  • "Reputation is Everything." That is, assuming it's a good one, which The Buffet at the Bellagio seems to still have (100 people waiting in line!). It's just a shame that the food can't back that up anymore. While they were pretty darn good the last time I was here, The Buffet now seems to be living off its reputation more than anything else. Although there were about 40 people in line when we arrived (it more than doubled by the time we left), we were able to bypass the wait by making a reservation. The trade off was a fixed 18% gratuity, but it was well worth it to get in that much faster and to have all 12 of us seated together. Plus, we probably would have tipped that much anyways. On the plus side, there was a wide variety to choose from. Like nearly every other Vegas buffet, there were sections for Asian food, sushi/sashimi, seasonal fruits, various salads, pastas, pizzas, and seafood (including fresh king crab legs). In addition, they also had a couple of carvery stations offering meaty favorites like prime rib, Kobe beef, ribs, pork belly, and rack of lamb, as well as stations for made-to-order tacos and caviar. And, of course, a dessert bar with a wealth of selections to cap your meal. While all that variety was great, it was also necessary in order to find things worth eating. Most of the food was just okay with a handful of tasty items, but the carvery meats were really disappointing though - the prime rib was okay and the rack of lamb was good, but the Kobe beef was AWFUL (tough and flavorless). Furthermore, the tacos were pretty bleh, two of the three caviars were just tobiko and ikura (like at Japanese restaurants), and the sashimi didn't look appetizing at all. At $39 a head for a regular Saturday night dinner, the price is comparable with the better buffets on the Strip (Wynn's buffet and Cosmo's Wicked Spoon, for two), but the food felt like it was a step or two behind. TWO AND A HALF STARS rounded up because things like the salmon mousse cups, smoked salmon, chocolate covered strawberries, and rack of lamb were "plus" items. Plus, a part of me just hopes that it was a bad night. However, if I had to paid out of my pocket (the resort credit I got for staying at the Bellagio covered my meal), I would have rounded down.
