| - Perhaps I just caught the Buffet on a bad day. Maybe it's normally a decent buffet with decent food for a decent price (by Vegas standards). But what I got on New Year's Eve was not decent. In fact, it wasn't even mediocre. It was just bad, plain and simple.
I was initially pleased to find that, although I am vegan, I was able to find about four or five dishes that were seemingly vegan-friendly. Granted, they weren't spectacular, but I wasn't expecting much. I just figured that for $32 I could have simple but edible food. That wasn't the case. Nearly everything I sampled was either undercooked, overcooked, or under-seasoned. The steamed green beans, which had no seasoning whatsoever, were the only item I was able to finish. The roasted root vegetables were tasteless and chewy. The lentils and rice were beyond bland. Even the salad bar wasn't appealing; the greens were wilted and even slimy. (Seriously, how do you mess up salad?)
My non-veg friends who were able to taste the Buffet's various meat and seafood dishes were not particularly pleased overall. They too complained of poor seasoning and under/overcooking. Even the desserts, while aesthetically pleasing, were sub par--too sweet, not sweet enough, strangely textured.
I left the Buffet feeling hungry, maybe even hungrier than I was before I got there. I paid $32 for food I couldn't even eat and because of that, I will not be returning to the Buffet. I think I'd rather save up for dining at the Wynn.
