Disappointing Night At The Wynn Buffet

When you think of the Wynn Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, you think of class in everything they do. So today must have been a bad evening for the some of the staff and management at the Wynn.
It's our 2nd wedding anniversary today and we decided to treat ourselves to the Wynn. It is supposed to be the best buffet in town and it is also the most expensive.
First, it was hot. Hot and hot. My t-shirt was soaked with sweat along with a couple of cloth napkins by the time I left the buffet. Cathy was just as hot. I feel sorry for the workers who have to wear long sleeved shirts- they had to be suffering.
So, that be a reason why the service was a little below average. IAt most buffets, they keep your drinks full most of the time, but today, the waiter to his time refilling our glasses. And they were below average, compared to other buffet's in town, in clearing the dishes. When you pay over $80 for two people, you expect aboe average service. But again, i know they were working hard, and with the heat, you have to have some understanding.
The food was fancy, food you may see on some cooking shows, but it lacked taste, unless you like bland. The veal and regular ribs were fatty. The lamb stew was very good but, in reality, the food sounded fancy, but the taste was not.
As usual, the desserts were great.
But to top off the diappointing evening, as I was sitting on the pot in the bathroom, I looked up to see a gang tagging(graffitti) staring back at me from the top of the door in the bathroom stall. That's way below class for the Wynn.
It's more than disappointing to save some money to go out and do something and then find out, it really wasn't that great.
And Mr. Wynn, turn up the air conditioning, if not for the customers, at least for your staff who have to work in the heat.

  1. Wow, Dan, sorry your anniversary was so. . .sweaty. I've never been to Wynn's buffet, just a quick tour through the place. Not impressed. But I've been to: Golden Nugget, Mirage and Bellagio's buffets, all former Wynn properties, all fantastic. And you know what? Even the Silverton's buffet is pretty sweet. . .and not too pricey. Just a future FYI.

  2. Thanks- Haven't tried the Silverton's yet. Another good one is the M's and they have dropped their prices, so it may still be the best.
