| - I hope you've trained long and hard for this young chocolate covered grasshopper! Break out the gartered pants, large bib, and Maalox before you head on over to this desert jewel because you will need it if you're going to make out of this buffet alive :)
Who could ask for anything more besides a bed to take a nap in after indulging yourself in all of the fantastic eats that the Buffet at Bellagio has to offer each person young and old? Yes, they have the crab legs. Yes, they have the melted butter that goes with it too! Yes, they have creme brulee! And if it's out on the floor, yes, they will also have Kobe beef :9'' Yum!
Tips to survive the Buffet at Bellagio
Tip#1: DO NOT GET TOO MUCH OF ONE THING
If any person knows the best way to eat at a buffet, it's ME! You take a little of everything here and there for a little taste. Think of the buffet as uncharted territory and Capt. Stomach has sent you on a mission to find the best eatery and bring it back to base. You're sent on a recon out and you're faced with an amalgam of tastes and smells EVERYWHERE! If it looks good and smells good, take a little to see if it tastes good; especially if it's your first time trying it. Do not grab a pound of the mediterranean salad, take a bite, and dump it. Please. And if it tastes good, don't get too much because there's a million other things to try here also!
Tip #2: Create a plan!
Make a map even! Walk around the buffet first to see what you're working with a keep a mental of what's where, what everyone is going for, what seems to be the most popular item on the buffet line. Do all of this so you know where to start. Don't just start picking and grabbing here because unlike the other buffets, I've noticed this to be the most cultured of cuisines. I'm not talking about tacos and orange chicken-culture. I'm talking about bistro-worthy eats that you won't find at a Taco Bell or a Panda Express!
Tip#3: Start light and work your way up!
So you're out on the buffet line, empty plate in hand, and you're a hunter with a hunger. Start light with their salad. It's on it's own island so you're won't have too much trouble finding it. Sounds epic doesn't it? Haha! There's also a little sushi bar. Sometimes they'll even have beef tartare! Mmmm. Then after you've warmed your insides, take a tour of the seafood: crab legs THAT ARE ALREADY CUT (awesome!), the sea bass is GREAT as also. If you're lucky to come at a time when they have Kobe beef, get some! It's absolutely scrumptous! It is extremely tender and melts like butter in your mouth!
If you're a local, take your friends here if they really want a taste of what Las Vegas buffets and food is all about! Enjoy and happy eating! :)
