| - The Buffet at the Bellagio was the best and left my buttons bursting by the end of my meal! I visited this location on a Monday night and paid $34 to partake in the mountainous piles of seafood, pasta, salad, soups, meats, and international fare offered here. There was no line and I was excited to dive in as soon as possible. Buffets are a great place to try foods that I wouldn't normally try or order at most other sit-down restaurants.
I started by piling my plate high with King Crab legs. Having never tried these before, I now understand why the fisherman on Deadliest Catch go to such lengths to catch them. Wow! This was a fantastic opportunity to fill up on an item that I will likely not have again for some time. I also very much enjoyed the Kobe Beef, shrimp, roasted fingerling potatoes, and so much more! I would love to list off everything that I ate but in complete honesty... I can't for the life of me remember nor picture each plate that I brought back to the table.
As a girl with a sweet tooth, I was ecstatic to discover the number of options I had at the dessert bar. What I liked most about it were the very small portions served. I grabbed a big plate and brought 4 or so small desserts back with me to sample each. As I circled around my plate of goodies, I couldn't believe how delicious one dessert was compared to the next. Cheesecake, cappuccino mousse, rich chocolate bubbles, and nutella tarts were swimming across my vision and eventually in my belly.
In addition to the excellent options and flavorful food, the service here was equally impressive. Our waiter was very quick to clear our plates and refill our drinks with each departure. Considering my date and I were barely at the table at the same time, going up for food whenever our plates happened to empty, this was a difficult feat to complete. When my napkin appeared even slightly soiled from some stray cocktail sauce, a fresh one showed up. New silverware even appeared during my time there. Fantastic!
My only regret is not trying this place out earlier in the trip.... so that I had the opportunity to return. I think the price was more than fair for the options and quality of food served here. I would definitely return to this location if in Vegas again!
