one crunchy piece of (highly recommended) fried chicken and a small cup of soft-serve Dole Whip. Arriving at e Buffet at Wynn, it was crystal clear that the popularity of the all-you-can-eat concept is once again peaking. Reservations are highly recommended, as the Wynn Buffet seats 700 and does more than 3,000 covers a day. To serve that many hungry patrons, there are 16 food stations. A wise buffet guru once told me, "Before you put anything on your plate, research all your options." ose are words to live by, even as I immediately reached for the tongs to dig into the foot-and- a-half-tall pyramid of shrimp. I backed off and did the proper reconnaissance. Six different sushi rolls. ai chili chicken wings. Chicken potstickers. Free-range egg omelets. Croque Monsieur. Sausage & bacon stromboli. Main lobster eggs benedict. Truffle mushroom pizza. Crepes made to order. And so much more. Afterward, I had a small cup of coffee gelato to settle my stomach. ere's no other big buffet in town that can match the charm and Old World glamour of Genting Palace in Resorts World Las Vegas. e buffet is smaller, made up primarily of traditional Cantonese seafood, along with a few pork dishes. Displayed neatly next to the shrimp are oysters, mussels, and crab legs. I can't get enough crab meat dumplings with chives, dim sum, and pork- stuffed shumai. I was elated when my waiter told me there was a quasi-omakase- style option. Doused with dry ice that gave the plate an ethereal cloud effect, I made quick work of lobster and shrimp sashimi. As a parting gift, a Genting Place hostess bowed and gave me a sesame rice dessert ball. I ate it on the taxi ride back to Palms, and concluded it's a wonderful thing that buffets have rebounded from the brink.
