The Buffet, like the rest of Aria, looks promising, but somehow is just oddly off.  It's a vibe that says \"Hey, we're new and sleek and modern, isn't that enough?\".   There is some good food, and most of it is okay, but not really worth the long wait and the price they charge.  Also, the layout is really odd, with all of the food around the outer perimeter of the seating area.  Depending on where you sit, you may have to walk a long way to see it all.  I guess that's one way to burn off the calories.   Also, there are no self-serve drinks.  That may be okay for a place that isn't very crowded, but with the number of people they pump through these buffets, it doesn't cut it.
