| - So the day we were heading home to L.A. we decided to hit the buffet--it was set up for lunch but also had some breakfast foods. I guess they don't serve crab legs until the dinner buffet which was a total bummer because we totally wanted crab legs!
Anyway....after the buffet we came to a conclusion: we are NOT buffet people.
By buffet standards, I'm sure Wynn is just amazing--think really good wedding food--but it just wasn't our thing. By the end of our 2nd plates, we were both feeling full and by the end of our 3rd plates, we were completely numb to the delights of food but still wanted to try the desserts. Once you get to that point, nothing really tastes delicious or special so I can't even tell you if the dessert was awesome or not.
I wouldn't do the Wynn buffet again but that's just because I couldn't appreciate ALL THAT FOOD. They get my 3 stars for the fact that they did have a lot of food and much of it was tasty. I would have given it 4 stars but service was pretty bad and no one was pleasant; this was a surprise because the rest of the staff at Wynn/Encore were all very friendly.
If you like buffets though, I recommend it. Here are some things that I enjoyed:
The sea bass (the flavor was super delicious but it was a little mushy)
The herb hash brown balls (amazing!!!)
1/2 mini baguette which I ate with butter and edam cheese
Small cheese roll that I ate with capicola
California roll (the only thing that saved it was that it was made with real crab)
Steamed leek, pork & shrimp in a wonton-like wrapper
Pork pot sticker
Stir-fry veggies
Pistachio/apricot cake
Chocolate oreo cake
Stuff that was passable:
French toast--too much cinnamon for my taste
Mini waffle--too chewy and limp...the bacon was the same
Spicy tuna hand roll, & veggie roll - the sushi at my local cheapy Chinese buffet is better!!!
Cha shu bao--the dough and bbq pork both lacked flavor so all that was left was overwhelming sweetness
The mashed potatoes--they were pretty good but nothing to write home about
The rest of the stuff on my 4 plates (total) were just so-so miscellaneous nibbles and bites
We got our buffet free thanks to slot play using our Red Card/ hotel room card but if I was paying, I would have felt compelled to cram A LOT more in my belly. Most of the slot play points were based on betting the winnings from our free slot credit so it really was a nearly free buffet.
If you like to gamble, use the Red Card...you get 1 point for every $3 you spend and if it's your 1st visit, you get a free buffet at 55 points.
During our stay at the Encore, we tried several other Wynn/Encore restaurants (reviews to come) and were more satisfied. Yeah, we're not buffet people at all...
