Buffet Americana will introduce a contemporary cooking concept to the Mid-South with delicious kabobs, Tikka skewers and freshly baked Indian breads prepared in the only Tandoori oven found in Mississippi. Many stations – including those offering pasta, omelets, wood-fired pizza and a customized Mongolian grill, to name just a few – will allow diners to design their own dishes while chefs prepare them fresh on the spot. The new 13,500-square-foot restaurant will emphasize fresh, made-to-order meals at stations designed to recreate the feeling of an upscale specialty food market. We want Buffet Americana to have that same kind of broad appeal.'

'Whether out in the nightclub or out in the field, people feel comfortable in those jeans. 'Levi's is in kind of a unique position for an American brand in terms of how universally accepted it is,' said lead designer Chris Sheffield, founder of SLDesign. The authenticity, versatility and widespread appeal of Levi's 501 jeans provide a significant design inspiration, and denim weaves its way through the space. Arresting art displays inspired by the area's textile industry are a prominent design component. Wall panels, ceiling beams and food stations crafted from Southern Heart Pine, and a large skylight infusing natural light generate a sense of warmth, comfort and familiarity rarely found in a casino dining setting. The buffet's design pays tribute to the region.

'America is a great melting pot of diverse cultures and flavors and this authentic dining experience is going to engage, entertain and elevate the concept of the traditional casino buffet.' 'We're so certain that Buffet Americana will exceed our guests' expectations and have them coming back for more that we're going to give them their first meal absolutely free,' said Niklas Rytterstrom, general manager of Gold Strike Casino Resort. The process takes less than five minutes to complete. To receive an M life card, patrons simply need to go to the M life desk at Gold Strike and register.
