People serve themselves huge portions, eat a few bites then push it aside and move on. Here you have quality- and they’ll bring you more. Thanks for a great video!!

Vegas buffets USED to be an inexpensive way to eat, now it looks like you almost have to take out a loan to eat in these places. So much for the Senior discount. You now pay AFTER you eat and the tax, fees, and tip, you're paying almost $100.00 for ONE person!
@Nonduality4 жыл бұрын
It's a fair price. Compare it to the cost of buying prime rib, beef ribs, turkey, crab legs, mussels, cheesecake, ice cream, strawberry shortcake, salmon, and everything else they eat and could have eaten, then consider the time it takes to cook everything perfectly and to clean up afterward. A hundred bucks is cheap.

Though I could see that approach being used by the other big buffets in Vegas, at least for a little while. The Wynn buffet has been on my to do list for a few years now and I still haven't made it happen, honestly with that style of operation I'm not sure I would want it to be my first experience there. On the other hand though, I could see smaller portions getting staggered as a good way to try multiple different things since you wouldn't fill your plate with just a few different items each trip and get full quickly. Whatever the case, Derek thanks so much for getting this video out!!! It's very interesting to see how they've adapted!

I was actually hoping to see the standard buffet tables displaying the food, but without self-service. Instead, have servers behind the counter dishing up what you want and then hand you your food at the end or have your server deliver it to your table. Great video.

Any time I've eaten at a restaurant with this format, it is encouraged to order your next series of dishes when the server comes with your food. That way, there is literally no time spent waiting between series of dishes. I find it strange that you have to order, wait for the food to be served, have your plates removed, wait for the server to return to take your order, and wait some more. It also seems far less efficient employee-wise.

@electrictroy20104 жыл бұрын
(1) Wynn has always served appetizer sized portions. You can grab or request 2-3 plates of each item. (2) Flamingo & Harrahs has cheaper buffets at $25, but the food is bad. I went once and never again. Wynn and Cosmopolitan is best. (3) Strip casino workers are union at $20/hour (more or less; depends on seniority). No tip needed, so that saves some cash .

Michael Lynn actually, most good fried chicken is marinated, then breaded, ASSUMING you have thawed out chicken ready to prepare. Then depending on the size of the piece it can take up to 20 minutes to cook. They’d been better off sending someone to Popeyes.

@JetHawk4 жыл бұрын
They got early bird special around 3-5pm for $45-46. Same $60 dinner menu I believe. I like the new service style. Whenever they go back to self serving I hope they can consider having them pre-plated instead of customers plating food themselves. Having food in their own plate is much more presentable and makes it easier to try everything, vs a customer piling their own plate to realize they can’t finish it. I don’t wanna put Asian food next to spaghetti anymore.

Will try the Wynn as the food looks deliciously amazing. Thanks for the great video. I am a slow eater. Will need to eat faster so as to get my plates a lot faster. Good to see your fiance with you. You both have different foods you like but some you tried together. Many people waste food at buffets. I think the smaller portions were a good serving size. If you liked what you ate then you could get more. I was brought up to eat what was on my plate. We took what we wanted but ate what we took. Food has gotten very expensive and I have been to buffets where the people would take all the food they could place on the table stacking it 3-4 high. They ate just a little and the remainder was thrown away. I remember going to the store and getting 2 bags of food for $20. My food order last week came to $376.35. It will last me for a good while. Have to remember the casinos and buffets were closed down for months and they are slowly trying to get back on their feet. Give them a chance as everyone has to walk before they can run.

Would not eat at a buffet like that. 2hr time limit ok... but when servers take forever to find out what you want give you their spiel that is not ok. Also, you are encouraged to order just a couple things. And other people are choosing portions and sides for you... no thanks... at a buffet I want to choose, including how much gravy/bbq sauce/etc I want. Don't like this new style at all. Cafeteria style was laughed in video... but if I'm paying a huge price, I want actual portions, not tasting samples. BTW Derek... you video is really good, and the music in the background was nice (hope you don't get demonitized for it)... and I think your fiance adds a great quality to the videos. Nice to see things returning back to Vegas. CHeers

Casinos are union, so they get $20/hour and don’t need tipped. Plus the 2 hour limit is law across multiple states (and all restaurants). So complain to your governor if you don’t like it (shrug) .

So good to see you back, and with an almost feature length edition too. Have to say, first off, I think the Wynn have done a good job there. Spacing everyone, the service looked good, and the food good quality, everything you would expect and want from the Wynn. With 2 hours too, you can still get a really good feed in too. Your Fiance really should join you more in these videos. She was great, very enjoyable to watch and listen too. She is clearly a big foodie too. Great stuff. So far I am sold on the ribs and Turkey and that mash looked great too. The prime rib, not done enough for me but the yorkshire was a nice touch. and it was a shame about the fried chicken. The ice creams looked lovely and the desserts overall. I liked it. They packed in the courses and nothing seemed to much trouble. Thanks to you both for a great video.
