It was a monday night in vegas and we decided to check out the Bellagio Buffet. This used to be a highly rated buffet and I used to somewhat look forward to coming here but it may be possible that the buffet has gone down in quality or my buffet eating days are over.\n\nThey do have a pretty broad selection of foods from Chinese, Japanese, Italian and everything in-between. There definitely is no lack of variety here. \n\nMany of the items are standard fare at the higher end buffets in Sin City. A mountain of shrimp cocktail and snow crab legs on ice always draw a small line. The shrimp cocktail was it's usual, appetizing, but the snow crab was not as fresh as usual and had a funny taste to it. The meat was hard to get out of the shells which is usually a sign that the crab wasn't fresh. Maybe being there on a Monday has something to do with it.\n\nThe selection of fish was great. Salmon that was prepared sashimi, smoked, poached, and every which way you can imagine. There was also swordfish and sea bass.\n\nFor dessert fans there is a huge bar filled with mini cheesecakes, carrot cake, soft serve ice cream, creme brulee, and much, much more. This is great for anyone who just wants to try a little bit of everything.\n\nI would still venture to the Vegas buffets. Once in awhile you just like the variety and don't care enough to think of a specific restaurant to eat at. The smorgasbord in the Bellagio is a good backdrop for an eating competition or where quantity rules over quantity.
