| - I dishonor da famiree cuz my #1 priority when I go to buffets isn't the seafood...
it's mashed potatoes.
And The Buffet @ Wynn? THEY DO THEIR MASHED POTATOES RIGHT.
If you need some convincing whether ~$60 FOR DINNER is worth it (automatically got charged 18% gratuity for parties of 8 or more, fuuu) I got THREE WORDS FOR YOU: TRUFFLE MASHED POTATOES
BEST MASHED POTATOES ON THE STRIP...MAYBE EVEN MY WHOLE LIFE? No, I'm not still "on another level" from my Fat Tuesday...this is serious! Flawlessly creamy...fans of potato lumps beware because there are none found in this pot of heaven. Decadent. This is the jackpot that will compensate for what you lost at the poker table.
But as for everything else, truth isssssssss I'd say... iiiiiiit's mediocre.
Things I can recall...
OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER - dry like the oyster never saw the ocean. Try one for yourself to see if you're luckier than I was.
SEA BASS - creamy, tender, flaky, yum
TACOS - did not taste authentic at all.
TAMALES - no meat but surprisingly good!
ASIAN BRAISED PORK BELLY - ooooooh baby this was good. It was mixed in a stir fry with green beans.
THE DUMPLINGS - decent
SUSHI - did not look appealing to me
CARVING STATION - miso rubbed steak was good; a smidge dry. Prime rib was forgettable. Turkey looked like it's been sitting at Encore Beach Club since last Thanksgiving (and I'm typing this 6/30/16...)
DESSERT - custom crepes and the wheel of life - i mean, the bountiful selection of ice creams (you'll see what I mean once you're there) - was nice. Other than that, all the desserts I tried were meh/10.
VEGAN FRIENDLY - highlight of our meal was seeing our two vegan friends feast at this buffet with glee! Pbbbbt, when would you ever see those words in the same sentence - "vegan", "glee", "buffet"? I KNOW! They truly do cater to vegetarians/vegans here by giving them a personal tour of the food selection to show what's compatible with their diet (even desserts!), and the chefs made them a personal VEGAN PIZZA! WOW. totez cool.
3.5/5 OVERALL - i'd definitely come back here if I returned with my vegan friends, but if I'm in Sin City to sin via overdosing on copious amounts of food, I'll take my money elsewhere. Like others have hinted in their reviews, there is a lack of quality and innovation at this buffet that doesn't match the prestige reputation of the hotel. You won't be leaving here thinking "That meal was epic and worth my $$$!" like you would after Bacchanal, but it's worth a try.
P.S. - don't be fooled by the waitress saying they have "fresh lemonade", unless by "fresh" they mean "freshly added water to some powder mix" - SKIIIIIIP
