Being a local you rarely visit the strip unless it is a special occasion. My friend's birthday was the just right occasion I needed to justify spending a tad over $50 (large party + tax) for a buffet. ALRIGHTTTTTTT lets do this!
Man.... talk about disappointment and I haven't been this disappointed since my 24 cents pay raise.
The short:
Good execution of common buffet items with sub par service..
Sorry, but if you're waiting in line for 20+ minutes for a $$$ buffet the last thing you want is a bitchy waitress.
The guy who took my group's drink order was rarely seen. First round of water took almost 10 minutes. My lemonade refills were nonexistent, although he did grab our plates in a timely fashion.
The food is what really confused me. The Wynn is perceived to be one of the nicest casinos in all of Las Vegas which would lead one to assume that spending $50+ (I had gratuity/tax) you would get some premium items and feel upscale. Nope didn't get that feeling. Chicken noodle soup? Pizza? California rolls? Am I at the Wynn Buffet or Hometown buffet?
Sure there were snow crab legs, prime rib, veal, dim sum, a pasta station, and a crepe station.. but come on, that isn't premium stuff. It isn't what one is to expect at a top tier casino like the Wynn.
If you're not getting comped then save yourself a long wait and disappointment and head over to the M resort or Cosmopolitan for a more modern, friendly service, and lower priced buffet.
