content: This was the second of two buffets we visited while in Vegas (the first being Wicked Spoon).  Of the two, this was far more hyped up, but that only led to a bigger let down.  \n\nThere isn't a whole lot to say about the environment here: it's beige, really abundantly lit up, and loud.  If you need an idea of who you'll be eating with, just comb the line before you head in, or people watch as you wait well over 30 minutes in some cases to get a table.  Oh, and expect plenty of families.  \n\nThe service was solid, albeit busy.  I don't remember our servers name because she never physically stopped moving as she said it.  She was either dropping of drinks, checking up on us as she walked by, or grabbing plates off the table when the busing staff was busy else where.  She certainly smiled the whole time though.\n\nI was trying to put together a list of highlights and misses like my other buffet review, but to tell you the truth, a lot of the food here was a let down.  I really don't remember much of it.  I did like the first cut of lamb I had, but when I went back for another serving it seemed like they had prepped it completely different and all the flavors I liked the first time around were completely missing.  The sushi was abysmal.  The rice was dry and had a styrofoam taste to it.  The ribs were pretty good, but no one seemed to be stationed to cut them, so I had to make two trips before I could try them.  There were two things that stood out now that I'm concentrating on our meal: the strawberry and cream desert shooter, and the salmon poke.  The poke had a great fresh taste to it, and a really nice and subtle heat that reared its face after a couple bites.  The desert shooter was also really refreshing, light, and had a great tang to it from the slightly sour strawberry.\n\nAll in all, I don't think I'll be coming back to the Bellagio for their buffet.  It really shows it's age, both in the food and in its looks.  Plus, the wait was pretty awful, and we stepped up to the line as it ended at the restroom entrance.  By the time we left, it had wrapped itself even further down the casino, easily another thirty to forty people deep.
