I Tried Bellagio's $55 Brunch Buffet in Las Vegas... 🤔

[@TravelRuby]

Thoughts on Bellagio brunch buffet? Would you eat here?

[@peglegpeete9122]

I stopped eating the Bellagio buffet about 10 years ago. I felt that the quality and offerings [as many here have said], are not worth the $$ they want.

[@rufus102]

can't see a reason to go there over wicked spoon

[@edwinvonborstel3405]

Have been going there forever, I go to the bar and always tip very nicely

[@tmwwjd777]

Not for $55. For $55 I would want everything to be really good.

[@kelqueen9998]

Other than the desserts, nothing seemed all that special for the price. For the extra couple bucks, Wynn is far superior.

[@ThePjl110]

We've been going to this buffet since it opened in 1998 (we were there 2 months after Bellagio opened). They used to have breakfast set up with 2 omelet stations and breakfast dishes on either side of the buffet. However, in the last few years (esp after COVID) this once wonderful buffet has been taken down several notches by the MGM bean-counters. The room is unchanged since 1998...they had a golden opportunity while they were closed to revamp the space but chose not to. The food has taken a nosedive and this buffet is trying to slide by on its name. Such a shame...it was once the finest but that title now belongs to Wynn.

[@kimberleybedford5000]

For the money is not worth it for me

[@Thedancefamofficial]

Literally every single MGM buffet has gone to shit sadly. I guess still good they are open unline Caesars closed everything but the bacchanal

[@cathyisgrigg1813]

We were there last year and nothing in the buffet was good. Sad

[@irishinusa1615]

100% agree with you 👍 We were there for the opening off Bellagio. We now go to the Wynn ❤

[@WaileaGurl]

Not worth it

[@bighurt62]

Thanks for that review. We just ate there last week, on our yearly trip to Vegas, and you're right, not worth it at $55. But we had a 2 for 1 My Vegas reward that made it a very good value.

Ate there a few weeks ago and thought it was not as good as in December. Thankfully, we use My Vegas slots buy one, get one so it is doable money wise. If you get a burger etc anywhere, it'll cost you $20 plus for one so you might as well get a selection.

I stayed at the Bellagio when it first opened and it was amazing but am I running back - no. Thank you for doing all you do. It’s fun to watch!

It seems from watching many of Ruby's buffet reviews that Ruby has culinary training. She's so knowledgeable! They are my favorites! Thanks Ruby!!😊

[@ptolemyglenn79]

I would look at what she's eating more and make your own judgement. Usually she has been full of sh@t in her reviews

[@nanabutner]

I tried the Bellagio buffet pre-pandemic and as far as I and my entire family were concerned it was not worth price even then. From what you have shown I most definitely will NEVER be paying $55.00 for a brunch buffet!

[@jampar8]

Cool

[@acesbet]

Thank You for your honest opinion on the Buffet. I feel it was a $34.99 Buffet. I understand the price of food has gone through the roof. I would still pay the full price just for one time. I would explore other Buffets to find one that really made a difference in my selection.

[@JoeDeOliveira-uw3lr]

10 years ago it was super good the last 3 years really drop in quality and service. It’s just really hard to pass up with my Vegas rewards BOGO… overall good review thanks for all you and Mr Ruby do!

[@chrislaustin]

My wife has worked at the Bellagio for years, and we have gotten a few freebies over that time for best employee, good deed awards, etc. And while most of it was always decent, it was never anything I would have been happy to pay for. Most of it always seemed like they set up shop to get the tourist dollars that come through the doors, and not much else. But from what I have heard, fifteen to twenty years back, everything was much, much better.

[@failedathlete9642]

Best employee awards 😂😂😂

[@jameskelly9243]

[@Anthony-x5m6t]

I was there in May of 2022. I thought the buffet was nicely laid out but the quality was meh for the price. The made to order omelettes were the best thing there!

[@mom2kn]

I love the honesty you put in all your reviews. That is probably part of what makes you so popular. After your review this would be one to skip. I really hope you didn't get sick. Very cute dress today too, flatters you.

[@Texasishot105]

I love how she describes the food in great detail... texture, spice level, greasy, vanilla amount.... not just saying 'it's good or bad'. Thank you for being all about the details ❤👍💯

[@debdamiano]

I could never eat $55 worth of food that early in the day. It would take me hours.

[@mandojacks23]

Probably if you haven’t ate nothing for one whole day

[@edasner8959]

They are not selling the food merely offering food while you enjoy your seat in that space. You are paying for the space.

[@tracyenriquez2952]

Vegas buffets are not what they used to be. I've lived here since I've been 3 years old. Buffets were a fun thing and reasonably priced but now most of the casinos have taken out the buffets and the ones that are around are very expensive. Now we just go to buffets for special occasions like a birthday or mother's Day. They are so expensive it's like a treat rather than just going out and having fun anytime you want to. $55 is just too much money for breakfast. The hotels are greedy.

[@carlfromtheoc1788]

Close to a decade ago I did the lunch buffet there, and including an unlimited drink package (wine, beer, mimosas, margaritas, bloody marys) all in was $40. Enjoyed the buffet and enjoyed my 4 margaritas and 4 Bloody Mary's, meaning my per drink cast was $5 - WINNING!!

[@robertamaclaren7546]

My two favourites at the Bellagio Buffet are the grilled vegetables by the Carving Station and the made to order crepes (with whipped cream etc) by the Dessert Station.

[@kareninalabama]

You are, IMO, the BEST reviewer on social media. I think every other reviewer on social media needs to watch, listen, and learn from you and Mr. Ruby how to film and edit the perfect review. You get right to the point without needless chitchat or personal information that has little or nothing to do with the establishment or the review; you take small, manageable bites, and then give great descriptions and opinions of what you've tried, without rambling on and on. You also edit out and/or don't include the extra minute or two that it may take you to chew, so we're not left watching long, uncomfortable, silent pauses while you chew a huge bite of food. And to me, this next part is less about on-screen etiquette and just about having decent table manners in general, but you don't typically talk with your mouth full or while you are still chewing, you don't open your mouth while chewing, and you don't sit there with food all over your face while you're giving your critique. All of the things I've mentioned above are things I see SO many other YT reviewers do on a regular basis. I appreciate that I don't have to fast-forward through your videos like I do with just about everyone else, just to get past all the parts that should have been edited out. Thank you for being such a professional!

[@pookiekitten]

Ruby! Loving your outfit and hairstyle in this video - perfection! The buffet looks great - but I would use one of the My Vegas rewards, couldn't see myself paying full price. I'd rather use some of my dining dollars for that amount on a full service meal.

[@gradywilson9213]

Ruby I am not sure you will see this but I 'll try anyway. If you already know just bear with me. There is a wonderful record store in Las Vegas with two locations, one on Rainbow Blvd, the other on Flamingo & Eastern. They are the kind of places I grew up with as a young man ( I am almost70 ), but one rarely finds these days. The store is call Zia they have records, dvds, cds, books, music oriented T shirts, posters, video games, all sorts of nik naks. They buy from the general public so much of their stuff is vintage. I was there today Rainbow location closer to home, it occurred to me this could be a story for you to produce, outside of the normal hotel, restaurant, stuff. In fact there are other record places like that in town, nothing like Zia but perhaps you can do a project about these sort of things, a flash from the past. Just a thought. 😊

[@salvatorevegas]

Bellagio hands down for lunch and dinner always had the best pasta options so many to chose from. Best they had this ziti with sun dried tomatoes in a tomato cream sauce with salmon. Excellent. They use to have the calzones too like 5 kinds so good. The cornish hens too were really good with this sauce. My vegas comps would Have such good meals there sit at the bar inside was such a nice area personal service. right by the buffet tvs and everything. I miss #1 the monte carlos breakfast and brunch buffet. Was the best on the strip. So much the pick from everything was so good. the mexican breakfast station was my favorite. Huge breakfast burritos, breakfast quesadillas, tacos. They had the healthier option station too was so good. Spinach tomato mozzarella eggwhite scramble, turkey bacon, chicken sausage. The rest of the meats so good. One of the best steak and eggs ever you can have the ones they had out or they had cook to your liking. Such good desserts. Mid week with ur mlife discount was 17 bucks. How can you beat that? big choice of drinks the nicest staff from cashier to inside. tables always clean and cleared. Was clean inside nice decor and set up. I miss this place so much. Went last trip 2 months before they closed. I miss #2 the golden nuggets breakfast and brunch buffet. So good also very reasonable. Had the nicest Dining room and awesome view overlooking the pool complex. Nicest staff fast tables always cleared ur drink never not filled. The best steak n eggs. The best cheese blintzes and caramel apple ones. Best made to order omlette's. The meats so good. Lunch items too good choices. The subs the panini's, the pastas, the best orange chicken and potsticker's. The sushi was actually really decent the veggie and spicy california rolls were very good. The desserts were good but standout was the gelato station. I miss #3 sams towns breakfast buffet was so cheap and massive. Best sausage potatoes and so many kinds of egg choices. The meats so good. The best thing there lunch wise was the asian station. The thai wings, the bbq pork, the portugeuse sausage was awesome. The made to order burgers the sweets all excellent. Plus nicest staff nicest dining areas with the fireplaces. Nice bar with good drinks so cheap. back in the day flamingos brunch was the best but it kept going downhill every time. which was a shame was a nice place with the best view of the habitat I really miss these buffets.

55 bucks per person sounds pretty reasonable to me. My problem is that I simply cannot consume that much food at one time. So buffets are wasted on me

Travel Ruby, these breakfast buffets look pretty outstanding for someone that does not go to buffets much at all. I don’t know if I’d adventure to things like chicken fried steak or the gravy items yet from what I’ve seen in the past from buffets, these latest videos look good.

[@juliemuck6758]

We have the buffet every time we are in Vegas because we always stay at Bellagio. In December and February the buffet was very disappointing. Last month we had it on a Friday afternoon, and although it was much better, the price was crazy! $150 for 2. Thank goodness it was comped!

[@DylanLey]

Seems like a slightly better quality version of the other generic buffets that can be found in most of the Vegas casinos. For that price, just spend a little more on Bacchanal, Wynn, or Wicked spoon.

[@alexanderloper4742]

We always enjoy the Bellagio buffet. I can agree it used to be better, but if you have an appetite and consider the cost of eating on the strip it’s not that bad of a deal. Like others, we almost always have the 2 for 1. I was happy to see they brought back seafood night.

"they have egg whites if you want the healthier option". lol. I am nit picking here but eggs are a complete superfood. Whole eggs have all the nutrition (vitamins, amino acids) so it definitely is the 'healthier option'. Egg whites just have strictly protein. Dietary cholesterol doesn't matter in eggs' case. Anyways...there was a time when I would have balked at a $55 price tag but I go to an all you can eat sushi place fairly frequently and it is $34. I might pay extra for all the variety but not there based on your review. Thanks, Ruby!
