Buffet at Bellagio

What is it?

Food selections and quality that rival that of the best gourmet restaurants with prices that do the same.

Where is it?

At Bellagio on the Center Strip.

What kind of food is served?

If you’re looking for a hearty, middle-America buffet you may want to consider going elsewhere. This one is decidedly upscale with pastas, Asian dishes, seafood appetizers, duck, and game hens to name a few of the offerings on my last visit. Even the salad bar shows off with eggplant and foie gras. But there is a little something here for everyone and everything is deliciously prepared and served with expert care.

What is the atmosphere like?

The luxurious European feel of Bellagio carries over here in an elegant yet casual dining room.

How is the service?

Everyone here is friendly and almost frighteningly efficient.

What are the prices like?

Remember the days when you could get a huge dinner buffet for $5? Those days are gone, especially here where dinner is going to run you around $40. But I have to say that you get a lot in terms of selection and quality than you ever could’ve at those $5 buffets of yore.

What else do I need to know?

Their Sunday brunch has become a legend in this town with free-flowing champagne just for starters.

What’s the bottom line?

One of the best buffets in town.
