Dinner at The Buffet at The Wynn Hotel, Las Vegas, NV

We went to an early dinner at The Buffet at the Wynn, which we heard was one of the best buffets in Vegas. Also, all weekend they had a special Thanksgiving version of the buffet, which had a variety of meats and all the Thanksgiving classics. Overall the buffet was pretty good and we definitely ate too much. The price per person was $50.

Udon Noodles with XO Sauce, Crab and Asparagus
This was a surprisingly tasty dish. The noodles had a great chew that you usually don't see udon, which usually becomes very soft in soup.

Prime Rib (good but not great), Rack of Lamb (juicy and flavorful), Veal Shortribs (tender), Venison (not as good as expected), Pumpkin Gnocchi (starchy and flavorless), Mussels (got scared of eating mussels at a buffet, so didn't try them), Cheese Ravioli (good), Roasted Veggies (tasty) and BBQ Chicken Stromboli (better than it sounds)

Prime Rib (good but not great), Pizza (strangely no sauce, but the crust was thin and crunchy), Clams (ok), Cheese Ravioli with Mushroom Sauce (pretty good)

King Crab Legs (with seconds of stuff named above)
You really can't go wrong with endless crab dipped in chili sauce and drawn butter.

Corn Flan (gross), Clam Chowder (ok, but too much starchy), Udon Noodles with Crab (very tasty, as described above), and California Roll (standard)

Ramen
Pretty standard.

Homemade Coffee Ice Cream (very creamy and delicious), Key Lime Pie (tart and tasty), Chocolate Chip Cookie (too hard and dry), Chocolate Tart (too sweet), Fruit (standard)
