The Bellagio Buffet was one of our favorite buffets whenever we visit Vegas. We arrived a little before 3pm on a Friday for the buffet and did not have to experience any waiting lines and were promptly seated. Our waitress promptly took our drink orders shortly after we were seated.
Started out with some salads, peeled shrimp and sushi. They were good but nothing special. They have snow crab legs, but at 3:30pm they start bringing out the dinner items and that includes crab legs. These were a lot better than the snow crab legs.
I usually gravitate towards to the carving station at buffets. The slices of beef and the beef wellington were disappointing to say the least. Both were medium well and were on the dry side. The wellingtons that were on the carving station were all at the same medium well doneness. Wow, shouldn't you have different doneness to satisfy the different palates?
The desserts were the best part of my meal. With a decent selection, they were in most part pretty good.
The service was very good and efficient. Our used plates were promptly removed from our table.
Overall, the food appears to have dropped in quality from our past visits. For a couple of bucks more, the Bacchanal Buffet at Caesar's is worth it as it is in another class. We had tried the Bacchanal Buffet and everything we tried was delicious. Sorry, but can't say this is the case for the Bellagio Buffet.
