text: I was in town for CES with a number of friends this year and I was waiting in a giant line to board the Harrahs monorail the first morning when I saw the usual booklets of Vegas info in a little stand within the station Figuring I could use something to kill time I picked one up and started perusing the contents On one of the pages was listed the top buffets in Vegas I figured Well Rio has to be at the top with Bellagio nd and going on from there but was surprised to see that Wynn was ranked Rio and Bellagio nnSo I did some research and learned that the Wynn seems to be the new rage in buffets on the strip so we decided to check it out We arrived at around and waited for about minutes before getting on a Saturday evening Not too unreasonablennWe were eventually seated and provided drink orders then went to town Here were some of the highlightsnnPrecut cold King Crab legs This is my favorite part of every buffet King is king and if they are hot legs they are the best but most buffets do cold legs to keep them lasting longer The line for the seafood was the longest in the buffet and it was worth it When I finally got to the crab legs with my giant empty plate I started putting them on while a working behind the counter started gathering a ton of them in his gloved hand He then asked me if I wanted what he had collected on my plate I said yes and instantly my collection of legs with tongs turned into around I added a few more and got some drawn butter and the rest is history Awesome legsnnBraised short ribs Only slightly dry if not in the sauce but the meat literally fell of the bone and shredded easily with a fork Very tender and flavorfulnnPumpkin Ravioli I do not really like sweet food for dinner items but these were excellently done with great texture and flavor The spice was really present and enhanced the item wellnnLamb Chop Super tender and tasty Again fall off the bone goodness A little fatty but easily trimmed awaynnThe ice cream bar It is like a Coldstone or a gelato bar Tons of ice creams They also had crepes for those interestednnI tried a little of everything and these were the things that really stood out to me The rest was average and not overly impressive The thing is I would want to compare this to Bellagio since it took the number one spot and highlight some of the differences between the two that might help you decide which is better for younnBellagio ProsnBetter variety Beef Wellington Venison or Buffalo etcnLower pricenHigh qualitynnWynn ProsnCrab legs are cut in half for easy access if this applies to Bellagio then forgive my forgetfulness and remove this itemnLamb chopsnIce cream and crepe barnnIn general both have tons of desserts of which most suck and lots of standard items like salad pasta tacos prime rib etc The Wynn presentation for food was higher nice pictures taken by one of my friends but the Bellagio offers a better deal better bang for the bucknnSummary Most of the food was good Some of the food was great crab legs short ribs ice cream bar Food presentation was excellent But when it comes to overall deal for the price it is not worth it Bellagio seems a better deal with greater variety and comparable quality for less
