Basically you'll get a piece of lobster tail meat about the size of your index finger an a lobster claw that is difficult to open, just to get a slimy tidbit if lobster. They dole out small lobsters cut in half that look more like large crayfish than lobsters. Well, chances are that you will be disappointed in this buffet. They advertise this lobster buffet as the best buffet around. The buffet is why many people come to Valley View Hotel and Casino. If this is your first visit, you should sign up at the players booth and get you 2 free buffet tickets. Slotmachines everywhere, with a huge selection to choose from. Walking through the front door, you immediately grt the feelinf of a Las Vegas casino. Parking in their multi story parking facility is convenient and close. As you drive past Harrahs, you continue your leisurely drive for 4 or 5 miles you'll come upon Valley View Hotel and Casino. As your car is going through the gentle rolling hills, you are suddenly surprised to see Harrahs Casino rising out of nowhere.

The hills are covered with avocado and orange trees.as you drive through the valley you have the feeling that you have stepped back in time. You should head in that direction as quickly as possible, unless you enjoy inhaling cigarette and cigar smoke.The drive to Valley View Hotel and Casino takes you through some of the most beautiful countryside in southern California. The casino, however, was a huge, noisy and smoke-laden experience, Fortunately, there is a separate smoke-free casino. The quality of the food, however, is well worth the wait. You need to get here as early in the day as possible, as the line can get very, very long, and you can actually get closed out of the buffet if you arrive after the middle of the afternoon.

While this was a cost-free meal, I would definitely bring friends and relatives here. (My personal opinion is that the lobster was the weakest item among an otherwise sterling array of entrees - the meat was tough and not as tasty as you might wish for.) For those of us trying to eat more healthily, they also had fresh raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, a rare find at a casino buffet.

There many types of meat dishes, including ribs, kielbasa, roast beef, turkey, an Asian food station, many well-prepared vegetables and soups, and a vast number of desert dishes. The food overall was excellent, with many high-end seafood dishes, including crab legs and shrimp, as well as lobster tails. I had won a radio contest, which gave us two 'VIP-line' passes to their lobster buffet. Yesterday, my wife and I took our first trip to this Casino, and we had a variable experience.
