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.
"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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
“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'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?
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.
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.
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 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!!!!!
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".
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.
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
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.❤
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!
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.
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!!!!!
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!
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?).
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.
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
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.
With a title like this, what could possibly go wrong...... But I'm already sold on the "all you can drink soy milk!!!" When Andre 3000 said, "What's cooler than cool? Ice cold!" He should have said, "What's cooler than cool? Luxor eggs!" Thanks for hanging in there Derek and Catherine...yikes!
I remember staying there 20+ years ago and trying to eat at the buffet. The line was so long we couldn’t get in. The coffee shop was great. Of course, we also got to ride on the faux Nile River. Guess the good buffet is gone, along with the river.
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!!
Spent one night at the Luxor during my last Vegas trip a few weeks ago. Had not stayed there in many years. All I can say was this property was down right scary. Buffet was not open yet. Most restaurants closed very early and this was on a Saturday night. The worst was walking to your room. No one checking room keys. Walking down long dark hallways. I keep looking behind me. You really can see what happens when a property is not kept up. It was truly sad and scary.
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.
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.
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!!
This video should be a new employee training video for all food service workers from Boss to Busboy on the fact that CUSTOMERS WILL REVIEW YOUR WORK..GOOD OR COLD 🥶

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 🤣
"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.
It was refreshing to see a frank and objective review. Thank you.

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

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.
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.

Holy moses the first three minutes of the steam table tour comes off like Golden Coral on a really really bad day.
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.
Its all you vegas!!! You guys are awesome love love this channel. Thanks for posting these videos!!!
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.
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
hmmm cold food at a buffet oh no!
cc: Resorts World
Matthew has no experience with cold buffet food.
Cold???? Oh nooooo! 😰😱🤯
lol
Omgosh I love how Katherine was so excited they swapped out the breakfast to Chinese.
Derek your politeness is your virtue. This buffet was terrible but bless you for being as kind as possible and choosing your words.
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
“Definitely come to the Luxor for the all you can drink soy milk!”
Derek you kill me 😂
I love how Catherine always finds the brighter side of things. She's excited about unlimited soy milk. I appreciate her upbeat spirit 😍😍😍😍😍
...and then she found the soy milk machine didn't work. But, I will say Catherine is a class act.
Yes but there wasn’t any.
@@dmotta2811 I know 😒😒
@@k3grappler yep both of them are super classy 😍😍
Love Catherine, she's sweet!
The steam from the eggs is coming from the steam pans underneath. The heat wasn't getting to the eggs to keep them warm.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen you dislike a buffet so much derek. Great video though guys 😀
Awful 😖
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” 😂😂😂

Those eggs are such a disappointment! They looked amazing. What a shame! That sets the tone for the whole meal. Aww
Just liked the undercooked orange chicken at resorts world
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?
My guess would be just to confirm that all the egg stations were serving cold scrambled 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 😵😵😵😵😵😵
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
@@rogerrosen2323 Name some?
That pastry station looked like it came straight out of the cellophane packaging from Costco
I've been there. It's like they heated a giant TV dinner.
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'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.
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.

When you showed the food it didn’t look appetizing at all! I’ll take a pass on the Luxor buffet!
pitiful buffet I’ve Ever Seen.
What’s sad is that it really used to be a great buffet for breakfast. Now it’s just a cheep knock off from what it used to be.
i can make good food no charge
With all them people there, seems like their still enjoying it. Lol
that's a $9.99 buffet at best...for them to charge 26.99 is criminal
Inflation
There is no $9.99 buffet
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!
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

when home boy put the old eggs in the pan,,,,i thought of cousin eddie and clark grizzwel in vegas vacation
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 call it as it is mediocre at best. Refreshingly honest review. Appreciate the candor.
The sad part is this kind of buffet would cost about $100 in Korea where im from

$26.99. Ain’t no way. Give me my money back
Derek had Katherine try his eggs after he spit them out two times 😂🤮 but she didn’t know he spit them out 😂 still gross. That’s love I guess.
I think they used cold fire to cook those eggs. It's the only explanation.
I never want to eat again after watching this. Market this as a diet video.
Very funny video...one of the best!

The eggs look like the "fake" scrambled eggs made of these packages, so not truelly fresh with a strange texture. I hate them.
It's been a pleasure watching you guys. Thanks Derek & Catherine.
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!!
Spent one night at the Luxor during my last Vegas trip a few weeks ago. Had not stayed there in many years. All I can say was this property was down right scary. Buffet was not open yet. Most restaurants closed very early and this was on a Saturday night. The worst was walking to your room. No one checking room keys. Walking down long dark hallways. I keep looking behind me. You really can see what happens when a property is not kept up. It was truly sad and scary.
It's pretty sad when you're trying to guess the food you're eating!
Kathryn trying to paint a happy face on everything 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.
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
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
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!!
The entire buffet looked really gross, and the food drippings around the serving trays just made it worst!🤮
Eggs...dry, potatoes...dry, soy cow...dry. They were sticking with the desert theme lol. This was very entertaining, I was chuckling the whole time.
"These scrambeled eggs are cold off the buffet, could you make some fresh ones for me?"
*makes overcooked eggs*
I can't tell, were the eggs cold?
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
Dude says the eggs are ice cold!! Then proceeds to eat two more big fork fulls !! Lol!!
You invented a new food description "fork feel" 🤣😆 👍
You both are the sweetest couple on TH-cam! 💗
This video should be a new employee training video for all food service workers from Boss to Busboy on the fact that CUSTOMERS WILL REVIEW YOUR WORK..GOOD OR COLD 🥶
While cold eggs aren't ideal, they're not a "spit it out" issue. They're cooked, so it's not like they're dangerous. :)
