The Buffet at Wynn is one of the better high-end buffets in Las Vegas. While it is a little more expensive than The Buffet at Bellagio, the quality and selection are not quite as good as Bellagio's, but it is a very good buffet in its own right.
The buffet has plenty of fresh offerings - different types of hot and cold soups and salads, international cuisine, limited sushi selections, peel and eat shrimp, split King Crab legs, fresh breads and fruit, and a separate room filled with desserts that include sugar-free selections.
Selections are placed out in smaller portions and replenished often. Dinner service includes several additional carving stations for prime rib and turkey.
I have eaten at The Buffet many times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In my opinion, I found the dinner service to be a little overpriced and lacking in its selection for the price. My favorite is the breakfast buffet, when several different international versions of Eggs Benedict are offered in addition to dozens of other breakfast foods that are both common and uncommon. They serve a chicken and apple sausage that is absolutely delicious and spicy, and I've never had anything quite like it anywhere. Also, their Kobe meatballs are delicious, and their white pizza is fresh and crisp and a popular choice. Other things I've tried here and found nowhere else on a breakfast buffet (and that I'd love to try again): Taso Ham Benedict, Seafood Frittata, and hashbrown balls.
Drinks are included in the price of this buffet, and alcoholic drinks can be ordered at your table for an additional cost. Your waiter or waitress will take the payment at the time the drink is delivered.
The lines for this buffet are sometimes long, especially at 12 p.m. and 8 p.m., which seem to be the 'traditional' meal times in Vegas. I like to go to this particular buffet at about 10 a.m. so I can take advantage of the changeover from breakfast to lunch for the breakfast price. I prefer to take smaller portions of many different dishes because I enjoy sampling the offerings, and I always go by the mantra that you can always get more, not less.
If you sign up for the Wynn Red Card through their player's club, new members are able to earn from 50 to 250 points (depending on their current promotion) and receive two free buffets that can be used for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you earn the buffets and choose to redeem them, please note that both buffets must be used within 24 hours or they will be forfeited.
The layout of the buffet is a long, single line with caps at both ends for the seafood and soups and salads. The food is divided into stations by international offerings: Italian, Asian, etc., and signs overhead help guide you to the stations. The dessert room is located at the midpoint of the buffet, nearer to the main seating area.
The seating areas are divided into rooms for a more intimate feel. It is easy to get turned around and head for the wrong area, but it is a beautiful dining space and has an open and airy feel.
The waitstaff provides carafes of coffee, tea, or orange juice at your table and refills the carafes as needed. Watching the bussers, tables are cleaned quickly after patrons leave, but at busier times of the day they seem to get a little overwhelmed and could probably use more help.
Overall, I rate this buffet as a 9.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. It is another wonderful Las Vegas buffet, and while it is one of the most expensive, it is worth the price.
