Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Im heading over to Las Vegas tomorrow and i wanted to know which buffets do u guys think are the best. not best price, but shizznit food. also would be cool if u tell me if u need to make reservations. thanx

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

I don't think any of the Vegas buffets take reservations. Bellagio and Mirage have the two best buffets in my opinion. Mirage completely renovated their buffet about two years ago and it is awesome. You also cannot go wrong at Bellagio. Both have a huge variety of quality food.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Bellagio, IMO, is the BEST dinner buffet I've ever had. And I don't really like buffets...but let me tell you, this is a MUST visit. Anything you can imagine...venison chops, ceviche, sushi, steaks, prime rim, tons of pastas, seafood, I can't even think of it all, but it's great. The dessert area is also great...flan, cremebrule, cheesecake, chocolate covered strawberries the size of softballs.

If you play poker at Bellagio (mid limits), ask for a line pass before you go during prime dinner time. You jump right to the front of what is often a long line.

I've heard the Paris brunch is also amazing, but I've never had it...I will in December.

Boulder Station $8 $1 off with players card

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Best are Bellagio and Alladin. I think Alladin is around $25 and Bellagio is around $30 for dinner. Be warned that while Bellagio is clearly the king of Vegas buffetts, finicky people may not like it. One of my friends described it as a buffet consisting of animals you might see on Wild Kingdom. He is definitely more the burger & fries type.

The best less expensive buffetts are off the strip. If you go downtown, Main Street Station is pretty good and about $11 or so for dinner

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Bellagio didn't impress me as much as it does some....I really love the seafood buffet at the Rio...it's not just deafood, but you casn fill up on all the crab legs, lobstertails, shrimp, clams, ehatever you want. It's great. It's pretty pricey, too - #35 a pop.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

I can also recommend the $9 Boulder Station buffet. Good value.

I think they are all good, except the Excalibur. Avoid it like the plague. In fact, I think the plague was on that buffet.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

wynn was excellent as well

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Paris was pretty good when I had it about 2 years ago.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

The Rio, Bellagio, Mirage, and Strat are pretty good. Haven't been to the renovated Alladin yet. Also, just a FYI, if you're a guy and obviously like meat, skip the buffet and just get the rodizio dinner at Samba in the Mirage(next to the buffet). Basically they just bring out hunks of like 10 different kinds of bbq meat and its all you can eat and probably #1 on my list of wonderful tastes.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

IMO Bellagio is the best... the Wynn is also pretty good. For third I'd pick Dishes at TI... on Fri/Sat they have prime rib/crab legs/other sea food, and if you go right before 4pm, you get in for the lunch price, wait till 4 and they bring out all the good dinner stuff. Lunch price is ~$13 and dinner price is 26.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

I've had Bellagio and it's very, very good. But, I prefer Paris. It's about $10 cheaper for dinner from what I recall, but the food espcially the deserts cannot be topped. I don't think Paris can be topped.

MGM's is adequate at best. Harrah's is poor. Unfortunately I stayed there on business and had coupons for free buffets with my room.

Mirage has a very good one. Equal to Bellagio IMO.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Hey, say you are playing 15/30 at the Bellagio. How hard is it to get a line pass? Do you just ask the floor?

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Just go to the woman (or whoever) sitting in a little booth next to the cage in the poker room and ask for a line pass. Sometimes they ask what limit you're playing, sometimes not. When they asked, I said 30-60 (which was true) and he gave me one. I'm assuming 15-30 is fine.

You can also get a line pass to Bellagio's 24-hour restaurant (in the garden area by the valet parking). This is very good food as well.

Bellagio Line Pass
 

The Bellagio Buffet usually has a huge line. Can you get a line pass from the poker room? Or, dare I even say it, a COMP?????

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Mandalay Bay is really good, and slightly less expensive than Bellagio and some of the others mentioned.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Aladdin and Rio are way, way better than Bellagio. Especially the Aladdin buffet, it's one of the reasons why I love to go to Vegas.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

I found that the buffet at night at the Flamingo was good. I think it was $15.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

For breakfast, the mirage is the best. For dinner, pick among the bellagio, rio, mirage, alladin, or circus circus. You can't go wrong.

<font color="white"> OK, just kidding about the circus circus!!!! </font>

If you stick to the crab leg, prime rib, and mashed potatoes, yes. The fact that they slice the crab leg along the length makes it even easier to be a glutton.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

I think that you guys recommending the Flamingo, Circus Circus, or Stratosphere buffet are absolutely looney. I can think of lots better ways to spend my $10-15. CC and strat are BARELY a cut above the IP buffet which has roughly one edible item. These places are worse than Hometown Buffet which is not bad and runs about $7-8 for dinner. Flamingo is about comparable to Hometown Buffet, but charges $15 for it.

If you need a bargain buffett, do yourself a favor and hit Main St. Station downtown, or off strip Texas Station or Boulder Station(yes the station casinos have pretty decent Buffets).

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

When I was in Vegas 2 years ago Paris and Aladin were by far the best that I tried. Bellagio was meh.

Re: Bellagio Line Pass
 

I got a line pass to the Bellagio Buffet and a $15 comp. I was playing the 80 game, and they give free delivery of food to all players there so I don't know if they give any comp in the smaller game.

I cannot imagine the Bellagio making that much more in the 80 game that they do in the 15 or 30 game. Next time I go I'll give it a shot.

Are there any other buffets which would be good for a seafood lover?

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

I've heard the Sunday Brunch buffet at Sterlings in Bally's is amazing. Very pricey, $60 I think but you get champagne and there is lots of seafood, including Lobster.

If you are eating at the Excalibur go to the Sherwood Forrest Cafe and get the Chicken nachos. They are the best Nachos on the planet

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

We went to Rio's in July with a WSOP voucher. I don't know if it was a bad time, but it was truly not appealing, I thought the price was twice the real value.

Bellagio's on the other hand was the TOP, worth every dollar and the wait!

Best,

samba is a disgusting insult to a real brazilian steakhouse, btw

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Alladin by far

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

The Wynn, and anyone who says otherwise hasn't eaten there.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Rio Seafood Buffet, if you like seafood (obviously). There's other food, but not as much as other buffets. Bellagio otherwise.

Not to mention about $10-15 over priced. There are any number of Brazilian steakhouses here in Los Angeles and most charge $17-25 per person vs. the $33 or so that Samba charges, for the exact same thing.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Love the buffet at Paris Las Vegas, especially taking first-timers to Vegas there.
When I'm downtown, I enjoy eating at Main Street Station's buffet. Maybe not gourmet, but enjoyable.

food quality, I complete agree (though Bellagio can be close). Selection of things to eat, it's debateable. I think Bellagio and Aladin can have a wider selection of things, especially for people with more basic tastes

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Aladdin. I was extremely disappointed with the Mirage the 2 times I went this past year.

Re: Best buffets in Las Vegas
 

Paris Las Vegas by far, even went there for my birthday. The Wynn is okay, but too international in the dishes, avoid Sahara, Circus Circus, Stardust, Riveria and especially the New Frontier, unless you have a death wish.

Wynn is basicly the same as Bellagio's.
