The overhaul of the dining room and serving areas is the first success, turning what had been a Disneyland version of a farmer's market into a sleeker, more accessible (both visually and physically) space. There is plenty of the typical wood and marble that you'll normally find in a joint like this but also some beautiful mosaic tiles and plenty of blue and green fabrics to lighten things up. The new layout helps traffic patterns enormously, enabling people to move in and out of stations with ease.

The regional stations all have festive names (Ole for the Mexican, Fresh for the seafood, etc.) and include a well-stocked salad bar, Pan-Asian cuisine including some sushi, Brazilian barbecue, Italian offerings, American comfort food, and more. Items change often but expect the traditional (mashed potatoes and gravy, spaghetti, pizza from a wood-burning oven) and some more interesting items sprinkled throughout including, on the day I visited, a spicy South American stew filled with sausage and vegetables that was delicious.

Their carving station is one of the most complete I've seen with your choice of roast beef, prime rib, chicken, ham, turkey, sausage, lamb, roasted vegetables, and more. Several live action cooking stations offer up everything from made-to-order omelets during the brunch to hand-tossed pastas for dinner.

And unlike many buffets, their dessert station totally satisfies. Chocolate fountain. That's all I'm saying. And a gelato station with "home made" gelato, ice cream, and sorbet. Okay, now I'm done. Oh, and pastries and cookies and cake. Really, this time I swear I'm finished.

The prices are about average for Strip buffets these days, which is to say expensive. Breakfast comes in at around $14, lunch at $17, brunch (including mimosa) is $20, and dinner is $22. Although there are a lot of places that charge those kinds of prices, there are only a handful at which I would actually recommend doing so.

Flavors is one of them.
