Thanks for watching! ❤

I’d rather take my chances at the local 7/11
Probably not but I do enjoy your reviews. Thank you.
I'll never eat at a buffet again. Disgusting and germ infested.
Not after watching this.
I haven't been there since things opened back up, but it was my favorite buffet pre-CV. I'll probably give it a try this summer and see what I think.
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 ✌🏻
How much do they jack up the price at the Bellagio since you've been thereHow much do they jack up the price at the Bellagio since you've been there
When Bellagio closed in March of 2020 because of Covid the dinner was price was $44.99
How was it working in Vegas? I feel like moving and working there lol
I remember eating there many times before covid and indeed I can recognize many dishes... It wasn't cheap back then but now the price has become ridiculous.
It's most definitely not worth the price. Pricing screw jobs is just what they do these days!. And it will keep going up.
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!
When Ruby was afraid to try the oysters, we all knew it wasn’t worth $75.
Thats the first thing I thought.... LOOKS SCARY!
I 've heard that if you eat a not-so-fresh oyster,you will know it.🤷
Defrosted cheap oysters....what could go wrong?
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!
Buffets have become a scam. They have cheap food yet charge you $70 a plate. You can get better food for 1/4 the price at random places near the Linq
That's a given for buffets. If they are kept at a perfect temp, the food dries out because it sits out. N'est pas??
Let’s have a carrot. Get a little greens in our life. 😂
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.
Downhill and overpriced. That's Vegas nowadays.
Elections have consequences kids 👍🏾
@@maximusprimus827 Do you know that our inflation at 6% is nothing compared to Argentina at 100%? True. Look it up. The entire WORLD is facing inflation woes. So I would say our elections yielded the right result. Wouldn't you agree?
@@sandraleigh4023 lol what? Inflation rate in 2020 was only 1.23%. The year before that it was only 1.81%. I’m pretty sure YOU made the wrong choice. Thanks for destroying so many lives. Your country, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and Argentina thank you 🙏
As everything on Vegas nowadays...
Loved the review Ruby! $75 is way too high for that selection 🤯
$75 for two people is fine but for just 1 person is way too much even for a buffet
Yes I went to the restaurant in 2019 and was disappointed 😞😞
@@damondbigdog1891 Of the quality of the food or the price??
@@lilpenny1982 for the price I was expecting more variety. Most of the the stuff they had I would not have eaten if it were free. Example the seafood wasn't seasoned, just plain shrimp on ice.
@@damondbigdog1891 2019 is ancient history for Vegas prices. So expensive out there - $75 sound appealing
I stayed at the Bellagio a year ago and passed on that buffet. Found other good places that was great and not charging $75.
Do you remember where you went?
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.
No kidding . It Looks dry and Disgusting !
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.
You go downtown in las vegas? Thats where a lot of folks ftom Hawaii hang out
No lobster or crab legs?? Bellagio wtf is you doing
I remember when the RIO had the seafood buffet for $30 and i thought that was outrageous. $75??? Not a chance in hell.
Loved the seafood buffet at the Rio!
If you thought 30 dollars for the rio buffet was outrageous you're just cheap. That was an all time deal.
@@RogueStatusX in 1998 it was outrageous. Especially when i could go to Fitzgeralds and have a full prime rib dinner for about 12 bucks
@@RogueStatusX 30 dollars for seafood buffet especially if they had crabs is worth it in today's world. This guy probably wanted to eat all the crabs in the world for $5 😅
@@bobhanner3929 crabs and crab legs and oysters are worth a lot more than prime ribs in the desert.
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.
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.
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!!!!
My wait time, with 2 people going at 10:15 was 35 minutes to get seated.
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.
agree 100%
Or if everything is super fresh.🧑🌾
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.
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.
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.
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
No lobster or crab for $75. HARD pass.
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%
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! 🤣
My thoughts exactly.
exactly...
I don't like a lot of the food they believe is premium to up a price. Prime rib is not for me, oysters...no thank you.
I am one of those ones who are good at buffets. I'll eat like 6 or 7 plates. But I ain't touching a $75 buffet. There is no way that is worth it to the consumer. You'd have to eat hundreds of dollars' worth of food for it to be worth it.
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.
Yup
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. 😉👍🌴🌴🌴
Well……. Its Vegas pricing. A piece of steak is 75 - 100.
@@gykg3202 true enough…but it doesn’t make it right. Corporate greed will eventually kill the golden goose that created Vegas.
Vegas hotels are skimping to cut costs
@@gykg3202 so true. I’ll try this buffet at this price
@@charlesd7515 I recommend the Wynne tho!
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.
You give really good descriptive assessments. You really get a sense of why you like or don't like something.
Nice balanced review Ruby, Bellagio gonna have to up there game to compete win Wynn
Thank you for your honest review, you and Mr. Ruby keep it real!
Great review Ruby. Thanks for sharing🙂
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.
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.
So you'd pay & walk out, smart 😉
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.
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.
Thanks for the honest , as always review Ruby 👍
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.
I think that “6:00 PM and there was no line-up, we got seated right away” speaks volumes.
it was probably filmed early march - vegas is practically empty at that time.
Thanks for a great review; love watching you and Mr Ruby! ❣️
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.
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...
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! ❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Thanks for your review on the Bellagio buffet.Everything looks really good.💛
Enjoy your in depth honest reviews!🤙
Another GREAT review Ms. Ruby. I'm with you on this .... at $75 per, it should be a very good and consistent quality buffet.
75 bucks with today's inflation is next to nothing. The buffet is probably losing money as it. Thus why they are converting most of them into food halls now.
@@yeabuddy6070 if they’re loosing money at 75 bucks and with this selection of food, they need to go back to business school, seriously.
I agree. At $75 per person, it should not be like eating at Golden Corral
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!
Not to mention the food waste just kinda makes me squirm a little. Definitely rather go for a small amount of something exquisite than a trough of mediocre.
Thank you for that very honest straight forward review.
Your channel is great! Wonderful job as always!
Looks like a buffet you can get on Boulder Highway for $15-$20. ♥️🐺
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!
Thanks. Your footage convinced me to try this buffet.
Good video. Quite useful. Thanks.
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!
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 😎😎😎
Prime is me and my wife go to restaurant 😋
I ate at Prime once. It was nice. Spent over $600 for 2 without even trying. I want to try Bazaar Meats next time I’m in Vegas. That buffet looked terrible
Keep up the hard work! Very informative and great vid…
Travel Ruby is the best Reviewer on Earth!! Hands Down!!!!! Got to love Travel Ruby!!
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!
We were just there last week for the brunch buffet, which seems a lot better. I felt the same about the sushi.
Thanks for the review!
Thanks for the honest review👌
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.
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.
You’re a dessert expert ruby ! Thank you so much and wish to meet you in person ❤❤❤
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.
Love your buffet reviews !! I would Never pay that much though. I can't imagine what they could serve to make it worth that
anything on the strip near bellagio is going to cost money. a simple restaurant sit down is going to be $50 per person.
Beef Wellington,maybe lobster stuffed with crabmeat?
Why do you make all the dishes sound so appetising 🤤
I agree 100%
The girl knows her sh*t
I don't think she did I think she called an Ace and Ace and a spade a spade
Ruby is living the dream. Congrats.🥳
Thank you for your honest opinion.
Sounds like a fair review. Thanks Ruby!
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
Agree...6pm and no line says "Not worth $75!". Like my mom says "Don't blow what you can play with!"😉
@@Brandysky1 Mohegan Sun in Connecticut used to have a very nice buffet at night unfortunately it never reopened after covid
I’m going there on spring break and can’t wait!
I hereby second all of these comments, plus your great review. Thanks Ms. 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.
This place is the best thanks for sharing $$$
Great channel see you soon be safe and healthy 👍🏻👍🏻
Great vid!
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
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.
Great video! Thx.
I love your honesty Thank you
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.
Are there 2-for-1 deals at Wynn or Cosmo?
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 🙂
For $75 you do.
I did one time and the next thing I know police were there bc I asked for hot food but as of today I don't do buffets at all
They won’t do anything about it, unless demanded by management.
Sounds like a Karen thing to do.
Thank you for your ...services ms. Ruby....
Great video as usual. ❤
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.
Crumb!!! I am staying there soon and am hoping for a better than average casino adventure. Now you have me concerned. 😳
Totally agree. Went in late January for brunch and while good, I didn’t have any “Wow” moments, which for $75 I expect.
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
Awesome review Ms. Ruby
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.
what happened to the 8.99 buffets? 75 is absurd
Right? Vegas used to be the budget vacation! Not anymore!!!
The fountains are amazing dancing to music ⛲️
I stumbled on your channel accidentally while browsing on UA-cam. After watching this clip, I seem to like your style of video presentation. I will subscribe right away.
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!
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
Love this place the fountains are my fave
Love you Ruby, and the Mr.
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?
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!
Fellow Canadian here. Try Batista’s Hole in The Wall. Just off the strip behind the Flamingo.
@@BOOKKAT74 thanks so much! I'll write that down!
Wow, i love meal review 😍
THE FOOD LOOKS REALLY GOOD BUT IT'S TO PRICEY FOR ME. THANKS FOR SHARING, KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK RUBY😁👏🏽👏🏽
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?
Only self loathing miserable Karen’s would really care.
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. 😊🎰🍗🥗🥕
