Well... being vegetarian (fish/seafood is okay) and lactose intolerant really is not the greatest thing to be when going to a dinner-time buffet in Las Vegas. I was expecting more from the Bellagio.
Seafood: The crab legs were so scrawny. Mussels were pretty good. Fish was... okay.
Sushi: I really don't like eating lots of sushi at buffets unless it's more of the expensive stuff, like ikura, but they only had salmon poke and generic cheaper stuff.
Pastas: Only one pasta that was non-dairy. And it had meat. They had a sweet potato ravioli... and I am pretty sure it had cheese/dairy in it... but they chef said it didn't. My bf tasted it before I ate it... and yes it did have dairy in it. Thanks for almost making me sick chef.
Make your own seafood crepe bar: Pretty good concept, BUT. Again with the creme-sauces... all with dairy or cheese. Again, the chef said no cheese, but after my bf tasted it... said I shouldn't risk it. Double bad on the chefs.
Made a 2nd seafood crepe... without sauce this time. and you should have only used 1/4 of the butter you used to cook it. Seriously. I felt like throwing up after eating a bite. I couldn't eat after that. Made me a little sick. =( Triple bad on chefs.
Desserts: Pretty good. Had a Creme Brulee. You could taste the burning.
So my take is: If you're vegetarian or lactose intolerant... or both... then this is not a great buffet for the price. My bf eats meat and he said the same. Nothing special. Not even a good buffet for the price. Last trip I ate at the M Resort buffet and the Wynn buffet. Go there instead and save your stomachs and money.
