Comps are most valuable when they pay for something that you already want. One of the things that I now get comped, but I used to spend money on anyhow is the breakfast buffet at the Wynn. You can visit my article on comps for information.
The first time I ever went to the breakfast buffet was by chance. My husband and I just decided to try it a couple of years ago. It was 10:45 am on a Saturday. We were amazed at the quality of the food. I have been to many buffets in Las Vegas, including the celebrated Spice Market buffet at the Aladdin (now Planet Hollywood). The Wynn’s breakfast buffet kicks it’s butt. The smoked salmon was very fresh, the fruit was excellent quality and delicious. I even love their prunes! And I am not a prune eater. I’m only 30! You can get fresh made-to-order omelets, various quiches, many varieties of Eggs Benedict, and even Asian and Mexican influenced dishes. There is fresh sushi, various great breads, and numerous fancy desserts. There are even a fair number of sugar free desserts. This is actually one buffet that I can eat at and not feel awful when I leave. You know what I mean, when you feel like you’ve eaten a deep fried tire. The coolest thing about that first visit, was that since we arrived at 10:45, we actually made an entire pass through the buffet as it was serving breakfast, yet at 11:00, lunch items began coming out. It essentially made our choices twice as big. Since that visit, we have been back numerous times.
Occasionally, the line is so long at the buffet, that we decide not to wait, and we walk across and down the hall to the Terrace Pointe Café. The food here is exquisite also, honestly I think everything at the Wynn is awesome. My husband likes to get the fresh squeezed carrot juice, which is a pleasant treat, even if you don’t like carrots, like me. We also really like the fresh fruit with Crème fraiche, which we usually split. The homemade corned beef hash is also very good, as is the smoked salmon plate complete with salmon roe and sliced giant capers. Even their coffee is great. It’s nice and strong with a good flavor. And believe me, I am hard to please when it comes to coffee. We often end up spending more money here, usually about $60, but we have never been disappointed.
