We were disappointed with the Aria buffet

The price is higher but there are not many selections. We made the mistake of entering at Sunday dinner and the price is 41.99! No kidding! We only ate there because my room offer included resort credit. I much prefer the buffet at Bellagio.

I agree, Bellagios is much better.

Aria has slipped way back and Mirage has followed. However most buffets have increased prices while down grading quality. Shrimp size much smaller--crab legs if they get any smaller they should take them off display. Las Vegas is one of the few places that can offer less and charge more including resort fees--quality of food--rental car fees---the list goes on and on. Will be interesting to see results when they start charging for parking at MGM properties.

i went to its b'fast buffet in december and was disappointed, based on the price. still prefer bellagio's b'fast buffet

I feel the opposite.
Tried Aria lunch buffet a couple years ago & thought, it was fine. Did breakfast this time & was very impressed. Great ambiance with windows out to pool.
Tried Bellagio breakfast buffet a couple years ago & thought the selection was high quality. Then last year, I thought, yeah, food is pretty good but ambiance SUCKS--dark, very cafeteria-like.
I usually stick with breakfast as that is pretty tough to screw up (tho PH sure did) so I am almost always pleased; plus a bit cheaper. We usually come in about 10:45 so we can take advantage of lunch fare coming out as well.
