[@nagleys]

I would prefer having food servers at the food stations....you hold the plate and they load it up as you direct....moving from station to station as you choose.

[@TheJayhawker83]

Yes. Or they can put what you want on a smaller plate or bowl and give it to you to put on your tray. I like to see exactly what I'm getting. Don't like that someone is doing that for me.

Unfortunately that’s outlawed, because customers are required to stay 6 feet distance (at the table).

[@denverdahlia8139]

I’ve never enjoyed anything more than this video! Awesome job giving a true representation of the experience. I went into it thinking I’d never pay that price, but after watching your review I’d definitely go for it! Sure the portions are not ginormous- but there’s so much waste on buffets. 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!!

[@ladadiladida4106]

🍽️ I just watched Travel Ruby's review of the new buffet also. It was really good, but i think i'm going to wait till the old style comes back..

[@selfmadez9954]

i agree, just doesn't look the same :(

[@richierich25]

For the price point it is still well worth it in my opinion. I would like to try the new style but a little concerned about cold food coming out.

[@electrictroy2010]

Flamingo & Harrahs has cheaper buffets at $25, but the food is bad. I went once and never again. Wynn & Cosmopolitan are gourmet-level buffets that taste great like a restaurant. (Also the price is ~10 cheaper Sunday-Thursday.) And finally the casino workers are union at $20/hour (more or less; depends on seniority). No tip needed, so saves some cash .

[@samwyatt3544]

I like that the Wynn have tried to do something to get the buffet open early. The new system has its perks and flaws but the food looks great. Brilliant video Derek

[@neilyaremchuk6798]

Be easier if you ordered from an iPad or tablet that sent the order to the kitchen and runners just brought them out. I’m actually ok with small portions done tapas style.

[@destroyerj]

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!

[@Nonduality]

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.

[@ellenw391]

ROFL. You think 100 bucks is cheap Per person, for a buffet not fine dining? Please, take me out to eat all the time! That is absurd in my world. Especially since all this is basic food& TINY portions!!.And it wasn't even king crab legs. Plus there's only so much 1 can eat in a meal, well excluding a couple of guys I know LOL But I doubt I would eat $25 worth of food let alone 100!

[@cheap25]

Only a gorilla or other assorted animals would eat $100 worth of food. So.....

[@kevgret]

$140 after tax and tip... wow... I remember when vegas didn't rob you at the buffet.

I tried an AYCE with this type of service, the first time I tried it I wasted a lot of time waiting. The second time I ordered 6 dishes at the start and once I finished 3 I put the next order in and was kept busy eating till I was done. I love that type of service now as it is cleaner, you just have to get your ordering plan sorted out a bit better.

[@michellealexander6765]

I agree once they bring you your first order then you put in your next order and someone is someone so this way you cut down your waiting time and get the most out of it but the food looks absolutely fantastic and I’m definitely going there

[@BOOMER-rs5qn]

As for the buffet, the food looks amazing, with inconsistent service. Knowing Wynn, they will get all of this resolved quickly. It's interesting to see what the future of buffets will be like. 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. I love the way you ordered food-dessert-food-dessert.

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.

I'm glad they found a way of operating that allowed them to open back up, but I don't see that being a sustainable model for them to run on long term. 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!

[@CeCe7]

This is like having dim sum where they bring the food to you in San Francisco.

[@jovanteclark5893]

Takes away from the buffet experience not being able to serve yourself. Wack!

[@JCizzleSoCal]

I know right....I love touching the same serving utensils as everyone else in the buffet line.

[@michaelk9056]

4 crab legs...... I'm stuffed... LMAO

[@SunnyKittyKatt]

You don’t have to worry about how old the food is either tho 🤷‍♀️

Right

No fried chicken 🍗for Derek -fail. Lol. But it looked good and the fiancé input was great

[@ssweeps]

The server needs to walk around with you in the food area as you point out which foods you want and how much.

[@RickyG225]

Good call. Present that plan to Vegas buffets in general. Gets my vote!

[@gruss512]

I was think you walk up they serve you. All foods done like the carving stations. No more self serve.🤔

[@twillick]

Now that's true love, the missus asked if there was fried chicken. It is your favorite.

Yes! Love the Church, Alarm and most of all Duran Duran! ❤️👍🏻

[@southside.o.g.9331]

The way they're garnishing and presenting the food may give you an upscale feel, and a different experience, compared to just piling a bunch of food on a plate with no beginning or ending. I'm loving the new concept

[@dk7934]

The food looks great. And I know it's the "new normal" and that this is the way it has to be. But the long ordering process really impedes on the whole enjoyment of the buffet experience.

[@EpicBerserker]

That not a buffet they limit the portion size to timy bites and make you wait to bring it out idk for 60 bucks each before tip idk about that

[@TRMV]

You can still order as much of it as you want! I actually like the smaller portion sizes! Food stays warm and fresh, and if you don’t like something it’s less waste!

[@coombem1978]

Just order more portions? Surely the point is to try loads of different things

[@otischappabitty9822]

@@TRMV but what if you just wanted to taste it, buffet i could get a bite size to see if i like it, with this im ordering a portion if i dont like it after 1 bite then i just wasted it, i see more waste

[@electrictroy2010]

(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 .

[@maretvilla1531]

Go during lunch and you pay half the price. $60 is for dinner and weekends.

[@nicolepollock9161]

I CANNOT wait!! I prefer this plated style over the old feeding trough style! Thanks Derek!

Derek...you need to do an all you can Vegas from your wedding!

[@Whiteknightab]

Hi Derek, greetings from Scotland. I so enjoy your videos and this was, IMHO, one of your best yet. Love your commentary and your facial expressions of delight.

[@Michael_the_muffinman]

I miss the buffet experience. Serving exactly what I want how I want. The nice thing about a buffet is you can have tastes of what you want.

[@MikesVegas]

This reminds me of a Cruise dining experience 🛳

[@toddjohnston4788]

I'm not really sold on it.. having multiple servers is definitely different. And true Buffet's looking at what you want before you serve yourself is much better than a picture menu. But yes I would try. Thanks guys 👍😋

[@gvmdiesel86]

What if you come in 3:15pm. Do they give you the dinner menu at 3:30pm?

[@ssweeps]

They sent a server to the store to get you your own digornos pizza slice at a 60 dollar a person buffet...

[@Tloc103]

That’s no buffet. I’ll wait until it’s a real buffet. They make you wait til you’re not hungry anymore.

[@maghniasabri4060]

Cosmo open they buffet you go to the station buffet choose your food and the server put the food on you plate .

[@jony6584]

Miss the old vegas buffets!

So I’m a person that absolutely hates eating in a crowded restaurant. So this new concept of dining I absolutely love it. Everything is more clean 🧽

[@marilynwelther5823]

I don’t mind being served versus traditional buffet.

[@suzinazsuzinaz9445]

That was great Derek! Really made me hungry! 🥩

[@stevekckm7879]

Its 7 pm monday after Derek's vlog into the new Wynn buffet. I just left dinner. Sure it's expensive but you can eat till you bust for two hours. I enjoyed the way the staff brings you the food. It's at a better pace than just fill a huge plate up and barely finish half of it. This is the first buffet where each hot dish comes out hot and each cold dish is cold not room temperature. The food quality was typical Wynn dining--excellent. Now let's see how the Bucchanal tries to top this.

[@JetHawk]

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.

[@lynpowney4136]

Well done! We love watching you and having your fiancé with you is just so sweet.xx

[@dvandentop]

Looks like a great value for the $60 especially for how many portions you had I'm definitely tempted to try it out since like you said there so many different choices

[@cyoohoos]

dvandentop I am not entertaining mac n cheese and mashed potatoes for $60 per PERSON. Asparagus, butternut squash, more than 3 corn kernels and a dime size piece of salmon, etc.

[@johnbacon1854]

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.

[@Scott-rd3rt]

Ok but what if I don't want my waiter to know how much food I really eat................................

Derek this is the most I've seen you eat on one of these videos. Everything look delicious. I love all your videos.

How are people going to hoard mountains of crab legs without feeling like a pig?

[@Lucybell783]

I will have an order of crab legs please. Bring them to me until I tell you to stop.

[@muffin47gal12]

I see some plus in the new format. Selected food items will arrive fresh and hot, less food waste, some break time between ordering new dishes.👍🇨🇦

[@mlauren629]

LMAO! I laughed when the lady said "Nice portion size".....She's never seen my plate at. King Crab buffet. I'm all business! LOL

[@georgesenda1952]

They stuff them down their pants.

[@chachi_arcola]

They gave her like 4 crab legs 🤣🤣🤣 I don't imagine this format lasting very long. Derek's portions were tiny too, and there was too much waiting cutting into the 2 hour time limit.

[@ImChurro]

For all of you that aren’t from Las Vegas; this system of ordering is relatively common as its the same system used in AYCE sushi restauraunts, which are very common here. It’s different indeed, but no doubt the servers are used to it

[@thespankdmonkey]

I heard that crunch! Me and the wife have discussed hitting the gourmet brunch as that is about the only time that works in our schedules unless one of us takes a night off. Looking at the video that may be an option as I have loaded up a crap ton of PTO working through the shut down! Thanks for the video!

[@vgm006]

buffet dinner 59$. i rather spend 59$ on a regular restaurant.

Not to mention the skimpy crab Leah. They looked old.

she delivers the mashed potato with her bare fingers inside the rim of the bowl. More smoke and mirrors

[@Lucybell783]

It's a whole new world and The Wynn is jumping in full force. It's great to see their new method of getting food to customers and I am sure the other hotels are watching to see what works and what does not so they can make plans to open their own buffets.

[@michaelgiordano2093]

Great video Derek.. The Wynn is one of my favorite buffets, however, it sucks that you can't get your own food. Part of the experience is grabbing what you see....
