Wynn Buffet Brunch Review: Menu, Prices & Is This $60 Las Vegas Buffet Worth It?

The The Buffet at Wynn Las Vegas is often considered one of the best buffets in Las Vegas, especially for brunch. Known for its upscale offerings, from seafood and sushi to carved meats, a charcuterie station, and an extensive dessert bar, it promises a luxury buffet experience at a premium price.

We visited the Wynn Buffet for brunch to see if it truly lives up to the hype and whether it’s actually worth your wallet. We booked pre-paid priority seating about a day in advance, which allows you to secure a place in line without waiting at the podium. Even with priority seating, there was still about a 30-minute wait. All in, we paid $130 total for two adults, or roughly $65 per person, including priority seating. In this review, we’ll break down the brunch menu, pricing, drink options, time limits, and whether the Wynn Buffet is worth the cost.

Our Experience at the Wynn Buffet (Brunch Review)

We visited The Buffet at Wynn Las Vegas for brunch to see if it lives up to its reputation, and its $60+ price tag. We pre-booked priority seating for an 8:15 AM Sunday time slot. There’s a 15-minute grace period, and arriving slightly late actually worked in our favor. There was no line for either priority or standard entry, and we were seated immediately. If you want to avoid long waits, early morning brunch is a smart move.

Seating, Service & Drink Options

Even though this is a buffet, guests are seated at a table and assigned a server. Servers don’t bring food, but they handle drinks and refills, which made the experience feel more polished than a typical buffet.

Included with the buffet price are:

• Regular coffee

• Tea

• Milk

• Juice

• Soft drinks

For an additional $32.99 per person, you can add a bottomless drink package that includes select cocktails, mimosas, wine, and beer. We chose not to upgrade, between the buffet price and our plans for the day, nearly $100 per person for brunch didn’t feel worth it for us.

Our server was friendly and attentive, consistently refilling drinks even while we were away from the table. We were also informed of the two-hour time limit, which was more than enough time given the crowd level.

First Impressions of the Buffet Selection

Before grabbing any food, we did a full walk-through of the buffet. The selection was extensive and leaned heavily toward savory and lunch-style items, even during brunch hours.

Highlights included:

• Seafood (shrimp, sashimi, sushi)

• Asian dishes (dumplings, ramen, stir-fries, fried rice)

• Breakfast meats (bacon, sausage)

• Carved meats (including wagyu beef)

• Mexican dishes (tacos, elote salad, salsas)

• Charcuterie station

• Yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit

• A large dessert section with cakes, pastries, ice cream, and gelato

What We Enjoyed at the Wynn Buffet

Despite the issues we encountered later, there were several items we genuinely enjoyed and would happily eat again.

• Steak and eggs – This was one of the most consistent items we tried. The steak was cooked properly, tender, and well-seasoned, and it paired nicely with the eggs. It felt like a solid, reliable brunch option rather than an afterthought.

• Mashed potatoes – Creamy, smooth, and well-seasoned with an herb-forward flavor. They complemented the meat station well and tasted freshly prepared rather than reheated.

• Cinnamon roll – Carved from a massive rotating pastry display, this was warm, soft, and packed with cinnamon flavor. It leaned indulgent but didn’t taste overly artificial.

• Fresh fruit – The fruit station stood out for quality. Everything we tried tasted ripe and fresh, and staff were constantly refilling trays, which kept it looking clean and appetizing.

• Crepe station – A standout feature of the brunch buffet. Crepes were made to order by a staff member, with plenty of topping options. Elijah’s banana foster crepe struck a nice balance between sweet and savory and felt thoughtfully prepared rather than rushed.

These items helped balance out the savory-heavy buffet and gave the brunch experience some much-needed breakfast identity.

Steak & Eggs, Cinnamon Roll, and Desserts

What We Didn’t Enjoy (and Why It Mattered)

Unfortunately, several quality and food-safety concerns significantly impacted our experience and ultimately led us to leave early.

• Sushi – Elijah bit into a hard piece that was immediately concerning. Moments later, we noticed staff pulling the entire sushi batch from the buffet. While we appreciated the quick response, it raised red flags about consistency and oversight.

• Elote salad – This was the most serious issue. As Elijah went to serve himself, we watched a bug crawl out of the dish. That alone was enough to completely end our appetite and confidence in the buffet.

• Wagyu beef – One of the Wynn Buffet’s biggest selling points, but also one of its biggest disappointments for us. The cuts were wildly inconsistent, including pieces that were mostly shredded fat rather than clean slices of meat. The beef lacked depth of flavor and didn’t have the tenderness we associate with true wagyu, especially compared to wagyu we’ve had at other Las Vegas restaurants.

• Desserts – While visually impressive, many desserts tasted very similar, with an overly artificial sweetness. Textures suggested they had been refrigerated and possibly reheated, which made them feel less fresh. Given how prominent the dessert section is, this was a letdown.

Individually, some of these issues might have been forgivable, but combined, they overshadowed the positives and made it hard to justify the price.

What Felt Missing for a Brunch Buffet

For a brunch-focused buffet, the breakfast selection felt limited. There were:

• No hash browns or breakfast potatoes

• A relatively small egg and breakfast meat section

Much of the buffet leaned toward lunch foods like soups, pizza, and noodles. While variety isn’t a bad thing, we would have preferred more traditional breakfast options, especially during early brunch hours.

All the assortments!

Leaving Early & Final Service Notes

After the food issues, we decided to leave early. Since we had pre-paid, our server dropped off a receipt but didn’t return. There was no clear gratuity line or pen, and we couldn’t confirm whether a tip had already been included. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to track him down before leaving, which left us feeling uncomfortable about the situation.

Final Verdict: Is the Wynn Buffet Brunch Worth It?

Overall, we were not impressed with The Buffet at Wynn. We had two genuinely unpleasant experiences, watching a bug crawl out of the elote salad and biting into hard sushi that was immediately pulled from the line, both of which ultimately led us to leave before our two-hour time limit was up.

The food itself was hit or miss. A few items stood out in a good way, like the pre-portioned steak and eggs and the oversized cinnamon roll, but those positives were outweighed by major inconsistencies elsewhere. The meat station was especially disappointing: one of us would receive a passable slice, while the other ended up with shredded fat. Desserts were another letdown, overly sweet, artificial-tasting, and largely indistinguishable from one another.

Service was mixed. Our server was attentive with refills early on, but later became difficult to track down. Drinks were occasionally mixed up, and when it came time to leave, we couldn’t even confirm whether gratuity had been included, adding unnecessary confusion to an already underwhelming experience.

Would we come back and pay $65 per person for brunch at the Wynn Buffet again? No. The price is simply too steep for the food quality we experienced. Between questionable freshness, inconsistent execution, and dessert that felt mass-produced, it just wasn’t worth it.
