Wow this was a tough place to review. I was in Vegas with my lady and decided that I wanted to eat one night at a nice buffet on the strip. I have tried many, including the ones at the Rio, Luxor, Ecalibur, and MGM so I went online and Goggled top Las Vegas Buffets. Many lists ranked the Bellagio as numero uno so I decided to give it a try. I admit they had some good dishes, but far from being number 1 in my opinion.
I am going to do the math so everyone can see how I got to my 3 star rating.
Bad:
1. Crab legs were extremely dry and salty.
2. Asian food had very few choices and the sushi tasted no better then grocery store deli sushi.
3. Specialty salads had to be served by a person and came in little bowls, so really hard to sample all of them.
4. Over all selections of food was small, unusual for a large buffet.
5. Most importantly EVERYTHING WAS SALTY!!!!!!
Good:
1. Service was very good.
2. Other then the saltiness of it you could tell the the food was high quality. Not opened from a can or jar. I tried some Asian noodles that were some of the best I had had.
3. The crab legs were already cracked!!!!! Wow that was a huge plus, made it easier to eat them when you didn't have to work.....just sad that they were so salty and dry.
4. A major plus that helped get this place back to 3 stars was the deserts. Very good selection and they were awesome. I almost at one point thought that they were good enough to come one night and just eat sweets.
With all of that said, will I return....no, I am sure there are much better places out there to try. Next I will try the Wynn.
