I've been to the Buffet at Bellagio many times in the past. During my last visit last month to the Buffet at Bellagio, I was really disappointed. Since it was the Thanksgiving Holiday, they had a special holiday price that was a little more expensive. I don't mind paying more for quality, but the food wasn't up to par.
Starting with the Cesar salad, it wasn't fresh and very soggy, The Kobe style steak at the carving station was not very soft and moist. The sushi was good and fresh, but the selection was smaller than expected. I had a few of the other dishes, but nothing really satisfied me.
I think the dessert selection was the highlight. These was a large variety of desserts and I tried a bunch of them.
The drink service was good as the waiter was friendly, helpful, and quick to refill our cups.
