In terms of food choices
- Nicely presented in the individual ramakins and stainless steel plates
- Quality is absolute shit. Crab legs were so thin and tasteless.
- They had some unique things like truffle fries, truffle scallop potatoes, fried pork tails, beef ribs, crab and heirloom tomato salad, bone marrow but all these items were pretty crappy.
- What's worst was halfway through the Buffet at 8 3/4 of the chefs disappeared from the stations so alot of food ran out and when they got back they were rushing to make it(very poor quality) I circled the buffet 3 times and only loaded up on truffle fries......
- The desserts were good but again they ran out of alot of stuff
Overall after reading all the reviews on Yelp, Urbanspoon I really dunno what the hype was about. I've seen consistent 4.5 to 4.75/ 5 reviews. But I would give it a very disappointment 1/5 and WOULD NOT RETURN.
Go to the better buffets like Wynn & Bellagio

I also saw all the glowing reviews of WS at Cosmo, one tip that caught my eye was to go at LUNCH. It's a much better deal.
I went there for brunch/lunch on Sunday back in June. We got there pretty late and they said the lunch buffet was closing soon but we waited anyway, the lineup was like 45m-1h long.
The price for lunch buffet was only $22, plus one free glass of Mimosa or Mojito. Most restaurants will charge anywhere between $7-$10 for a cocktail so technically you are getting into the buffet for $15.
The quality of the food was quite good, they had delicious soft-poached egg bennies and I like how they use many small plates to present the food rather than 1 big tray of slop. The prawn cocktails were a bit dry. Service was excellent.
The black guy making the omelette was freakin' hilarious he was putting on his own little comedy cooking show for the waiting crowd.
Earl of Sandwich was delicious hangover food.
Carnegie Deli for the most monstrous pastrami sandwich I've ever seen.
Prime Steakhouse in Bellagio was awesome, must-try is the Truffle Mashed Potatoes and their Vodka Martini was topnotch, (pick the Russian vodka on their menu, I can't remember the name off the top of my head right now), also ask for the patio so you get a front row seat to the famous Bellagio watershow while enjoying your meal, but don't sit too close to the railing as you will get the overspray from the fountains onto your steak lol ...
