| - Rumor has it that the Wynn buffet is the finest buffet in Vegas.
Rumor is right.
I have to make a disclaimer first, though: I'm not a buffet fan. In my experience, buffet food is bland, stale, and mass-produced. Plus, I can't force-feed myself enough stuff to justify the cost.
That said... In terms of quality and atmosphere, the Wynn buffet blows all other buffets out of the water. No other buffet comes close.
We decided to give the Wynn buffet a try on a Monday morning. I was surprised that there was already a line, but it moved quickly. After paying the cashier, we were ushered through the bright and cheerful entryway to our seats. Water and OJ appeared in front of us in no time.
Then we wandered over to scope out the savory food...
Let's just say that the selection is... obscene. Don't bother trying everything here; it's impossible unless you have a black hole in your stomach or something. Be strategic with what you want to taste. My memory is too hazy to provide an unabridged list of the deliciousness available at the Wynn buffet, so I'll begin by recalling a few highlights from the savory options:
** Pastas (delicious bowties with pesto, rigatoni, etc.)
** Fried chicken (crispy outside, juicy inside -- superb!)
** Mashed potatoes (creamy!)
** Gazpacho (fresh and tangy!)
** Bagels and lox with cream cheese and LOTS of fresh onions (my weakness)
** Vaguely Chinese-inspired stir-fries (flavorful and not greasy)
** Omelets made to order (yum!)
** Beet & orange salad (love!)
** Split pea risotto (amazing texture)
** Carnitas bowls (nicely done!)
... and my mind is blanking on the rest of the delicious savory goodies.
There were some lowlights sprinkled in, though:
** Pizza (rubbery, grease-soaked, and inedible)
** Sushi (slimy rice-balls that are better suited for throwing at people you dislike)
** Prime rib (overcooked into oblivion)
Of course, the shining star of the Wynn buffet is the dessert room. The sweet options here are mind-bogglingly diverse and 100% delicious:
** Gelato bar
** Marshmallow "lollipops" dipped in chocolate
** Keylime cheesecake
** Crème brûlée
** Chocolate chunk brownies
** Strawberry tarts
** Candy apples
** Mini red velvet cupcakes
** Cookies galore
I lost count of how many plates of food I went through. :-/ In my defense, I only took a bite or two (or twenty) from each one. :-) The Wynn buffet is the (main) reason I had to hit the gym reeeeeeeeally bad when I returned home.
Viva Las Vegas... and Viva Wynn buffet!
