I have stayed and played at T.I. for the past 5 years and I love the place. If you happen to get a comped buffet, or free with a promotion do what I do. Enjoy the free food. If I was going to pay for a buffet I would go to Cravings at Mirage. The Wynn is overpriced and Bellagio is a little high as well. For free or 2 for 1 this place is awesome, I enjoy the food very much especially the pasta station and the sushi station, but don’t expect the best food in town for a mid priced buffet. Enjoy.

Formerly known as Dishes, this buffet has now been renamed “The Buffet at TI.” But to explain the name on all the plates it’s subtitled “America’s Favorite Dishes.”

Had lunch here recently. They did a nice job making the room feel not like a cafeteria and the little donuts on the desert table are a nice touch. Offerings-wise it compares more with Golden Nugget than Bellagio, but it’s quality is a cut below the Nugget (turkey wasn’t even being cut off a piece per customer, but a tray of pre-sliced pieces was left under the heat lamps) and the cost is 50% higher at $15.

If you can travel somewhere else, including the superior Cravings buffet at Mirage, do it.

Food was just ordinary and cost $ 43.00 for two. Way overpriced. These big group casino’s give nothing away. We could not even get a fefill of water. Bad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is one of the better buffets. it is a bit pricey at $15.oo for lunch but it had a great selection. There was a counter where they made a salad just the way you wanted it. The dessert bar had chocolate covered strawberries and bannanas. The pasta bar was also excellent it was worth the money and the service was excellent

Wow! The new Treasure Island buffet is super nice and super good! We are locals and we just went last night (6.07.05) to try it and we LOVED it! I’m writing this review while it is fresh in my memory. The food was really high quality stuff at every station.

The buffet had several different stations: a sushi station with hand-rolled sushi and other Asian items; an Asian station with assorted Chinese foods (beef, lo mein noodles, egg rolls, fried rice, broccoli chicken, general tso’s chicken); a Southern / American station (collard greens, macaroni and cheese, corn casserole, turkey, dressing, mashed sweet potatoes, ribs with various bbq sauces, green beans, biscuits, cornbread); a cold salad station (assorted cheeses, veggies, cold cut platter, pasta salads); a made-to-order gourmet salad station (this was the best: chefs make up individual portions of gourmet salads like cobb salad, chinese chicken salad, chicken caesar salads and lettuce wedge salads right in front of your eyes—the quality was as good as something you’d get at the Cheesecake Factory!); a made-to-order gourmet pasta station (with 5 different daily choices: we had lasagna roll, cheese ravioli, tortellini with pesto and sun dried tomatoes, and a mushroom rigatoni—again, these were made in invididual portions as you ordered); a brick oven pizza station (garlic bread and tons of pizzas with all sorts of toppings); and an American station (fabulous salmon grilled over a wood flame, beef tri-tip, sauteed mushrooms, mashed potatoes and more); a “soup cart” that a chef pushes around to each table (we had a choice of Chinese rice soup, spicy veal chili or mild beef chili with all the toppings—cheese, onions and crackers); a super dessert section (homemade ice cream with a gourmet sundae bar, homemade donuts, cupcakes, chocolate dipped strawberries and bananas, a coffee bar with cappuccino and hot chocolate and more, cotton candy, pecan pie, Mrs. Fields quality homemade cookies, and just about every sweet you could imagine)!

This buffet is a bit pricey at $20 for dinner during the week, and we were skeptical, but we loved it. I think kids would like it too, especially the pizza, southern food and desserts. It’s also a great buffet for vegetarians, since most of the food is made to order and you can get it made without any meat!

THE NEGATIVE: This buffet is not your average Las Vegas buffet. You will NOT find shrimp, crab legs or prime rib here unless you go on the weekend for the higher price tag. If that’s all you eat, then I would not recommend this buffet. We also found the buffet to be a bit dirty—the counters had spilled food on them a lot of the time. I also think the layout is a bit cramped. It was hard to get to the food since they have it “roped off” with the new design, something that leads to long lines while you wait to fill up your plate. Also, the seating area is very open and not very private. If you are seated by the dessert station, there are huge windows and everybody standing in line at the buffet can look right in and see you eating.

All in all, we loved this buffet and will come back! We are locals but we love good food, and this is one of the best buffets in Las Vegas (we also love the Aladdin, Green Valley Ranch, Bellagio and Paris).

The decor was nice, food OK but the line was awful. This is the worst set up I have ever seen. Take the tram to the mirage.

It is your basic buffet but the bakery selection is super, the fresh fruit is fresh and the service is always good. The price makes it a great value!

An average vegas buffet, nothing special but no major complaints either.

Small buffet, the food was adequate but for something better go over to the Mirage.
