Sterling Brunch   

The good news is that this may be the best buffet in Las Vegas; the bad news is it's only offered one day a week, and for the price you pay you might feel a bit silly having to carry your own plate. Every Sunday, Bally's Steakhouse is transformed into the luxurious Sterling Brunch, the kind of place England's royal family might patronize if they were into the all-you-can-eat experience.Very little of what's offered along the serving lines can be found at any other buffet in the city. Diners choose from such sophisticated fare as ostrich tenderloin and Maine lobster, braised rabbit with buttered linguine, stone crab, striped sea bass with sea beans and caper butter, caviar and foie gras, rack of lamb with Szechwan peppercorn crust and chateaubriand. To qualify as a brunch there are breakfast foods available as well, but at these prices you'd be crazy to fill up on waffles. Perrier Jouet champagne (served by footmen in formal dress) flows freely, and the desserts merit comparison to the finest pastry shops in Paris and Vienna. Yes, it's expensive, but if the gaming tables were good to you on Saturday night, there's no better place to spend the winnings on Sunday morning.
