I struggled with either comparing my experience at the Bellagio Buffet with all other buffets, or comparing it to all dining choices possible. While this is one of the best buffets I've been to, that still doesn't mean much.
I tried to be careful to not have Kogi-syndrome and automatically praise the champagne brunch in an attempt to justify the outrageous wait time (although I recognize some people really do like Kogi on its own merits [Geneva W.!]). I grabbed a plate and started to do a lap around the course before settling on any given item. After walking for about 15 seconds I realized I had already reached the end of the line. I was happy to have been able to add another thing to my list of "ways to break my heart in under 30 seconds."
While the dessert station was good, it in no way made up for the fact that the only item worth my time was the prime rib. As if to mock me, the au jus was placed in an area nowhere near the meat station and was subsequently discovered on my walk out.
Since The Buffet at Bellagio is often referred to as one of the best, if not the best, buffet in town, I'll be skipping on the buffet lines on my next trip to Sin City.
