| - The short version - skip the dinner and just get dessert. Trust me.
The long version:
We were super excited to try a new buffet in Vegas. Although we love the Wynn, we figured we should branch out with our most recent visit. The reviews on Yelp were all glowing, and the pictures were drool-inducing.
But maybe we should have headed the signs the gods were sending us not to go. We got lost not once, but twice on our way there as no one in that complex seems able to give good directions and it is way out of the way in the bowels of the beast. Seriously, there is no way you would be able to find it without directions. The signage was crap.
On to the food though. By the time we finally arrived we were starving and ready to go. As per usual buffet routine, we each grabbed a tiny bit of everything during the first round (or as many bits as would fit on our plates). Here we encountered problem #1. Predetermined portions (unless small) should never be used in Buffets. particularly when they plate dishes on too big of plates and one can only grab one or two items on a trip. For example, there were like three varieties of mac and cheese, none of which were good, yet we had to take three sizable ramekins to find this out. I hate throwing food out.
Problem #2. Yes, fusion is fun, but not every dish needs to be a "wow, i never thought those two things would go together!" Sometimes the classics are ok. Really. Dishes that fell into this category were so un-memorable I've forgotten them already, but trust me, there were quite a few.
Problem #3. Sushi. I agree, sushi really should not be a sushi dish. But if you are going to serve it, and you are in vegas, home of the sushi buffet for some reason, you need to keep it fresh. Blegh.
And now on to the good things...
Awesomeness #1 Marrow. I know people have commented it on it many atime, but crap, it's so good.
Awesomeness #2 the dessert bar. Oh my lord. Seriously. Next time it will be straight to this section. The sheer variety was awesome, but of all the pieces we tried, there was not one bad or even mediocre one. The Lady Godiva Chocolate Lolis.....just think of super moist brownies with an amazing chocolate shell. And cheesecake with just enough lemon zest....dare I say it, better than homemade. And the homemade marshmallows will change your whole perspective on things.
I could go on and on, and am very tempted to, but that would just be cruel.
Awesomeness #3 Best wait staff in a buffet. Glasses always full, plates always cleared and nice to boot.
Overall, -2 stars for the main dinner, but the dessert alone is worth it. We'll just make sure to hit the Wynn buffet earlier in the day.
