The Buffet at Aria is overpriced and pretty run-of-the-mill. I have been to many buffets in Las Vegas and this is just another also-ran nearly finishing last. I went in the late afternoon and squeezed in to snag the lunch price before dinner started at 4:00.
There was no wait which should have been a huge sign to me that this buffet wasn't going to be all that good. But I gave it a try and it will be my last visit.
The staff and service people are really nice. But, the food is nothing special for the amount of money. Don't get me wrong..the food compares well to less expensive buffets in the area. But the selection is really not so great and this is not an inexpensive buffet.
