| - I've been to a lot of buffets in Vegas (albeit not the Bellagio or Wynn) and this was the best I've seen. We went for lunch on a Monday -- $19 out the door was great! Food was mostly delicious, fresh, and somewhat unusual. Felt like I was a judge on Top Chef at times. Bone marrow??? It was very meat-heavy, so not the best spot for vegetarians. They did have some great salads and veggie sides, but very few (or any?) meat-free main dishes.
Much of the food is pre-portioned in little ramekins, serving pans, etc, which is super cute if you're into presentation like I am. My only complaint about that style is actually the opposite of what many here are saying. It was too much food in some cases when I only wanted a taste. If you didn't like something, it went to waste because you had to take the pre-portioned amount. My husband and I ended up traveling around the buffet together so we could share stuff. I nearly had a corn-gasm when I tasted the creamed corn and I'm sure I ate my week's worth of calories with just that dish.
Desserts were the low-point for me. They have lots of pudding/creamy/soft sorts of choices, including gelato, but no pies, cakes or brownie-type choices. None of the desserts were labeled, so you just had to take your chances.
All in all, we LOVED this buffet (knowing that it can't all be perfect!) and will definitely return. Plus, the Cosmopolitan is just awesome anyway.
