We noted far fewer tables in the dining areas than in the past. We were shown by a mask-wearing usher to a table for two. Whatever, we were given immediate reservation-on-the-spot access.

Maybe we looked like billion-dollar gamblers or maybe The Buffet was looking for customers. Seeing just a small crowed, we explained that we had a comp and no reservation. A Wynn employee guarded the entrance, reminding patrons that a reservation was necessary for entrance. So last Monday, after gambling and with masks in place, we walked over to a host’s lounge, had that free buffet put on our players’ cards and walked to The Buffet. Tables are spaced six feet apart, and food is brought to diners. We were told The Buffet is not open as it has been in the past, but even as a sit-down small-bites restaurant experience, The Buffet should provide a satisfying dining experience. Then another email noted if we each gained 150 points during our gambling experience, we’d qualify for a free brunch at The Buffet. Having received an email welcoming us back to Wynn Las Vegas gambling, we went. (Obviously we typically lost more than the cost of the lunch.) We would play for an hour and a half (typically not winning much) and then would go to a host, tell him or her we were hungry and would, via comp, be granted lunch at the wonderful Wynn buffet. Truth be told, a friend and I, prior to the coronavirus, had been regular Monday morning gambling visitors to the Wynn Las Vegas. The Wynn Las Vegas buffet entrance has a guard asking if patrons have a reservation.
