| - I really hoped that despite the fact that I'd read so many mixed reviews about this place that it would be good just because, well; it's the Wynn.
The food was pretty uninspiring on our visit today. There seemed to be a disproportionate offering of starches meant to fill you up (lots of pastas, etc) and pretty bland seafood. The presentation was decent, but nearly everything looked better than it tasted. The crab legs were decent, the beef undercooked, the pork overcooked. The deserts were the prime example of presentation but no substance.
The service was terrible. We had to ask three times for water and had to give our drink order twice. When we ordered their sangria, the waiter said to us "you know that costs extra, right?", which I found sort of insulting, particularly since we'd order it from their drink menu with clearly stated prices next to it. We didn't see any of the wait staff again until they dropped the bill for the drinks (though they did keep the table cleared). The awkward waiter commented to my girlfriend "on to desert already" and we spent the rest of the meal trying to understand what that meant.
Perhaps it was an off day, or due to the fact that we came very early (late lunch/early dinner) but I expected more of the Wynn. We'd skipped it the last time we tried to eat here because of the line and I'm glad we did, because it wouldn't have been worth the wait. In the end, we decided that there are too many other buffets to try and we've already visited far better, so we won't be back.
