Had dinner buffet at Aria which is a gourmet buffet and includes unlimited wine. It also includes half a Maine Lobster per person for $38.95 each. So at those rates I expected a lot and I'm sorry to say I was highly disappointed. The server we had was not the best. The lobster was small and over cooked. It was so soft I could crack the shell with my bare hands. The highlight of my buffet experience at Aria were the cuts of meats. The skirt steak, prime rib, and brisket were delicious, very tender. The pork & beef ribs were dry. Sushi selection was basic and the other selections were simple. They have a special oven that cooks Indian Naan bread which was very good and the tandoori chicken was very moist. I've been to many Las Vegas buffets n Aria does not make my top 5 list. For them to call it a gourmet dinner is misleading. The presentation wasn't even gourmet. So if you're in Vegas and willing to spend $40.00 for a dinner buffet, try The Wicked Spoon at The Cosmopolitan which is a walk across the bridge. That's more gourmet, just no lobster.
