After reading some of the other reviews here, I almost didn't go to this buffet which would have been a mistake. Some of the points mentioned by the other reviewers while true, don't equate to a 1 or 2 star rating. Yes, the shrimp was located a long way from the crab legs, the Asian items at this buffet are not the greatest, etc. buth this place serves quality food.\n\nI found the atmosphere to be dependent on where you are sitting. The middle area is most pleasant with the dimmed lighting. Sitting on some of the edges may make the place seem more cafeteria like.\n\nThe Food: I ate the weeked gourmet buffet (which costs a bit more). They had rack of lamb, leg of lamb, sucking pig, and many more great tasting rare items. Even the taste and quality of the none entree items (rice, potatoes etc.) was high. The deserts here are exceptional. They are exquisitely prepared on small desert trays. I tried 5-6 different items, and they were all excellent. They also had some gelato although the selection was not as great as at the Rio seafood buffet. \n\nI'm only giving this four stars because I have not tried the Bellagio. I'd say the overall quality, value, and taste is a bit higher than the Mandalay Bay buffet (which is also very good).\n\nI returned to the weekend dinner buffet in January 2011. The prices seem a bit higher, but they now give you half a lobster ($5 extra for a whole lobster) and house wines with your dinner. The various entrees and side dishes (great garlic naan) are still excellent as was the service. The desert selections were not as large as when they first opened.
