| - we were planning on going to wicked spoon again cause some people in our group had not been there, but we were out by aria so we just stopped there. overall, i was pretty impressed and i wouldn't mind coming back. however, it was a little bit of a pain getting there because it was such a walk
service:
service was really good, and the staff was very nice. our whole group was pretty drunk and they were still very nice to us and explained all the stuff for the buffet. at the table they were fast bringing more drinks and they were fast at taking away plates but were not always there and getting in your way
value:
i think the buffet was pretty good value at $35. selection was more than bellagio, but the food itself was not quite as good. about the same amount, maybe a little less selection than wicked spoon but there were different choices. you get half a lobster per person too, but it wasn't really that big so i didn't think much of it, and i also am not a huge lobster person. the thing that i think puts the aria up there is that you get unlimited merlot or chardonnay with dinner which is cool. i am not a huge wine person, but free booze is free booze
food:
there was a large selection, and for the most part there was not anything i didn't like. sushi was better than wicked spoon, but not as good as bellagio. they had a cool little greek section which i really liked between the salads lamb and other offerings. the crab was really good (didn't taste like salt water, it actually tasted pretty good), the lobster was kinda rubbery and not too much flavor, but i always feel that lobster is like that which is why i am not a huge lobster fan as said earlier. the shrimps by the crab with the shells still on were very good, along with the already prepared shrimp cocktales. the pizza was decent, along with the fish and chips. the only thing i don't think i liked was the baby back ribs. they were just so fatty that it was not enjoyable to eat them. dessert was a small section, but the choices all tasted pretty good, and they had butterfinger gelato which was absolutely amazing.
overall, I would probably come back, but i wouldn't make it a priority as i love going to different buffets all the time
