nn Hotels’ (WYNN) - Get Report Wynn Las Vegas property is permanently shuttering its all-you-can-eat buffet service, despite best efforts to continue offering the service amid the pandemic.
In a statement provided to Las Vegas FOX5 news, a spokesman for Wynn said the buffet will close at the end of service on Monday, Sept. 7.
Wynn’s lavish buffet was the first on the Las Vegas Strip to reopen following the coronavirus pandemic that forced Sin City to shut down.
The buffet was reopened in mid-June with a "reimagined all-you-can eat concept." The altered service offered guests about 90 dishes that were served to diners’ tables vs. the more traditional "hunting and gathering” format of buffets.
Despite stringent health and safety guidelines, including physical distancing, touch-less technologies and disposable single-use and QR code downloadable menus, the re-imagined buffet wasn't a hit.
“Based upon guest feedback, we found that many guests prefer a more traditional buffet experience over the served all-you-can-eat format," Michael Weaver, spokesman for Wynn Resorts, told FOX5 news.
