"Little cones of popcorn, perfect for breakfast!"
i'm dying 🤣
It was refreshing to see a frank and objective review. Thank you.
I think the underground Raiders of the Lost Ark-esque dining room that hasn't changed since the 1993 opening is still great to experience as a vestige of the theme trend of the 90's. In fact the theming for this buffet is so on point even the food is as dry and salty as the Egyptian desert.

You can't reheat eggs in steam table, you have to bring go rapid heat at 160 for 30 seconds for reheat. Wtf!
Even the So Called Best Restaurants Served Derrick and Katharine RAW CHICKEN at the Genting Palace. Raw Chicken
@@thomasdouglas2006 Our jaws dropped when we saw that incident.
It surprises me that there wasn’t someone temping every dish and recording the results. And what did the omelette cook sanitize his probe with, a wet cloth he had sitting around? They also need an attendant to circle the buffet with some sanitizer and wipe up the spills.
Its all you vegas!!! You guys are awesome love love this channel. Thanks for posting these videos!!!
Derek your politeness is your virtue. This buffet was terrible but bless you for being as kind as possible and choosing your words.
Holy moses the first three minutes of the steam table tour comes off like Golden Coral on a really really bad day.
"At this point, I just want to know if it’s edible." Derrick cracks me up & is keeping it real. I don’t need the Chopped-judge-critique on every buffet item.
This reminds me of the buffet Clark and cousin Eddie went to in Vegas Vacation!
Just need one plate, Clark
The bread pudding is extra runny tonight.
they havent opened the tropicana breakfast buffet in atlantic city used to be 20 dollars and they closed the other eat in place also
This is a must avoid based on this experience. Your facial expressions don't lie. Thanks for an honest review.
I had the same experience a couple years ago when I went there. Everything was cold.
you need to micro it or have it heated up
the eggs a eggs a egg substitute
does the camera man eat
Not surprised, a crappy hotel.
The steam from the eggs is coming from the steam pans underneath. The heat wasn't getting to the eggs to keep them warm.
Last week was all you can eat toasts for $50 at the Bellagio, this week is all you can eat eggs for $27 at the Luxor.
😂😂😂
Scrambled eggs are such a weird thing to try to load up on at a buffet...
Wouldn’t want to even eat eggs from a buffet. 🤮
Devoted a good 20 of 35 minutes of video to breakfast items, mainly the cold eggs 😒
Agree, of all the other items...like the breakfast meats, pastries, omelet station...not a go to of mine at a buffet. To each his own...
I would never get stuff I can easily make at home cheap.
Just wanted to share this with you...I broke my leg on a broken sidewalk going to check-in at Caesars, so we were very limited but still went ahead and saw shows and made most of our reservations (we were celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary).

hmmm cold food at a buffet oh no!

Matthew has no experience with cold buffet food.
Cold???? Oh nooooo! 😰😱🤯
lol
I'm glad you mentioned about the cold eggs. I believe that warm food needs to be served at a certain temperature in order to be considered safe.
I think this is where Cousin Eddie took Clarke - “Give me some of the yellow.. and don’t get cheap on me..”
ya and don't forget to have some blue with it haha
Love to see more and more buffets opening. Hopefully one day the value will come back.
there is no buffet value in vegas hotels only outside
maybe a few do have a advertised cheaper one not the major hotels although you look around

I think they used cold fire to cook those eggs. It's the only explanation.
I heard Main Street Station reopens soon. Assuming they’ll have the buffet, would love to see you try that out. Always my favorite downtown.
Is this related to all the other station properties? Like Palace station or Texas Station
@@matthewkrager5754 no
Give it time before trying it out so all the problems can be ironed out
is there a bar there that way you can get drunk before you eat the cold eggs?
Poor Derrick. First it was the chicken. Now they served him Cold Eggs. Not good..
And they didn't have Derrick's fried Chicken 😵😵😵😵😵😵
The sad part is this kind of buffet would cost about $100 in Korea where im from
12:50 he actually dumped the cold eggs into the skillet and was about to heat them up lol. yea that totally solves the problem.
I love how Catherine always finds the brighter side of things. She's excited about unlimited soy milk. I appreciate her upbeat spirit 😍😍😍😍😍

Yes but there wasn’t any.

You call it as it is mediocre at best. Refreshingly honest review. Appreciate the candor.
Maybe the mystery chicken was an unbreaded chicken mcnugget...
“Definitely come to the Luxor for the all you can drink soy milk!”

So I looked at the most current reviews on Yelp and it looks like you are right. I have never seen so many one stars for a Vegas buffet
12:38 hehehehe like a scene out of a Griswald movie
Lol I was dying seeing him gradually descend into a glorious sarcastic review “idk about the egg rolls they came from the same place as the eggs” 😂😂😂
😂😂
It's sad there were not too many people at the buffet. The Luxor is a nice hotel. Thanks for the review Derek and Catherine. B Safe.

McDonald’s breakfast is at least hot. 😂
and a hell of a lot cheaper!
It’s one of the worst meals ever. Same with the MGM buffet.

My guess would be just to confirm that all the egg stations were serving cold scrambled eggs.
OH LOOK POPCORN! Perfect for breakfast... said no one ... except Derek :) Good video as always guys.
Let's just say I'm glad you guys went there for us... :)
Anyone else hear a buzzing noise throughout the entire video? It was louder in the beginning of the video. It sounds like a tornado siren.
I’ve noticed it before in reviews of this buffet. I think it’s because they are in a basement and it’s the fans.
You guys crack me up!! Good call on not trying the sushi! And as always you are so polite to servers, thank you for that. You are so brave.
Thanks for the honesty. Carnival food for breakfast, doesn’t everyone eat that?
The Luxor will not be on my list of LV buffets to try.
The chef didn't seem to give a shit when you told him about the cold eggs. What a crappy attitude. I always avoid the Luxor buffet. It's looks downright nasty. Kudos to you and Catherine for "taking one for the team".
Chef? Lol
@@jenniferharris2822 True enough. I stand corrected.
@@notoriousd2597 Sorry. My bad. :)
Very funny video...one of the best!
Catherine is very upbeat and hopeful about Ham and chicken sausage you both are trooper's thanks
Looks like the Lux is a little... LAX on their buffet. Yeah..... i think having them make u some fresh eggs is totally the right idea...but...I think.. you gotta go for some cheese or something else in it to give it more flavor and moisture if you are going to eat THAT much in scrambled eggs. I'll be at the carving station for some freshly sliced ham and chicken sausage with Catherine. ALways enjoy your videos... you both are super cool and bring a lot of fun to showing the best and sometimes.. not so best of Vegas. Happy Eating!
Thank you Derek and Catherine for biting the bullet on this one! I have to imagine the cold eggs were the result of being prepared and refrigerated overnight, and then not being properly reheated. Will definitely be avoiding this one!
Who serves yesterday's eggs??? Oh, The Luxor!
The food looks pretty good one mistake don't make it the worst Buffet ever so judgmental
Take it back they'll give you a plate warm eggs don't be such a baby Derek
@@mariejackson249 Did you not watch the video? ALL the eggs were cold.
Kids! "Come one , Come all.... We have it all!!" Mystery food, Cold Food in that same corner, Uncle Ben's Fried Rice, Albondigas Soup or is it (No Salt Needed) & Your favorite Treat's!!😂🤣😂 Keep Up the Good Work!!
Never get ready cooked eggs at a buffet. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. 😂
You can get sick anywhere if guidelines aren't followed. I got sick from scrambled eggs at a sit down coffee shop at a Las Vegas Hotel/ Casino which is no longer there. Still I agree with you on don't get scramble eggs at a buffet.
My favorite buffet is the luxor I always enjoy the atmosphere the food and the ambiance ,
the selection and high end quality is always on point....much better than Bellagio buffet.
Not sure which opinion I like more, “Just hoping it is edible” or “Expecting the worst at this point.” Love your candor, they lost you at the eggs! My thought after watching, want to go to Denny’s? Thanks very much!!
The scrambled eggs look
So delicious and golden! Shame that was cold !!!!
Honestly, for $30 I would have rather gone to Denny's for a couple of Grand Slams. At least it comes to your table hot! I can't believe they would charge $30 for this buffet. Hopefully the manager of the buffet will see your video and step it up a notch. Or I guess I should say several notches.
yah he showed some for 65 this is a deal for 27
Good thing that guy made fresh eggs. I liked that he checked the temperature of them, and then pulled them out. Somebody dropped the ball in the kitchen. 😒😋👍
that's a $9.99 buffet at best...for them to charge 26.99 is criminal
Inflation
There is no $9.99 buffet
Can't believe they served cold eggs and Derek you were very polite and couldn't believe the omelet chef was going to reheat the eggs, talk about cross contamination. Wouldn't go there. Thank you for your honesty
I never want to eat again after watching this. Market this as a diet video.
Thank you I’m stopping there soon
I’m sorry I would have left I couldn’t eat anything else out of that buffet 😂
So crazy cuz I went there in 2019 and I loved it. But I went during end of lunch/dinner later in the day. Won’t go there anytime soon.
TBH i LOVED Excalibur buffet when I went there just within the past month.
The entire buffet looked really gross, and the food drippings around the serving trays just made it worst!🤮
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BUFFET'S IN VEGAS WITH MOUNTAIN DEW ON THE SELF/SERV FOUNTAIN DRINKS,,,HARD TO BEAT! ;)
You invented a new food description "fork feel" 🤣😆 👍
So where can I get some cold eggs? 🤣
When it first was constructed and opened, Luxor was owned by the same company that ran Circus Circus and the Excalibur. And it’s buffet was (barely) a step above those for quality; at least no hamburgers or hot dogs on the line. Breakfast was okay not a definite skip for lunch or dinner. Oddly, when the Monte Carlo, now Park MGM, was being built, it was a collaboration between a Steve Wynn and Circus Circus and the speculation was over which side of that spectrum that it’s buffet would take after. At first, it was closer to Mirage and Treasure Island (Wynn properties at the time) and, later, it was much closer to the Circus Circus level of (lack of ) quality.
Back when I was a kid I loved going Here!!! too bad it sucks now... I was looking forward to eating here next month when in LV. I will skip it, thank you guys.
How cool is that....The Buffet at Circus-Circus is doing a road show! Thanks for taking us along, Derrick and Catherine, and for saving us $26.99.
i went to the circus buffet in 2011 i remember it man its hot there
Honest review.
