| - The best dinner buffet on the strip, period. The Wynn is as good as it gets when it comes to dinner buffets on the strip. The only worthy competing buffet is the pricey Sterling Brunch and the Seafood Buffet at The M Resort. The Bellagio disappointed me.
This review is really long, so I had to write it as 2 reviews due to the character limitations of Yelp.
@ Alaskan King Crab - Bottom line, you come to the buffet for these crab legs. Otherwise, save your money and go to another buffet. The crab legs is what really sets apart the Wynn and the other buffets. These crabs legs are much bigger and sweeter than the ones at Bellagio. Unlike the Paris Buffet, the Wynn (and Bellagio) split the crab legs in half, making it very easy to eat. I recommend using chop sticks to eat it since its cleaner than using your hands and doesn't damage the meat like a fork.
@ Prime Rib - A meat that you certainly will see at every buffet. This is usually a mix bag. The good thing however is the Wynn now seems to be offering meat that standing in a pool of blood to meat that is burnt to a crisp. On the couple of visits prior, they only had one or the other. Disappointing for those who like their meat rare or those who like their meat well done. Don't bother telling the carvers what temperature meat you want, they'll just smile at you and just give you whatever. Just be a mountain, look at the meat you want, stare at it, and attack it or you can ask the carver nicely to cut you that piece of meat for you.
@ Shrimp Cocktail - The times I've been here, the shrimp cocktail seem to vary from really good and sweet to not that tasting that good. I would say the shrimp cocktail tends to be good more times than bad.
@ Rack of Lamb - This was so much fail. First round, I got lamb that is so dry that the only way to get it this way was to salt it, burn it to a crisp, cover it in sand to absorb all the moisture, and take a flamethrower to burn it to a crisp again and put it on my plate. Round 2 was just as bad, except in the other end of the spectrum. The meat wasn't even cooked on the outside, it wasn't super rare, it was raw. After these 2 rounds of fail, I just gave up on this item.
@ Sushi - This is a tough one. I'm trying to decide which place has the worst sushi, Wynn or Bellagio. I would say the Wynn is slightly better than the monstrosity at the Bellagio. At least the consistency of the filling inside is edible and not disgusting. Go to the M Resort if you want decent sushi for a buffet.
@ Pot Stickers - Eureka! I found an alternative to cough medicine. Oh wait never mind, it doesn't cure coughs. But it still taste really bad! Wahoooo!
@ Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings) - This wasn't all too bad. It was decent and by far better than places like Orchid or Ichiza. It was at least warm and didn't fall apart when you grab it. However, the quality of shrimp could have been better.
@ Shrimp Shumai - Ahh yes, I remember that I'm in Vegas, so you won't find any good dim sum here and this is no exception. Like the har gow, quality of shrimp was lacking. The skin made this item look less appetizing.
@ Korean BBQ - This won't win any awards, but it was satisfactory. Meat was tender and the sauce didn't overpower the meat.
@ Mini Baguette - The bread wasn't fresh the least bit. Its not like the baguette you get from a bakery that just came out the oven.
@ Pumpernickel Bread - After having a similar bread at Cheesecake Factory, I have fond memories of this bread. Alone this bread tastes just okay, but get the drawn butter that you use for crab legs and dip your pumpernickel bread in there. You'll feel like your in bread heaven with each bite.
@ Lamb Chop - The beginning of a lot of dry and overcooked meat. Pass.
@ Veal - A really gamey tasting meat, that was dry. Pass.
@ Red Snapper - Out of the 3 fishes I tried, this is my favorite. It was cooked just right. All the juices of the fish was still preserved, so sauce wasn't necessary.
@ Sea Bass - One of my favorite fishes that was dissapointing to eat. It was just way too overcooked and was very dry. Pass.
@ Crusted Salmon - Salmon is one of my least favorite fishes. However, this was cooked almost perfectly. Just a little tad bit too much, but still good.
@ Mussels - One of the dishes that I like, that I can't remember the sauce. I would say these are steam mussels in a light cream and butter sauce. Very delicious with the sauce.
@ Mashed Potatoes - I love mashed potatoes and always have to try it wherever I go. The mashed potatoes here was awesome. A perfect creamy, yet some firmness. Perfect consistency and most importantly tastes good as well.
@ Chocolate Orange Marmalade Cake - This dessert was very good, except for the orange layer in the middle that was sandwiched between the chocolate. Biting into the orange layer just ruined this cake for me. If it wasn't for the orange, this dessert would have been perfect.
