The Buffet Bellagio

There is almost nothing you can choose from that buffet that is designated GF. I was assured before I sat down that there was much to choose from, but this was not the case. I could have an omelette, and they provided gluten free toast. There was one muffin and some fruit. That’s it. I was very, very disappointed. Go elsewhere. This is the first time I actually cried because of my allergy at this location because I felt so lied to.

While I'm sure the food is good, I ate very little. The reason is that I have Celiac Disease. Other buffets (Wicked Spoon for example) list what allergens (wheat, peanut, soy, dairy) are in the food item. Bellagio's buffet does not to any extent.

Not discussing the obvious no-nos of breads, pasta, cookie, etc. I'm talking about food in general. I wanted to have some chicken but had to ask if it was gluten free. Realistically it should be GF but they put soy sauce on it and that has gluten. So for the cost of close to $50, I could eat eggs, hash browns, fruit, salad and the shrimp. Otherwise, I had to ask and ask and ask if the item was gluten free. The servers behind the counter were busy and I got tired of waiting for them to be available and tired of getting the word, "No, it's got gluten in it".

But what was just as bad is when the server gave the WRONG INFORMATION. I asked at the dessert counter if anything was gluten free (other than the gelato which is GF). He pointed me to the ENTIRE SECTION of deserts where there was ONE ITEM MARKED GLUTEN FREE, but he told me THE ENTIRE SECTION WAS GF. That meant the cake pops and other treats in that section. Boy was I unsure and am glad I didn't listen to him because he was wrong. Only one item (the one marked) was GF. The rest, had I listened to him, would have had a negative and serious effect on me.

So if you're going to put someone behind the counter and be asked a question that should come up frequently - MAKE SURE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. That's why I stopped asking. I couldn't trust the server to know. The Chef did come out at my request and helped me with the desserts but by this time I was too fearful to try anything else.

Recommendation - go someplace else.

The staff are amazing. The chef came out to explain what I could and could not eat. Everyone was willing to help. Having said that, it’s a buffet. There no dedicated gluten free place. Croutons spill into carrots. The pizza they would need to figure that out because flour was visibly all over. The toast bar, I asked if there was something to be done because crumbs with toaster, and he willingly took it to another grill. So kind!

I would call myself an adventurous celiac (probably because I lived so long without knowing). I still raised an eye brow or two at times. Definitely have the chef tell you because there was gluten in things I hadn’t expected, educational. I just don’t think it’s for really sensitive folks. However, they did say if I wanted anything special made they would make it. If you’re really sensitive.. go that path.

Good option for breakfast or dinner buffet. The variety of items is incredible. Making safe GF selections can be tricky. GF items are not marked. Counter staff are very pleasant but busy and may not really understand GF. Best to stay with items that are typically GF. I did not ask to speak with a chef as recommended by other reviewers.

Dinner experience. Tons of gluten free options. Macarons on desert bar were all gluten free with multiple flavors, gelato options with gf toppings, pot de creme, creme brulee and more! Dessert was the best part. I would say the best gf dessert bar selection I have experienced. They have many different salad options, tons of differently prepared vegetables. At dinner they had lamb, prime rib, boiled shrimp, mussels, ciopinno, smoked salmon, delicious fish options. I had a delicious kale, strawberry and goat cheese salad. My experience for a buffet was exceptional. I would definitely suggest for quality of food and selection. I also really like vegetables and meat. If you are wanting gf processed food as others have mentioned you will have to request it from the chef and selections are limited. I usually try to stay away from gf processed food (like gf substitutes for bread, etc) when eating out just because of the risk of cross contamination so this didn't bother me.

What a great experience! The staff was kind, empathetic and understanding. We notified them of our Celiac son and asked to speak with a chef. He came to our table, walked me around to every station, and personally took care of making several dishes for us. Even though the rest of the staff didn’t really understand, they asked questions and they seemed to really care. I was moved by that, truly. My son only had a tummy ache because he ATE TOO MUCH ❤ which fills my heart. 10/10 will be going again!

My wife is gluten free, not celiac but close, so we have to be very careful. We read great reviews of the Buffet and when we told the staff of an allergy, they got a manager who got a chef. The chef was very knowledgeable and patient, walking my wife and I through all of the stations saying what is gluten free or not. Unfortunately, there must have been some items we missed or were contaminated because my wife got “glutened”.

Items are definitely not labeled but if you ask the staff, they will tell you. From what we did eat, the food is excellent. Would not recommend for a celiac as there is no guarantee what you will get.

It’s July 4th 2022 and my daughter and I are at the Bellagio Buffet. The Bellagio has an extensive and delicious Gluten Free option listing for Gluten Free. When you get to your table ask your server to have the chef walk you through the items on the buffet which are gluten free. You will be surprised which item are gluten free and also surprised at the items which are not!!!

They will make you Gluten free Pizza also and French Toast if you ask for it. Keep an eye on you cook to make sure spatulas are changed. We tested many Buffet for Gluten free options and Bellagio is the Best!!

Staff are not knowledgeable. You really have to push for the correct info. I was told the rice was GF but when asking if it was cooked with stock he disappeared into the kitchen and came back out to say that it was just rice and vegetables but NOT gluten free. Not impressed. I could have meat, veg and potatoes. Not expansive enough to warrant the high cost.

Unless you are big into seafood, this buffet is not worth the $47 you’ll pay to eat there. While there are gluten free options, the food is sub-par and the atmosphere feel very cheap and casino touristy- big lines for the seafood, food sitting out under heat lamps not looking appetizing, etc.

Well marked gluten free signs. So many options to choose from. I felt safe and had a great meal

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate a ton of crab legs . It’s okay not worth the money compared to the wicked spoon .

Came for Sunday brunch. Options are pretty limited. Very little meat available. I was told I could ask for the fish without the sauce. But the carved meats (prime rib and chicken) were evidently not gf. On the upside they can prepare gluten-free pizza on request. But chef said avoid the topping meats because they don't know what's in them. Omelet station was gf and I was able to request gf fried rice.

There was a gf chocolate cake option for desert (zero flavor) or the serve yourself ice cream.

Given the cost it was the biggest waste of money we had in Vegas.

Items are not clearly marked gf like other buffets in town. The setup is somewhat confusing and the space is quite small. I was not impressed with my options and didn’t feel like I had enough food to make it worth the price.

Did not find it to be coeliac friendly, And buffet quite poor considering venue

Mediocre. The staff is very nice and had the manager and chef come to my table. They walked me around as only 2 things were marked as gluten free. Had some prime rib and that was good, cooked to medium rare. They made me a beautiful pizza. It was rice flour so it had a taste and was soggy so I didnt eat much of it. Tried eating meringues but they hadn't been left in the oven long enough to dry out and couldn't even bite through them. The creme brulee was delicious. The chocolate cake was nice as well. It tasted like buffet food. Wasn't super impressed. My husband who isnt gluten free said what he ate was just ok.

First, we had to wait 20 minutes and ask twice for the chef to come show me what I could eat. A lot of stuff was labeled, but he also told me that the meat and other items (which were not marked GF) were safe, so I ate them. Got sick quickly!! Don’t recommend for celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

I read reviews that all items were marked but that isn’t the case, some had no signs and a couple of the signs had been moved as well. However, the chef was great and walked us around and showed us everything. Great options!

Awesome food! Chef came out and talked to us to ensure celiac and peanut oil allergy friendly!

First day, the chef gave me the GF Tour. To be honest, I felt kind of embarrassed because the entire buffet had VERY clear signs indicating GF Food but there I was, bothering this fine young man who had hundreds of people to feed. Then he offered me GF Pancakes, made on request... I looked at the buffet and thought "geez this is going to be cross-contamination of the year" Tried it anyway, for scientific purposes.

It was so good I wanted to pet it. And zero reaction! Day two? Pancakes again. Safe! Days 3 and 4? Safe! Problem is: I will miss that pancake for the rest of my life.

So here's to you, Bellagio GF Pancake. Thanks for the memories.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What was listed such as burgers, chicken fingers and nuggets they did not have. they do post what is gluten free. I did let the manager know and she said she was unaware of what was listed here and she will let know marketing know to change this

The chef walked me around the cafe showing me what was safe to eat. Such a good buffet for a really good price!

The best breakfast options I could find. A staff member told me which items I can have and what I cannot. They can make gluten free pizza (too much garlic for my taste), French toast and pancakes. They also have gluten free muffin, fresh berries, ice cream and all was very tasty. The price is reasonable during the week but in the weekend it is almost double because of the meat. You have to pay five dollars for coffee if you would like espresso.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

mmmeeehhh, it's OK, not even close to the best. chef was very brief and didn't even address certain stations. I had the gluten free pizza but wasn't able to eat it because it wasn't cooked and crust was cold and gross. they used to have GF pasta but no longer do. I'd recommend Wynn over this place anyway as it's fantastic, especially for breakfast.

Celiac friendly?

No

Expensive buffet, with GF items, not fully celiac-friendly. The chef was knowledgeable but I didn't make it out totally ok. Got just a little bit sick. They did have GF deserts.

Celiac friendly?

No

Ate here tonight and got sticker shock since the rating is $$ and it cost us $40 a person. The chef did come out and let me know what I could have and given that I am gf/df, there were several options, even two desserts. I did a sampler plate and there were some things that were good and just ok. Definitely not worth $40 a plate. I think the cost rating should be changed. Given all the other options, I wouldn't eat here again.

Only GF option was one type of bread and one muffin for breakfast and the usual buffet Lard stuff.

I am a celiac not by choice. The chef brought me personally around to each every food item to explain which were safe. To include dessert, I never get dessert. However I was to stuffed. Next time dessert first! The price seemed high until you saw the enormous food to choose from. Will b eating there again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Dinner was great. GF sushi is rare. Chef walked me around and assured me the nigiri was safe. He said all sushi except ones that had the fried shrimp were safe. Confirmed the vinegar used was gf. Kobe top round with sautéed mushrooms excellent. Crab legs were great. Elegant atmosphere for a buffet. Got there early and had no line at 5 pm. When we left at 6:30 line was huge.

Very good. lots of choices but a little more limited than I expected based on the earlier reviews. Said I could ask for some meats plain without sauce but there usually wasn't someone readily available at the station to get it for us

Great options, didn't get sick and I'm very sensitive, the chef was very well informed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

it is amazing. I told them I had an allergy and they asked me questions to verify exactly what I had and the chef came out to personally walk me through the entire Buffet to tell me, from memory, exactly what I could eat.

and what a selection! salad and three types of dressing, rotisserie chicken, house made sausage, three different kinds of potatoes, 4 different kinds of cooked vegetables, peel n eat shrimp, eggs, bacon, sausage, jasmine rice and fried rice, Choy sum, pickled herring, cream herring, salsa Rosa, smoked salmon, cheese, fruits, three different types of sushi, two types of sorbet two types of custard and gluten-free chocolate cake!

they could even make me gluten free. pizza seared salmon and mahi mahi made to order gluten free!

it's $28 a person for lunch. but it's all you can eat and for this selection it's well worth it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So tasty if you want to splurge. Ask for a tour with the chef to find out what you can (and can't) eat. Even some GF desserts - Yum!

If you ask at the pancake counter they will do you gluten-free pancakes specially (takes about 15 mins though) and they also have a few GF muffins. However the quality of the food was pretty low, I think it's much better to eat at cafe bellagio for breakfast- and you get a much nicer view and it's less busy as it's not a buffet.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chef walked us through options on buffet. Very informed. Mind you, we never eat at buffets due to cross contamination but decided to give it a try based on reviews and did not regret it. The choices are mind boggling! Expensive but it is LV.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

FANTASTIC! So many gluten free options! The chefs (1 dinner, 1 breakfast) came out and walked me through the entire buffet to show me what was safe for me to eat. The omelet station was fantastic and they offer gf pancakes, french toast, and muffins!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The chef took the time to walk me through the entire buffet pointing not only their gluten free items but also their dairy free and egg containing items. Had a pizza made Ina dedicated oven for my son and instructed the sushi bar attendant to request gluten free soy sauce from her office if she didn't have any at hand. Food was delicious and everyone in the staff was beyond courteous. They make their own sausage, dressings, etc so they are 100% what's in them to assure us that there is no gluten. She (the chef) even pointed the items that although were GF they have potential cross contamination due to the stations they are placed in. Overall I was super impressed and thankful

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great! Chef walked me through every plate in the place told. Me what's gluten free and then made me a personal pizza.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My experience here was amazing! I came in and told the server that I had celiac disease and straight away they went and fetched the chef for me. The chef came straight over and went through every single station on the buffet with me telling me exactly what I could and couldn't have, she also made sure I knew I could ask the servers behind so I could have items of food before anyone had touched them. after leaving me she assured me I could come and get her at any point if I had any questions. She also went away and came back with a special gluten free cake for me four small pieces of it, she was fantastic! I highly recommend eating here!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What a great experience! I told our server that I had celiac and she had the chef go with me station to station and tell me what was safe and wasn't. They were very careful about even warning me about gfree foods that had the possibility of coming in contact with non gfree foods. Even had separate items in the back if requested. Chef personally made me my own gfree pizza in a dedicated oven. I'd go back!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chef came out and showed me everything I could eat and could not eat they were great about cross-contamination they also had gluten-free pizza and gluten-free chocolate cake and creme Brûlée! I would definitely eat there again!

Chef did take a while to greet me but it was great to know which items were safe. Food was delicious and did not feel I was missing out like I usually do.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wow, totally amazing. Sat down and had to wait a few minutes for the chef, but he apologized and then was fantastic at showing what we could eat and was very well informed. At each station, there was only a couple things that were not gf. Could order gf pizza and pasta and both were very big servings. Pizza may have been cut with a slicer that was used for other pizzas so watch for that. There were abt 7 gf items for dessert. A little pricey ($34 for dinner) but would go back because of all the options and knowledgeable and friendly staff

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely fantastic! Chef came out and walked me through the entire buffet. He knew what was safe and what wasn't. He also knew what was made in house and what wasn't. He offered to make me pasta or a pizza(all in separate pots/ovens) but I was more than ok with what was on the buffet. They even had many g-free desserts. Chef was very friendly and seemed happy to show me around. Highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is really great for celiacs. When I first got there I mentioned that I had gluten allergies and they sent a chef to see me. The chef walked with me showing me all options that were safe to eat. He also offered to make me a GF pizza or pasta. I ended up ordering the pizza which was very good. They also have GF deserts. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. I definitely recommend!!
