I actually don't like the Spice Market at PH - it's never appealed to me as anything better than a standard run of the mill Vegas buffet and was pretty lame during my last visit in October.
Bellagio is a big disappointment these days since going corporate. Wynn knows how to do things right - MGM-Mirage knows how to do things by the bottom line. My last visit included ice-crusted, semi-frozen shrimp and crabs legs. I was not impressed.
I love the Wynn - I can enjoy the best crabs legs in Vegas (King, not Queen legs), huge shrimp and some very interesting dishes. Although I concur Bellagio does serve a few innovative items of its own, the overall experience doesn't compare to Wynn anymore.
Todai is really hit and miss - some of them are pretty decent, while others are a night of barfing just waiting to happen. When in So Cal, the O'Nami restaurants at West Covina Mall and San Diego make even the best Todai pale in comparison.
