| - I ate at the Buffet at Bellagio a couple of years ago and it was nothing less than amazing, so I went back last week during a trip to Vegas. The food was fresh and selections topped the standard buffet-fare. The serving area was kept clean (a huge factor for me) and well attended. The crab legs were plentiful, fresh, and pre-cut. There were other seafood options that are worth mentioning like mussels, oysters on the half shell, smoked salmon (yummy), etc.. I liked the cheese/deli meat selections as it included prosciutto, cured salami, and tasty cheeses. This sums up the things I liked. I took a star away because they have gone downhill a bit. The desserts used to look hand made and unique. They now look mass produced. The flan and crème brulee tasted like the standard buffet custard. The other dessert choices were mini pies, cakes, pies, etc.. Nothing better than what you would find at a cheap buffet. They needed more service staff. Our waitress worked her heart out but she was almost running around to keep up with the demand of clearing plates and filling drinks. This left the dining area floor looking a little dirty.
Overall, this buffet is still a good choice, however they have slipped a little into "ho-hum-drum" over the past couple of years and I may just choose a less expensive option next time around.
