Getting married in September at Bellagio. Expecting 15-20 guests including kids. Wanted a nice dinner but price per person at all Bellagio restaraunts were too expensive plus with kids, wasn't much of an option. Considering the buffett at Bellagio, but is this too tacky or too casual for wedding dinner? Also, am I going to look odd in my dress there?

    Not tacky, as long as you are feeding your guests they will be happy! I wouldn't think differently if i was a guest at a reception at a buffet vs. restaurant.

    I had the same concerns at first, but have really come around to the idea, I think its perfect for ensuring that everyone's needs are catered for, and I'm kind of looking forward to swishing around a buffet in my dress! (although I'll be very scared of staining it!)

    I'm looking into booking the semi-private room at the Wynn buffet :)

    Not tacky at all. Buffets in Vegas now heading towards the gourmet food direction. We had our wedding reception couple weeks ago at Wicked Spoon buffet at The cosmopolitan. All our guests raved about how delicious the food was and it was the best wedding reception they ever been to :).

    Always love seeing your review, eviliciouz. Just makes me feel so much better and confident about my decision of choosing Wicked Spoon. I think anywhere that meets the bride and groom's requirements would be fine. I agree with the flexibility of buffets. My feeling was that we are paying about the same anywhere... Might as well have all the guests, who have traveled to be there, pick whatever they like and have as much of it as they like.

    We went to the TI buffet with 14 people.

    We were there kind of late (8pm) and the waitress clued us in to a 18% surcharge for a party over 6 or 8 people (there is a sign, and it's small ... watch for it!), so we split up our group to save the $$. They tried to seat us in different parts of the dining room too, but once we got our food, we all sat together anyway, so it worked out in our favor.

    Our group had a crazy range of diet needs, so we figured the best way to accomodate the most people that way was a buffet.  It was fine.

    I love the Bellagio buffet!  I think your group is the perfect size for it too.  I would call and see if they have a private room or if they can put you in your own area of the buffet.  Don't worry about having a wedding dress on .... it's Vegas and there are brides EVERYWHERE!

    I don't think it's tacky at all. We are doing our post wedding dinner at the Wynn buffet.
