| - Hadn't been to a buffet for years in Vegas, so I was trying to round up everyone to go to the Wynn buffet. Unsuccessful because these guys were staying at Vdara, so they had the resort credit. Fine, whatever, I'll give it a shot.
I can say...pretty good. Not quite Wynn, but up there. Before I get to the food, it's important to note how spacious and clean this place is. There are those buffets that look so ghetto that you really can't feel comfortable pigging out. This is not one of those buffets, so rest assured that's not a problem.
They space out the food by various kinds of cuisine: Chinese, seafood, meat section, sushi, etc. Here's the important stuff: king crab legs, rack of lamb, prime rib. As long as you have those big three, then I'm sold immediately. Just grab a plate of king crab legs, grab some warm butter, and go to town! They also have a BBQ beef and pork ribs too, which are a nice change-up from the big three.
Aside from that, don't waste your time on sushi. It's just standard fare and quite unappetizing if you ask me. The dim sum here was pretty bleh, but the roasted duck leg and Peking duck was pretty damn awesome. Raw oysters were also ftw. And their truffle mac and cheese...this is probably the best thing in this place for real. I typically stay away from carbs when I come to a buffet, but for truffle anything, I'll always make the exception. My only gripe is that the shrimp wasn't already shelled, and that's why I can't give it a 5. Come on, I don't have the time to waste on shucking the shrimp!
Barely made it to dessert, but their cheesecake is pretty good. They have a pretty nice assortment of desserts as well as gelato. Of course if you actually make it to dessert, I commend you. Also have fruits, which has a purpose that I don't really have to make further mention of.
I still wanna go back to Wynn buffet but this was pretty good.
