| - No f-ing way. Over an hour's wait and $43 later, only to realize that you're getting this crap from such a highly praised buffet?!?!
I dined at the Wynn buffet when they first opened over 3 years ago and wasn't impressed then, and I am not impressed now. Let me break it down for you:
* Seafood station: the only worthwhile item of the bunch were the freezing cold crab legs. You could only find smoked salmon and shrimp cocktail here -- whoopdeedo. No raw oysters will be found here.
* Sushi: three types of "pseushi" (Ken K.) consisting of California rolls, vegetarian rolls, and last but not least, Salmon maki rolls. No sashimi, no nigiri. They even had this pathetic seaweed salad that was 10% seaweed and 90% celery. Oh, and not to mention they offered kimchee, because kimchee is so appropriate for sushi.
* Carving station: prime rib, turkey, and rack of lamb. Everything was fine here, except for the angry carving station lady who couldn't cut the meat properly because she was under-slicing the meat, so she kept losing grip of the knife and thus, splattering beef juice on the customers. She expressed no apologies for splashing beef juice on the nice blouse of the poor girl in front of me. Not to mention, when I asked for a more rarer lamb chop (seeing that an entire uncut rack was in front of me), she proceeded to give me a well-done lamb chop that was leftover from everyone else's pickings. How rude!
* Dessert station: alluring desserts that tasted horrible. Stay away from the dry cupcakes, rock hard poppy seed lemon pastry, mediocre cookies, and way-too-thick crepes. The ice cream was delish though.
* Other pathetic and disappointing offerings: hummus, baba ghanoush, pita bread, cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, miso soup, and tons of baked bread as fillers.
The only things keeping the Wynn buffet from plummeting to a 1-star review is their beautiful dining area, amazing vanilla ice cream, tasty lamb chops (when given the perfect medium rare piece), and the attentive service.
Take my advice though, and spend your $50 elsewhere. Las Vegas has so many other great dining establishments that are well worth the money spent. The Wynn buffet is just not one of those.
