| - This place is overrated and hyped up too much. Many of your friends will hype it up so much and so well, saying "YOU HAVE" to go here. Of course you listen and after your finished you realize, damn, it wasn't worth $30.
Most of that high price probably comes from being in the Bellagio. $20 would suffice for the quality of food and selection.
The ambiance of the Bellagio IMO really is non existent after the hallway where the line forms to the cashier. Then it gets toned down. With the way people talk and tell me about the place, I was expecting super duper extravagant.
The desserts were really nice, but same affair over at Luxor and is significantly cheaper.
The crab legs were big and plentiful. Eat a lot of this if you want to get what you paid for. Japanese/Sushi station was a joke. The California rolls were average at that, seeing better at Todai. The other entries were above your average buffet, which was nice, and which was expected at the price and location. Some entries that included truffles, and welington in the name is always an eye opener. They also had some good pizza. Salad bar is a salad bar, and I did not want to waste my stomach space for that at a $30 buffet.
This place gets very busy, and the bus boys are prompt with your drinks and clean up of old plates.
I really don't have anything else to say. I would eat here again, it is a nice buffet no doubt, but way overrated and hyped up. If this is your first time in Vegas and this is your first time at a buffet in Vegas, of course it's almost positive and high marks. But after the initial excitement, you will realize there are better or equal for cheaper.
I don't think the location and hotel attraction should play into the review of this buffet. If it is, that is saying something about the food and choices. I see reviews saying the samething I'm saying and they are still giving it 4-5 stars. Why?
