We were staying at the Venetian and heard the Wynn had the best buffet in town (thanks Fromer's!) We decided we had to check it out. The hotel itself is beautiful, it rivals the Bellagio for general decoration and it's a great place to walk. Jaw dropping decorations, gorgeous little oasis in the front, just wonderfully done.
Then there was the buffet. It was ok. They got us through the line quickly enough and the food was decent. The desserts are what made it worthwhile. Tons of mouthwatering concoctions with little shot glasses for sampling.
But the service really didn't match expectations for the hotel. I waited forever for someone to take my drink order. And when our soft drinks did arrive my water tasted like Clorox. Like, exactly how Clorox smells. It was disgusting. I asked for another glass and the waiter tried to sell me a bottle of water. And my husband's lemonade also tasted like Clorox. I was shocked. I didn't experience that anywhere else in Vegas. And with as much as this hotel must have cost to build, it was a complete contrast.
I also waited an extraordinary amount of time for my chocolate coffee. Just bizarre. Really expected Venetian level service at the Wynn and got worse than a Denny's.
