When obligated claws start at Wynn buffet?

I want to do lunch/early dinner at Wynn and want the whole experience - crab legs, carving, and lobster claws. Does everything roll out as soon as lunch starts or do some items get held till closer to dinner time? I don’t need to play the pay for brunch get dinner game, I just want to eat earlier.

At the Wynn Buffet, the seafood offerings like crab legs, lobster claws, and carving stations are definitely part of the experience you’re looking for, but there is a specific timing to when they roll out during the day. While the buffet offers a range of dishes throughout lunch and dinner, some of the more premium items tend to be served at different times based on the meal period.

Typically, the buffet transitions from lunch to dinner around 3:00 PM. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Crab Legs & Lobster Claws: These are usually available during dinner hours, which start after the lunch period ends, around 3:00 PM. If you want to ensure you get these items, it’s best to arrive closer to the dinner service time. They won’t be available during the early lunch period.
  • Carving Stations: The carving stations, which feature prime cuts of meat, are generally available during both lunch and dinner, but they may feature different cuts depending on the time of day. The more premium meats, like rack of lamb or roasted beef, are often more plentiful during dinner hours.
  • Lunch vs. Dinner Transition: If you’re planning to go during the early afternoon, it’s best to aim for a time closer to 3:00 PM to get the full dinner experience without paying for the brunch rate (which would be a cheaper option for the earlier lunch hours). The staff usually switches to dinner service at this time, so that’s when the seafood and carving stations with higher-end options become available.

Overall, to enjoy the full experience with crab legs, lobster claws, and carving meats, it's best to plan your visit for a little closer to 3:00 PM, right when the dinner menu takes over. This way, you can avoid the "brunch" time, but still get all the dishes you're looking for without having to play the pay-for-brunch-get-dinner game.
