Bellagio Buffet, Las Vegas - The array of food here is fabulous, with one ethnic cuisine after another (Japanese, Chinese Mexican items, and so on). There are elaborate pastas and semi traditional Italian-style pizza from a wood-fired oven. The cold fish appetizers at each end of the line are not to be missed -- scallops, smoked salmon, crab claws, shrimp, oysters, and assorted condiments. Other specialties include breast of duck and game hens. There is no carving station, but you can get the meat precarved.
