| - We couldn't get into the SW Steakhouse located in the same hotel (Wynn) for dinner, so unfortunately, we were all dressed up and no where to go. We figured we would try The Buffet, and from the reviews, seemed like a pretty good place to eat. It was a fairly long walk through the casino and then what seemed like a really long lonely hallway to the restaurant.
First tip, do not dress up to eat here...I was so overdressed, it made me feel a bit uncomfortable. The quality of food (which is excellent) does not match the atmosphere of this very casual buffet.
When you arrive, you're going to get a sense of tackiness...almost like you are eating in Cinderella's castle at Disney....But with all that being said, we had an excellent dining experience. The food really is great here. They had a very large selection, from fresh fish, steaks, salads, desserts, you name it, it was on the buffet.
The buffet area is very big and spread out, so there were no lines to wait for food, or people shoving themselves into your plates to reach for something. Excellent lay out.
The night we were there, they were serving steamed Char Siu Bao in the Asian section, which is a steamed BBQ pork bun. I have eaten these in China towns across the country (NY and SF) included, and these were the best. They also had a carving station with massive bone in steaks and prime rib. They had amazing breads, vegetables, lasagna, pizzas, pastas, crab legs, lobster, shrimp, fruits, cheeses, caprese salads, ravioli's....the list goes on and on.
There wasn't one thing I tasted that I didn't like, and would have gone back for more, had I not been so full. The dessert section is not huge, but then, who has room for dessert. All the desserts such as the cakes and mousses were mini's. They also served gelatto in a few flavors, which looked great, but I didn't have any that night.
For the two of us, the bill came out to $100 which included tip and beverage. I thought that price was very reasonable for the amount of food offered.
We would definitely make the effort to eat here again, when in Vegas.
