Bellagio’s buffet has reopened 7 am-3 pm (only) [Sun-Thurs $41..99 + tax, Fri-Sat $49.99].
The quality of the food is better than Caesars Palace’s buffet—and cheaper.
The lines are huge, long waits unless you are Pearl or higher in Mlife, even if you do have status somehow the regular line mixes in with the elite line

. I’m NOIR and used the exit lane and jumped the queue (this “trick”
maywork for other elites

).
On Tuesday, 9/7 at 11:15 am at least one seating area was just opening (hence extra long lines).
In general plan 45 minutes + to get in.
