Having been coming to Las Vegas for over 30 years, I have seen many changes. Especially in terms of food, and today I want to talk about the Las Vegas buffet.
These aren’t just any buffets, in Las Vegas they are themed, unique and super plentiful. They are often combined with famous hotels and casinos from around the world.
For those of us who grew up in large families, the Las Vegas buffet is the place to be. There’s something delicious for all of us, and that’s the most appealing thing about buffets. However, it feels like a lifetime ago now to be traveling through the buffet. the economic impact after COVID-19 has caused prices to go up as well. Based on the amount of time I spent there and what the locals say. Here are the buffets in Las Vegas that still offer good value for the money. I’ll start with a few of my favorites.
1. **Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace**: For true luxury, this is the place to be. Lots of high end food included here. Like roasted whole hog and fresh oysters. And every truffle you can imagine. Prices range from $64.99 to $84.99, and it perfectly captures the wild spirit of Las Vegas.
It is one of the most expensive restaurants on this list. It is always crowded and lively. Here, they make you adhere to time limits, but the over 250 dishes also make it feel like you’re getting your money’s worth. You can start your foraging here with a bright yogurt parfait. There’s a great waffle store and stacks of Eggs Benedict ready to go.
If you come later in the day, there is plenty of seafood to be had. There is a huge counter filled with shrimp. There’s a variety of seafood boils to choose from, and three different kinds of crab waiting for you. They also have deluxe meals that are really good value for money. Like quail in cherry sauce, roasted bone marrow and grilled oysters with pickles.
One of the best luxury buffets in Las Vegas and one of the best restaurants in Sin City. Be sure to make a reservation before you go because it’s always packed.
2. **A. Y. C. E. Buffet at Palms Casino Resort**: If you rank Las Vegas casino buffets. A.Y.C.E. C.E. would definitely rank high. There are a lot of food choices here. Fresh seafood, trendy desserts and more.
I always like to balance out the heavy food with a salad, so having a quality salad bar means a lot to me. There is a great selection and all the food is neatly organized. That way you don’t miss out on any of the deliciousness. I think the prices here are fair as well. The dinner buffet costs $46.99. They also have special dinners like the Lobster and Snow Crab Dinner for $79.99. and the prime rib and snow crab dinner for $52.99. I especially recommend the $42.99 brunch. Because it includes bottomless mimosas.
Reservations are a good option, and the buffet’s time limit can be annoying. But at A.Y.C.E., the 90-minute limit feels normal. If you want a sense of whimsy, the deliciously succulent seafood A.Y.C.E. is definitely worth your time and money.
3. **The Buffet at Wynn Las Vegas**: The Wynn has a great name for a reason. It stands out mostly for its beautiful setting, and the wide selection of their family dishes is why people come here. This also helps explain the $79.99 dinner price, which is higher than some restaurants. What makes this restaurant special is its size; they have 16 kitchens working. Each kitchen is making food from a different place, from bright Latin street food to cozy barbecue from the American South.
But the lobster here is an extra charge and you have to pay $175 for it. If you’re not planning on eating tons of lobster, just eat regular food. One of the great things about this place is that there is no time limit. If you want to relax, this is the place to do it. Take in the beauty of the surroundings and take your time to enjoy a great meal.
4. **Wicked Spoon at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas**: Wicked Spoon is located inside the stylish Cosmopolitan Hotel. It’s a highbrow buffet restaurant where the opulence of the restaurant’s interior complements the food. The food is displayed here like a work of art. But the $54 price tag here is always a good value. A word of caution: they have a dress code, so be sure not to wear a hoodie.
While Wicked Spoon only serves breakfast and brunch, they don’t limit themselves to early morning fare. They are known for their mounds of crab legs, and for me, that has always been the best part. When I was a kid, any Las Vegas buffet was the same. When I hear “Las Vegas Buffet”, I still think of crab legs that are immediately available.
5. **Buffet @ Asia**: This one is better suited for those who are most value-oriented, which means looking at the price first and foremost. The Asian Buffet Restaurant will probably be a favorite of these people. It’s not connected to a major hotel or casino, so it’s pretty much out of the main Strip area, but it does have locations on both the east and west sides of town. Except for a 10% service charge on takeout orders. You won’t pay more than $27 here. The best part? The low price doesn’t mean a drop in flavor or quality. It gives you both of those great things.
This buffet is perfect for people who like to try new foods. Lovers of Asian flavors can also come here. You can find foods such as frog legs here, along with strong, spicy flavors. But there are also many popular classic dishes here. But if you don’t like these Asian dishes like Thai, Chinese, Japanese or Vietnamese, then this is not the place for you.
6. **The Buffet at Bellagio**: This place is a real treasure for families. Because children under the age of five are completely free here, it’s a great deal for some families who need to save money.
Children between the ages of six and eleven are half price, so larger groups can save money this way. Prices for adults, however, vary widely, sometimes reaching around $80. It depends on when you go. It’s wise to call ahead and check current prices before making plans. Look for early closing on weekdays. Usually by 3pm.
The restaurant is primarily a brunch or lunch spot, and is closed late night on weekdays. It offers reliable quality meals. Quick tip: wear a shirt. They have a dress code.
7. **Market Place Buffet at Rampart Casino**: Want a more low-key buffet? Want to be relaxed and off the beaten path? Then get off the Main Strip. Discover this spot at Rampart Casino. It’s a place that celebrates the culture of the laid-back vacationer.
Unlike busy places, this place allows for relaxed dining in a tranquil setting. No matter how long or short the meal is. Prices start at a very reasonable $23. You can take your time and enjoy the food and company without ever feeling rushed.
Exploring a buffet restaurant is like exploring a treasure. Looking for luxury cuisine? Or a trip down memory lane? Or maybe just affordable meals. Everyone can satisfy your different cravings at those places that suit them.
