| - The line for the seafood bar here is ridiculous, even in the middle of the week.
That is probably because it is mmmmm mmmm tasty! Big crab legs and cocktail shrimp-- crab legs perfectly sliced down the middle, super tasty (for buffet crab), the shrimp is just as good, although not quite as firm as it should be.
Prime rib is excellent. I'm not a huge fan of prime rib cuts, but for some reason at buffets I *always* feel compelled to try it, and The Wynn buffet does an excellent job. Throw in some delicious cheese and cold cut meats and you have the makings of a serious meat-eater's heaven. Too bad the lamb chops are a smidgen overcooked (although maybe I just prefer all my beef/lamb rare, and not everyone does).
Much to my surprise, the dim sum (har gow and shu mai) actually is quite edible. Most buffets, even really nice ones, have greasy, oily, gross things they call "dim sum", which I can't fathom why they would serve. Ever. These were actually passable-- a step below "ok" for cheap Monterey Park dim sum, but honestly, not too bad for what they are. Plus they're near the seafood bar, so you can grab a few to snack on while you wait in the absurdly long line for crab legs, smoked salmon (nom), and shrimp...
What's most ridiculous is the dessert section. Tiny little servings that I just find okay, but my friends loved them, and they're so small it's a PERFECT excuse to eat three or four or five of them.
The price, given the quality of the food, is pretty good. It's also a reminder that even the nicest buffet is still a buffet-- although if I could still gorge myself on prime rib and shrimp like the old days, it would be uber awesome...
