I worked at Bellagio for 20 years and left when Covid hit. In all the years I worked there all that food still looks the exact same!! There’s no way that buffet is or ever should be $75!! Thanks for the video, Ruby ✌🏻

I love your honest review. It seems like when most reviewers go to Vegas, they tend to lead you to believe everything is so Big and wonderful, and tend to sell the city, instead of being completely honest. You are plain refreshing!

Thank you for such an honest review! Other vloggers "love" everything. I've eaten at enough buffets to know not everything is good and most foods are not hot enough!

When Ruby was afraid to try the oysters, we all knew it wasn’t worth $75.

Hi Ruby. Great review. I was surprised the way the food was presented...in big serving dishes, not in warming trays. Lukewarm food doesn't work for me...especially for $75.

Hey Ruby, I live in Hawaii and we generally go by this rule of thumb with seafood. Fridays fish is fridays fish. Meaning it was caught on Friday and served on Friday. Saturdays fish is Fridays fish and sundays fish is Fridays fish. So, you were wise not to eat the oysters.

This used to be an awesome buffet back in the early 2000s. $29 weekdays and $39 on weekends which included seafood like the Alaskan King Crabs. Sad to hear its gone way downhill and overpriced. Thanks for the review.

So happy for a real review!!! Too many will still recommend a buffet, almost like they’re hoping for sponsorship. Thank you so much for the honest review!!! And honestly, without crab legs even being on the menu they shouldn’t be charging more than $50. Wicked spoon is cheaper and has crab legs for the lunch portion of their buffet and their choices are fantastic all around!!!!

Loved the review Ruby! $75 is way too high for that selection 🤯

I remember when the RIO had the seafood buffet for $30 and i thought that was outrageous. $75??? Not a chance in hell.

I stayed at the Bellagio a year ago and passed on that buffet. Found other good places that was great and not charging $75.

I was there with a friend last weekend on Saturday night and after going there for over 10 years once or twice a year I don't think I'll be going back. It was just not good. We also went to the Wynn Buffet on Sunday night within an hour of their advertised closing time, everything was fresh and hot and also a million times better tasting than the food we had the night before at the Bellagio. They also had more to offer, plenty of crab legs and desserts were much better for lower price than Bellagio. Just go to Wynn if you want to enjoy one of the best buffets in Las Vegas.

We went at the Bellagio for the lunch buffet earlier this week and it had approximately the same things that you showed in your review. We had a 2 for 1 with MGM rewards so it wasn't bad but like you said in your review, some things could be better (variety and temperature). It didn't always looked fresh. Really enjoyed the pork belly and ribs too. I like an honest review. We also hit Best Friends at Park and it was amazing. Finished our trip at Prime Steakhouse and it was amazing.

Great job with describing all the food. I think you nailed it and I feel like your talking points were excellent. I trust your opinion 100%

No lobster or crab legs?? Bellagio wtf is you doing

A $75 dinner buffet has to wow me with pretty much everything it's offering, especially now that decent buffets for $20-30 are a thing of the past. I recently heard quite a few people saying that the especially the buffet at Bellagio went downhill. Looks to me like they overstepped in trying to find out what guests are willing to tolerate and shell out after Covid. I hope this will be a general learning process within the Las Vegas industry that leads us to a healthy and happy middle.

Let’s have a carrot. Get a little greens in our life. 😂

I remember eating at that buffet sometime in the 90s. There were people eating plate after plate of crab legs and nothing else. I saw one woman clean out the dessert bar of every last creme bruelee. There were almost too many choices. It was a whole lot cheaper, maybe 25 bucks. I'd love to go back someday.

Geez, I remember when their $25 buffets were considered expensive. Las Vegas used to be about $2 buffets! No buffet is worth $75, unless it's caviar and edible gold.

Some hots, some misses. But for $75 a plate everything on the menu should be a home run. Thanks for your honest review of the buffet. Looking forward to your next video.

This doesn’t hold a candle to the Wynn buffet, and it’s more expensive! (And no crab or lobster????) The Asian section looked terrible.

No lobster or crab for $75. HARD pass.

Thank you for your closing honesty…I was thinking, during your review, there was no way this qualifies as a $75 buffet experience. Should be more upscale type offerings, especially the seafood station. 😉👍🌴🌴🌴

Thanks for the review! I've done the Bellagio buffet before (pre-COVID) and it was just ok. I don't really think I get my money's worth at buffets in general, because I can't eat that much food at one sitting! 🤣

I really appreciate your often criticism and blunt reviews in this video. I am an avid you tube food review watcher and other than Timmy's Takeout everyone sugarcoats. Thank for your honesty and I hope you lean more to food restaurant reviews. I will be watching you more as a result of this video.

I haven't been to vegas for decades, then there were entire rooms of buffets for 6.99 if not less and if you went downtown they wanted to keep you in the casino so along with the free drinks they would give out huge shrimp cocktails with delicious sauce. Fun times

We had lunch there 3 weeks ago, and it was excellent. We are about midday, so maybe we were just lucky, but all the food was hot/warm. The Belly pork with the mash potato was delicious, and the deserts and gelato were amazing.

If I am paying $75, I'm not eating carrots and ribs and Mac& cheese, and taco's. I would pass on this buffet definitely.

You give really good descriptive assessments. You really get a sense of why you like or don't like something.

Paying $75 a pop for that buffet is criminal! I stayed at Bellagio last year for my birthday and dined at Spago with a ladyfriend.Service was awesome,food delicious. I had a schnitzel, and my date salmon,drinks and dessert, with tax and tip came to $180,and totally worth it. Cheesy buffets that are hit or miss for ridiculous prices is just not worth it.Splurge and dine at a real restaurant is my tip if you come to Vegas!

Another GREAT review Ms. Ruby. I'm with you on this .... at $75 per, it should be a very good and consistent quality buffet.

We were at the Wynn Buffett last February. It was good, but for someone who has always enjoyed (to much) buffets I think that we would be better off going to an additional night while in Vegas at a high end restaurant. Buffets we can save for a cruise if we so choose.

Nice balanced review Ruby, Bellagio gonna have to up there game to compete win Wynn

Hey Ruby . I thought most of the dishes looked great . Not being hot is a draw back. Buffet sushi is never really that good. I usually skip the buffets anyway . Would rather put the $75 towards dinner at Lago or Prime if I’m at Bellagio 😎😎😎

Thanks for the report. Will try for the first time, the Wicked Spoon at the Cosmo in 6 weeks. This buffet definitely looks to NOT be worth it.

Thank you for your honest review, you and Mr. Ruby keep it real!

Great review! I must say though, I can understand why the food would have a low-spice threshold because (at a buffet) it should really be "by request". It is an easier thing to add to then to take away from, and at that price I wouldn't want to be wasting more food because it was too spicy for most eaters.

Great review Ruby. Thanks for sharing🙂

Thanks for your review on the Bellagio buffet.Everything looks really good.💛

Whoa, I think that's the only time I've spotted oysters on the half shell on a current Las Vegas buffet! Unlimited oysters plus the carving station alone meets my bar for "high value." Assuming Ruby ate the oyster and is still with us, anyway...

I think that “6:00 PM and there was no line-up, we got seated right away” speaks volumes.

Thanks for this video...I've been to Bacchanal, ARIA (when it was open), Wynn, Wicked Spoon, etc. - the Bellagio was the last "high-end" buffet I haven't tried...after checking this out, I think I'll keep it that way. I did see your A.Y.C.E. review, and that looked a lot more promising, and almost half the price. And definitely doing brunch at the Wicked Spoon again in July. Thanks again! Love your channel.

I ate there for breakfast last week and it was pretty good. Like 8/10. I liked the prime rib. I would recommend Caesar’s any day!

Love your buffet reviews !! I would Never pay that much though. I can't imagine what they could serve to make it worth that

Thanks for the honest , as always review Ruby 👍

Travel Ruby is the best Reviewer on Earth!! Hands Down!!!!! Got to love Travel Ruby!!

Why do you make all the dishes sound so appetising 🤤

Even though that buffet is tempting…..I could never eat or break even spending $75. Rather just order a good steak or lobster tails. Great video! Very informative! ❤❤❤❤❤❤.

Another down-to-earth informative review I would not waste my money at that buffet a lot of these Vegas buffets think they can charge whatever they want and have substandard offerings. The key was no lines I assume if you go there once you don't go back

I'm really impressed! you just made something that's so hard to do look easy. I feel like I've gone there which is the point. Great job here with the entire production.

Ruby, have you ever been to the patisserie with the chocolate fountain in the Bellagio? It has the BEST chocolate mousse I’ve ever had in my life!

I whole heartily agree with your review. We haven't been to the Bellagio buffet in over 3 years for all the reasons you have listed. We had used 2 for 1 - "My Vegas" deal, thinking that's why it wasn't all that good, but 3 years later it still seems to be a disappointment. Wynn and Cosmopolitan are still my favourite.

You are excellent at these reviews. Made me hungry. $75 plus a tip. Wow. I will go when it’s a comp. Haha. I think I’d rather hit a steakhouse with a nice wine at that price. No crab claws too. The shrimp looked slimy. That’s too bad.

Long time Bellagio buffet fan going back the $15 breakfast and $20 lunch days, but frankly the pandemic broke them. The food you showed is no different then what they used to charge $40 for. Went in 2021 and it was very disappointing. Went to the Wynn a couple weeks ago and they killed it at a lower price point.

Looks like a buffet you can get on Boulder Highway for $15-$20. ♥️🐺

Sounds like a fair review. Thanks Ruby!

$75 bucks?? I would rather have a good Rib Eye steak at a nice sit down dining room. :) Great honest review. Not a fan of lukewarm or semi-cold food that should be hot! Maybe the heating elements were not keeping the food at the correct temp.

Thank you! I've been dreaming of the Bellagio mashed potatoes since a friend told me (twenty years ago!) I must get them if I ever go to their buffet! I felt so happy when I saw you choose them! To me, the cauliflower looked outstanding and a must try! I'm not super into meat though so aside from those two items and the desserts, this buffet did not show me much, especially for the price. I would want a buffet that has great peel 'em and eat 'em prawns and crab and appetizers and fruit. I wonder if this one is any better for brunch? I must say, so far, from the ones I've watched of yours, the Wicked Spoon looked the best. I'm a new subscriber, really enjoying your content! You describe things incredibly well.

Why would anyone want to pay $75 for a buffet choice and quality they can get at a $30 buffet??

what happened to the 8.99 buffets? 75 is absurd

We were just there last week for the brunch buffet, which seems a lot better. I felt the same about the sushi.

!. Food not to proper temperature. 2. Not enough variety 3. Poor value for the money. You are EXACTLY CORRECT ON EVERYTHING! Very well done.

Geesh, at $50 I'd feel disappointed at this buffet. For $75 I'd expect crab legs and/or lobster. Thanks for review. Don't need to worry about Bellagio Buffet.

When you go to a buffet and the food is not hot enough do you ever go tell them behind the stations that the food isnt hot enough or do you just let it be? Personally I always tell them so they can check it and replace it quick 🙂

I've done the Bellagio Breakfast buffet a few times, and it was nothing special, but it was free both times, so I couldn't complain much. Sadly this hotel used to be considered 5 stars, and in recent times, it's about 2.5 at best, but they still charge the 5 star rates. The Bellagio is for sure still living off it's name of 15 to 20 years ago, but most things specific to the hotel are not what they used to be.

Enjoy your in depth honest reviews!🤙

There’s a reason you didn’t have to wait in line. The other buffets in town like Caesar’s, wicked spoon, and the Wynn passed up the Bellagio a long time ago. When you go to those other places they’re always changing things up with non-traditional stuff, while the Bellagio has just stuck with the same old buffet stuff the last 25 years. It’s boring

Hi ruby! Love your videos. I have a question can you do an updated review for the Wynn buffet. (To be honest can you do updates on all the buffets) plan on going to Vegas this summer!

Wow even I was disappointed at what they had to offer. The desserts looked the best to me. I can't pay $75 for desserts though lol

We hit the $49 cereal and melon bar at the Bellagio. I’d recommend their Fruit Loops and honeydew but the Raisin Bran and pop tarts were too stale.

Loved this review... I had the same exact thoughts. For 75$...Definitely not!!! Maybe thats why no line... Not even worth 50$.. Loved this review because it was so honest. Bate reviews where everything's soooo good.... 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the review. I agree with you. $75 is a lot of money for that quality/variety of buffet. I would not dine there at that price. It would be more appealing if it's under $50. Inflation is out of control!

Ruby if you said this was the new “ Circus Circus “ Twentynine 99 Buffet I would have Believed you , but Bellagio, it’s a Disgrace , but Hey it’s MGM and their cost cutting crew , am I Shocked ? No , would I pay that money for that disgraceful Buffet no way !

The Wynn and Cosmo (Wicked Spoon) are my favs. The Bacchanal is probably the "best" buffet, but I don't think it's worth the trouble or the price. I think the Bellagio buffet is overpriced.

Thanks for a great review; love watching you and Mr Ruby! ❣️

My husband and I went there in October, we were very excited to try the famous Bellagio’s buffet but honestly we felt disappointed. There wasn’t a lot to choose and for the price it’s not worthed, we enjoyed much the Wynn’s

I was there in February of 2023 and was also very disappointed with the quality of the food. Just like your review, many of my items were either cold or luke-warm. Back a few years ago this was my always go-to buffet and the quality has gone way down. There are only two buffets that I will have for dinner now, Wynn is usually always a great choice. Bacchnal at Caesars is a good choice for dinner if you get there just around 5:30 to 6:00 so you can get the fresh items, although it is now ridiculously expensive

My wife and I honeymooned at Bellagio in 2000 and I remember we paid $27 each for dinner buffet and this included huge mounds of king crab legs (on ice and we prefer hot crab, but even still). To not have any crab, or lobster, for $75 is a complete FAIL. Sure, 23 years has gone by but almost triple the price? Nope. That's really bad. I wouldn't even pay 1/2 for what they are offering, although I do like me some beef ribs.

Most of that really did look like mall food . Better buffet at our Pub for Christmas. Those little prawns and the oysters did actually look dodgy 👀

So in Canadian dollars this would be over $100. The answer is no way lol The meat alone in the taco and the basic food items anyone could make themselves. Also I feel that buffets are just an excuse to gorge oneself to get your money's worth. I'm so glad you do these reviews as we are going to Vegas in Sept and I'm starting to keep notes! You rock!

The challenge finding enough help even in a totally unionized food service market like LV is apparent . Bellagio has to have the equipment in place to do it right - fabulous reviews pre pandemic . Can they get it right?

For $75 there needs to be crab legs. They used to have pre sliced crab legs. Did I miss that in the video?

75.00 in these economic times is too damn much as a local I'll spend money at a good local eatery.😎🍻

Quail and Pork Belly are expensive, so overall; the price is fair to me! Also, a lot of people eat a lot of meat at buffets and eat large portions. I’m a small eater so I rarely go to a buffet unless it’s comped by the casino. 😊🎰🍗🥗🥕

Could you imagine paying $75 to sit in a cafeteria and the table next to yours has a camera set up with a non-stop commentary, describing what they are eating?

I am a Las Vegas local. This buffet makes you get your own cups & drinks at the drink fountain. So why should anyone tip the server? For doing their job by simply collecting the used plates? I’ll gladly tip a server well, if they do their job. This is definitely one over priced buffet in town. The food is okay, but too expensive for how average the quality was. There are cheaper and better buffets in town. 👍🏾🇺🇸

Thank u ruby for being honest,these high priced buffets should be a 5, I'm old enough to remember great buffets at Vegas but long before u were born, so bad now for the price, wish u youngsters knew what it was like at one time, Vegas gone downhill

I don't like the Bellagio Buffet. It beats a peanut butter sandwich in your hotel room but many other Buffets are better and offer a more enjoyable experience. Bellagio Buffet is very expensive and so roaring LOUD!!!!!!!!!! Like a day at the science museum when there are 15 bus loads of children there screaming and talking. It is miserable. The food quality is great but there is more to the equation of an enjoyable meal. My all time favorite is Mandalay Bay. Both the food and ambiance are a pleasure. You feel like you are at a premium restaurant with carpet and room between tables instead of being like a food court at the mall. Bellagio should look at ways to make their buffet ambience better to absorb the noise. All that tile echoes and reverberates the noise.

Last time I ate here for brunch and the Wynn and Excalibur buffets. I didn't have any issues temperature wise when I went to the Bellagio but I'm in agreement about the variety for the price point. I'm gonna go the extra mile for the Bacchanal next time.

wow $75 for buffet slop! I will skip Vegas this year. Prices are insane.

$75 for a high quality buffet would be a fcking deal 😅 Cheers from San Diego California

My opinion is that buffet Is way overpriced

It was kind of hard to find what they were "famous" for. I guess they have quail? Everything else was the normal Buffet faire. Thanks for the review. I would think you could get a meal someplace in the area for $80.00 each

I find the buffets so expensive in Las Vegas. I don't bother going to them. For what you got for $75.00 per person is hiway robbery.

I'm so glad I saw this. How in the world do they think this is worth $75? Pizza? Tacos? Fried Rice? Pasta? Fried, from frozen, egg roll?! What a joke.

WYNN is by far the best buffet in Vegas ! Especially on gourmet nights. And when we want Sushi we always go to Makino Japanese Buffet we hit it all the time. Also that is not worth $75 bucks

Good review! There is no way I would ever pay $75 for ANY buffet. I don't eat that much at one sitting. Also, I am very picky about the temp of my food and it looks like I would have been very disappointed

Thank you for your honest opinion.

Wow even by NYC standards that price is outrageous for the quality of the food
