Bentley’s American Grille

Probably 2.5 stars.
Our stay included a free breakfast buffet at the hotel’s downstairs restaurant called Bentley’s American Grille. The free breakfast was a special I was eligible for, and, unfortunately, that does not apply to all guests.
The downstairs restaurant is similar to The View upstairs. It was very much hotel décor. The tables did have a little more room though.
The buffet was a decent size. The hot station included bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage, sausage gravy and biscuits, hash browns, home fries, French toast, and pancakes. I took very little from each offering to get a good sampling of what they had. The bacon was okay. It could have been a little more crispy, but it was flavorful and not burnt to a cinder, which is often the case with buffets. The scrambled eggs were okay. Usually, scrambled eggs at a buffet sit in that runny yellow residue, but these eggs were cooked all the way through (and they were relatively moist). The sausage (links) was decent.
I passed on the sausage gravy and biscuits. I also passed on the hash browns and home fries (neither looked that good). The French toast had hints of cinnamon and while it was not horrible, it was definitely dry. The pancakes were much worse. They had a hard outside crust. They were difficult to cut. These definitely were not fluffy pancakes and no matter how much maple syrup I used, it was not getting any better.
They also had a made-​to-​order bar. They were making Belgian waffles. I did not order one, but they did look good (probably a much better option than the buffet pancakes and French toast). They were also serving a customizable omelette. I requested one and filled it with bacon, ham, cheese, and onions. Other ingredients available were mushrooms, green peppers, tomatoes, sausage, and spinach.
The omelette was okay. It was not great, but I’ve had worse. The biggest problem was the overabundance of cheddar cheese. Just way too much.
They also had a cold bar featuring fresh fruit, cereals and milk (both chocolate and all different grades of white milk). They actually had a good selection of cereals including Special K, Raisin Bran, Frosted Flakes, Mini-​Wheats, Cherrios, Honey Nut Cherrios, and Fruit Loops. I opted for the Honey Nut Cherrios.
Toast and warm oatmeal were also served.
Service was friendly, but even for a buffet, it was a little too absent at times as plates were not cleared that quickly.
I’m not sure what the price was, but the food was decent for a buffet and enjoyable. It is not going to beat a breakfast buffet you are going to have at a Las Vegas hotel like the Bellagio, but it was definitely serviceable.
