We hit up The Buffet at Wynn right after catching The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere, and apparently, everyone else in Las Vegas had the exact same bright idea.
First off: trying to make a reservation the day of is an absolute joke. Don't bother. We ended up waiting in the walk-up line for 45+ minutes just to get a seat. Once you finally get to a table, a host seats you and you pay right then and there. It’s definitely pricey, but "It's Vegas!" seems to be the universal pass for overcharging on everything here.
As for the food itself, it was pretty good across the board:
Seafood: They offer both warm and cold crab legs, plus cold lobster claws.
Meat & Carving Station: The prime rib was pretty middle-of-the-road, but they had a solid variety of other meats.
Sides & Salad Bar: Tons of fresh vegetables and a well-stocked salad bar if you want something green to balance out the plate.
Dessert: Huge selection here. The highlight was definitely the live dessert station where they make fresh s'mores right in front of you.
Service was completely standard—nothing special, but nothing bad either.
Everyone touts the Wynn as the undisputed #1 buffet in Las Vegas. While the food was tasty and the variety was great, I’m not sure it completely justified the price tag or the massive wait. It’s pretty good, but manage your expectations (and your schedule) before heading in.
