 | |  |  | The Buffet at Bellagio: Good-quality buffet. | Tip Rating:   Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
My girlfriend was not over-excited with the prospect of coming to Las Vegas, however one way of convincing her and make her enjoy it was to tell her about all the buffet restaurants that I had heard about, specially the ones offering some kind of seafood. We ended up choosing the one at Bellagio as we were a bit short on time (we were going to watch a show at the same hotel) and did not really want to look around. Fortunately, neither one of us was dissapointed. She had 2 tons of seafood, mainly "King crab legs, and I cant believe how nice the people were, they had actually cut the legs open, so all you have to do is stuff yourself up until you don't feel well anymore :) I have a problem with buffet restaurants (the same happens during weddings and other parties were there is a lot of food), I never know what to choose and I end up eating very little. This time I had a lot of meat, mainly beef and some venison There was a huge variety of food ranging from sushi to pasta (who would ever want to eat that at a buffet?) and seafood, meat. Not very much fish, though. I was not very impressed by the desserts, the selection was not great and the quality was average. Our waiter was very nice and we had a good time. We paid about $30 each and I think it was worth it.

The Bellagio has a "gourmet" buffet on the weekends, and we thought we would try it out as we have heard so much about the Bellagio's buffet. We lined up for the buffet at 4:20 pm, and already, there was approximately 100 people in the queue, so, as you can expect, that did a lot to build anticipation. Again, with most of the popular buffets, try to get there around 5:00 pm or around 9:00 pm, as there were about 200 people queued up when we left. I am sad to say we were slightly disappointed with the offerings -- mind you, not the variety of food, which was good, but rather the quality. After all for $33.00 a person, I expect excellent quality, which I found lacking here. The service was overall excellent, though the hostess went through the motions as if we were (and most likely were) the millionth people she has seated. Drinks were brought and plates were taken away very quickly. The ambiance was not condusive to the elegance the Bellagio likes to portray. We found this place was more of a feeding trough than the Spice Market Buffet (Aladdin Hotel) with people shoving in line, and the way they were acting in the King Crab leg line-up, you'd think they had concealed weapons or something. I almost had a dessert grabbed out of my hands. Also, the loud, blaring rock music, though not ideal as background dinner music, sort of seemed like an appropriate soundtrack for the surrounding feeding frenzy.
Everything was generally good quality, and there were "gourmet" items such as the smoked polenta with corn relish, and Kobe beef. However, for $33.00 US, I do not expect overcooked, and therefore tough Kobe beef. Overcooking Kobe beef is almost sacriligeous! Also, the steamed spinach looked great, until you bit into it and realized it was made with a pound of salt. The pecan pie's pecans were rancid, and the bakery staff, when I told them, really did not seem to care. It may seem like I am picky, but I would expect this stuff from $10.99 buffet, not a $33.00 "gourmet" buffet. There were some dishes that were very well done, don't get me wrong, but for this price I would not return. There's too many other good buffets for less money, like The Spice Market at the Aladdin or the Paris buffet.

| | | | The Buffet at Bellagio: Splendid as expected from the Bellagio | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction: | | | | |
I took my ex-girlfriend here after a weekend trek to Vegas. Read in a Japanese review how this place was considered one of the best buffets in town. Knowing that the Bellagio stood for class, I had to inspect this place myself. When we hit the place for dinner, the line was quite long, but moving steadily. The price was a little steep and it seemed that the staff was a bit miffed, but a little humor offset their grim tone. After being seated, we finally hit the various stations. Let me say that the scale and grandeur for a buffet was just incredible. They had a good variety of food, more ethnic or exotic items like their pastas, some meats, etc. I passed on the sushi as I used to work in one of the world's finest sushi markets (Tsukiji in Tokyo). But some stuff I sampled where the salmon cheese rolls, lamb, pizza and dessert. According to my guidebook, the pizza is supposed to be pretty famous (well as far as buffets are concerned). And indeed it was excellent. I'm not a big fan of lamb, but this place changed that. The lamb is definitely highly recommended. Also, the crab legs were enormous. To top it off there's an excellent dessert station. The two things that stood out were the pudding (can't remember the name) and the key lime pie. Wow, just thinking about that pie makes me want to return just for that. Our waiter in particular looked a bit overworked. He was complaining that people were ordering things and wasting it. Can't blame him. Another woman waitress was exceptionally friendly with the children and that impressed me. Overall, must eat place to go.
