| - I am very pleased with this non buffet buffet.
The first time I went to Vegas, my dad told me to try the Bellagio buffet. I have made a point to stop there each trip, but then I always sample one other to see if I like it better. I have finally found a buffet that topped the Bellagio.
The presentation of the food is a huge departure for the other buffets. Food is served on little plates, rather than large trays, and on carving stations. The portions are quite small, no more than a quarter the size of your plate, including the little plate it is on served on, which all but forces you to try many different thing. Each dish felt like it was prepared with more care that the average item on a normal buffet. Many of the foods were quite creative as well. The only thing this buffet didn't nail was there breads. Each bread wrapping or shell tasted funny, so I would avoid if possible.
There are two downsides here. The buffet is pricey, even by Vegas standards. It is still less than a quality meal at a higher end Vegas place, but it isn't the $3.99 prime rib from the old days. Also, it is a long walk from the strip to get here. it is in the back of the Cosmopolitan, but somehow it feels like following the signs you have to walk through a maze to get here.
If you like the idea of buffets, but the general gorging and presentation isn't for you, this is an ideal spot.
