I know there's a thread for the Wynn Buffet, but I've heard Bellagio's buffet is actually better than the Wynn Buffet.

What do you guys say? Which hotel has the best buffet in town?

How's the buffet at other hotels, like Mirage, or TI?

I probably should preface this by saying that I really don't care for buffets as a matter of personal taste (haha), but Mirage, Bellagio, and Wynn each have popular ones.

That being said, you should always consider how much you are paying per person ($35+) and weigh out if you wouldn't be happier someplace nicer where you could even get a $25 entree and a drink for the same price....minus the lines and hoarding. :D

The buffet at Rio was actually pretty awesome!!! I went twice when I was there in March, we stayed at Rio. I think Sunday was a way better experience, except for the massive wait, but I think it was cause we were pretty hungover. That and it was brunch which included free mimosas! Between 4 of us we killed 6+ bottles of champagne!

Good point!

Out of the 5 or so meals we're going to be eating out in Las Vegas, I think we should make atleast one of them a buffet meal....just to keep with tradition ;)

Wynn has the best buffet, as far as food quality, that I've ever had.

Best part is that if you're not a member of the Wynn Red Card, you can sign up for one and if you earn a certain number of points the first day you get a free buffet.

Well, they have those standup slot roulette machines now, and you can place opposing bets on them, meaning it's really easy to rack up the 200 points or whatever it takes to get the buffet, and literally lose $0.

Free buffets. So that's definitely worth doing if you're not already a Wynn Red Card member

My parents are religious believers in the buffet at the Bellagio. I made a point to try and go, but I never had the chance to make it.

Never took part in the buffets in Vegas... don't think I ever will. Not sure why, but the idea of them turns my stomach...

I have had 1 buffet at the MGM. I didnt think it was that great, but I highly enjoyed the mimosas.

paris buffet is decent too

I eaten the buffet at Caesars, breakfast buffet at Paris, wynn buffet and rio buffet with the same end result. I was so full I was either going to die or puke from a food hangover

I have to agree with you on the outcome! That is why you have to pace yourself!!!

Wynn Buffet kills Bellagio.. way better food.. Paris breakfast buffet good.. Amazing brunch buffet at Simons at Palms.. Rio is pretty good without paying an arm and a leg

Bellagio is the best!

The difference between Bellagio and Wynn is that Wynn has more origiinal and different high end dishes while at Bellagio, the quality is high but it lacks the creativity

Spice Market in PH only good for breaky.. lunch/dinner is blech..

How much do buffets cost?

Im picturing a giant help ur self set up with lots of people crowding them and handling the food im in line for?

depends which one you go to....at times they can get pretty expensive though....theyre certainly not my cup of tea

So I had the buffet at Wynn for lunch. Now I know why you guys don't like buffet's in Vegas, and I think from now on, i'm in the same boat as well.

But I do have to admit, the buffet at Wynn is very creative.

I prefer the Bellagio. Wynn gets the edge in quality. The king crab legs at the Wynn are really good quality for a buffet. Bellagio has more variety and is more ambitious. Bellagio has stuff like steak tartar, beef wellington, kobe beef, and game meats. Bellagio also has slightly better service, but the best buffet service I've consistently had in Vegas is the Rio Seafood Buffet (not to be confused with their Carnival buffet). Bellagio raises prices on the weekends for their "gourmet" buffets and it does make a huge difference in terms of quality and selection. Not sure if the Wynn is different on weekends or not.

i have to say that i wasn't terriblely impressed with Bellagio's buffet. mind you, this is coming from a person that does not enjoy buffets in general.. i think there are better buffets in canada. :)

You don't have them in Vancouver LOL

But in Toronto we have Mandarin :D

might i add, the admission price is really low too. in vegas, it would cost as twice as much for what you get.

After browsing the menu I'm going to disagree for the sake of disagreeing!!

Mandarin is nasty big box mass produced fake chinese food.. Quality is terrible.. Does not even belong in the same spectrum as Wynn and Bellagio, altho I prefer Wynn by far over Bellagio

notch a vote for me in the Wynn column :)

my only caveat is that I am not big on buffets, but if I do go its always brunch on sat....hangover relief with variety

Wish I knew about this! I got signed up automatically the first day I checked into the Wynn. They basically give you the red card to use for you room.

The buffet at the M Resort and Spa is top notch! I went on Sunday it was $25.95 for their seafood dinner and it came with all you can drink beer, wine & specialty coffee. Worth checking out if you have a car!

I have it on very good authority from a fat woman I know that the Rio is the place to be. And you just can't doubt fat people when they're talking food.

The Rio is a great buffet as well... especially since we had a 2 for 1 coupon...

bahahahaha thats kinda mean :D

They have to know what they're talking about with all the obvous experience. Sad but true. I dont trust skinny people with food. always diet this, low fat that. Go big or go home. In moderation of course. ;)

bahahahahaha thats great!!!!!

food has nothing to do with it.. it's all genetics ;)

Well, that definately has a lot to do with it too. Some people are just blessed with amazing metabolisms. I geuss theres always an exception to the rule. But, I think I would still have to make that kind of skinny person eat first before I would trust them.

I live a block away from the M casino, and have to say its very enjoyable, and only has one down side. This is the only venue in town where I can't talk my way past the line. Expect to wait on average 1 hr for seating. Once inside they have a sprawling variety of food, all you can drink beer, wine (try the M cider) and liquor enhanced coffee.

I have been for breakfast, lunch and dinner and would say lunch is the way to go. You get a full dinner menu for half the price.

I absolutely agree with you! The line up was insane! I couldn't believe how long it took for us to actually get in! We ended up waiting for about 45min to get seated but it was well worth the wait!

I've only eaten at two buffets in Vegas- Spice Market and the one in the Rio. Would say the Rio was a bit better. May try the Bellagio or Wynn this time.

Seems like no one's a fan of breakfast buffets?

Any breakfast buffet that's got bacon in the line-up is alright by me. Eat like crazy and never get hungry until 8 or 9pm.

Hi all…………new person here but definitely not new to Las Vegas. My wife and I have been going for 18, no 19 years now, lol. Man time sure passes by fast.
We stopped going to Buffets a few years ago but remember the Pairs being very good.
We are staying at Bellagio this fall for the first time and because of the reviews think we will give it a try.

Do you guys know anything about the all day buffets at MGM? Do you get to just come and go as you please? It would be nice to eat several meals without buffet sized proportions.

The cashier at the buffet gives you a punch card for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You'll only get three meals if you get there early enough for breakfast. If you came for lunch and asked for an all day pass, the breakfast option would be punched out. The buffet food for lunch and dinner was the exact same thing, but dinner also included crab legs.

Thats not bad at all. The hotel gives me a 2 for 1 package..so I better start my eats early!

I was at the MGM last week with the 2 for 1 buffet all day buffets. Just charge them to your room. On check out day, I checked out at the front desk because I wanted a copy of my bill. The girl at the desk saw the buffet charges on my bill and said they were supposed to be free and took them off my bill. So try checking out at the front desk and see what happens!

Oh thanks for that pointer! I see promos for free buffets now with MGM if you book. So this might actually work very well...

I wonder if the free Wet Republic and Tabu access works the same as well...

I checked out the buffet at Paris and I must say on Saturday when I went it was pretty good! My crew really enjoyed it too. However we went back on Monday and it wasn't as good and they didnt have the crablegs any more, totally bummed me out!

Yea the Paris is definitely better then MGM. I had MGM 3 meals a day and got sick of it by lunch time...

Sorry have to dig up an old thread.

Debating on which brunch to hit up. Let me premise with I don't much care for buffets (quality over quantity baby)....but my group wants to hit up the Bellagio.

So after doing a lil research I see that Jasmine @ Bellagio also offers a Sunday Brunch overlooking the fountains. Jasmine's website appears to offer a little more upscale menu then the regular Sunday Brunch @ Bellagio. Has anyone tried both of these to make a comparison?

After reading many reviews I have to say I'm intriqued by the Wynn brunch. Has any one eaten @ Wynn ,Jasmine & Bellagio to make a comparison?

I'd really love to try the Sterling Brunch and make an exception for the $85 pp as a birthday treat but don't think everyone's up for it.

I personally like Bellagio's buffet better than Wynn's. Wynn's buffet wasn't impressive at all.

Bellagio buffet is fantastic... haven't tried Jasmine though

Paris buffet was GREAT when I was there. We all devoured the food there and the selection was endless.

Jasmine is closed...so looks like it will probably be Bellagio. Thanks for your help.

WHy is it everywhere I try to read, this jokers post is everywhere?....

I'll throw my vote in for the Bellagio as well...easily the best one I had on my last trip down.

I like the Paris buffet. It's well priced, and the food selection is good, and they move fast. I've been to other ones such as the Bellagio, but the entire time, I felt it wasn't worth the money. I'd rather go to the one in PH. The sunday breakfast is nice though at Bellagio, but again, for that price, I'd rather just have breakfast in a non-buffet restaurant..

I know the Rio one is supposed to be world famous.. but I didn't find that one anything to write home about or worth the trip out there.

I like the one in PH too.. it's good value for what it is, and a good location. If you go to the PH player's card booth, you can get a coupon for it too, so it's like $10 for lunch.

Everytime I visit Vegas, I try to eat at as many buffets possible. So far, I've eaten at most of the major ones. Wynn and Bellagio are both excellent choices and you really cannot go wrong with either of them, but if price is a factor, I think that Mirage has to be considered for overall value. Its a few bucks cheaper and they have the BEST macaroons! If you like warm crab legs, MGM might be a better option than the RIO's seafood buffet. It's been a few years since I've been to either but I remember we ate MGM buffet for three straight nights and each night had warm steamed crab legs and was about twenty bucks cheaper. Pretty much every other buffet I've tried had crab legs but they were cold. In the end, Mirage and the macaroons get my vote!

I ate at the Wynn and Bellagio in the same weekend, and I thought the Bellagio blew the Wynn out of the water. It wasn't even close when it came to selection and quality. Wynn had tiny selection of sushi as well and no nigiri. Dessert bar was much smaller than Bellagio. Service was a complete 180 as well. I feel like I'm a foodie, not necessarilty a food snob, but I know what is good food and good value. Wynn wasn't even close, or least during that weekend. Keep in mind this was about 1 year ago.

bellaghio!!

how about for the price-conscious?
what's the best buffet deal?

I heard Bellagio is about $19.95, and people say it is as good as Wynn, so compared to the $34.99 at Wynn, I'd say Bellagio is the best priced; especially when considering the quality of the food you are getting.

From my experience, the Rio's All-World Carnival Buffet is pretty good value. I think it was like $24 about two years ago, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of selection.

As for the Bellagio being $19.95, I have never seen that or even heard of that. If you can get it for that price, jump on it. I paid like $40 or so for dinner, and paid about the same for the Wynn.

Just do the late lunch thing at Wynn buffet and stay over for dinner.

Or brunch + unlimited champage = 4 hours at the buffet + eating into dinner

That one required immediately crashing onto my pillow and lots of exercise. lol.

Wynn is my favorite though for food quality.

Bellagio has some interesting meats like quail and buffalo but IMO the meats were overcooked. They had some kobe beef roast but it was so well done it ruined the fact that it was kobe.

Lunch Buffet at Bellagio is $19.95, according to LV Advisor.

even though im not much of a buffet person. my two personal favorite ones so far is the bellagio and wynn during dinner time.

Had buffets all over the place - the most memorable? Boardwalk casino at 4am...

Anyway, the best - Rio. It's almost troubling how enjoyable their buffet is.

I would have to go with the Rio, followed closely by The Wynn, and then The Bellagio. The Paris breakfast buffet is good too, but we hardly are up early enough to make it!

I have been to TI, MGM, Bellagio, and Wynn buffets. The only one I wasnt happy with was MGM. I personally think the Wynn one had the best choices and food quality. Its not a bad price on weekdays either... i think 20 for lunch?

I forgot to mention that sterling brunch is probably the best buffet. But it's 80 bucks a person.

I was just there yesterday, although my memory is so busted I forgot how much it was (between $20 and $30 after tax I believe). Absolutely worth it. A good trick is to show up at 10:30-45am... then you get the end of the breakfast (which is kick ass), and the start of the lunch at 11am (which is also kick ass).

Do not pass on the eggs Benedict, the pulled pork on cornbread (w/ a little cole slaw on top), and of course, the desserts.

I've had the eggs benedict at the Wynn Buffet, and I have to admit they were pretty awesome.

A week ago I had breakfast at the MGM and I must say I was not impressed.

The next night I had dinner at the Rio.....wow!! Amazing! The food was great.

Then the following day we had lunch at the Harrahs....good. For the price, I must say it was decent.

I've enjoyed the Wynn and Bellagio dinner buffets the most of all of them. I also do enjoy MGM's. One that I found horrible was the breakfast buffet at Planet Hollywood. Low quality food, crap service and an overall bad experience.

I've had Rio's Carnavale lunch buffet twice. This time around tried the Bellagio dinner buffet on friday. Paid around $37 per person (which is not bad for dinner buffet).

the average: sushi
the worst: horribly overcooked Kobe sirloin
the redeeming: good pasta selection and dessert was good too
the highlight: crab legs and smoked scottish salmon... very very good

This was my experience as well, it should be a crime to overcook beef like they do! especially if it really is kobe...

I have been to the Paris, Caesars, and Bellagio buffets.

I was a big fan of the Paris one the first couple of times there, but it fell off very quickly during my later visits.

I would say that currently Bellagio's is my fav, but I have yet to try Wynn.

I tried Bellagios just last Sunday and since im not into sushi or seafood I wasn't too happy :(

I can't think it's Kobe for $37 per person.

Wynn for Dinner and Bally's for Breakfast are easily the best I've had the few times I have eaten at buffets. But I do agree with Jack that the 40 bucks you spend on the Wynn may not be worth it. If you figure out a way to get in for 20 though... fully recommend it.

Not sure if it can be done for Wynn, but if you go to Bellagio just towards the end of lunch, you can stay over for dinner and pay the lunch price. A lot more of a variety at dinner times.

Anyone have an opinion on the best champagne brunch buffets? The roomies and I are looking to be incredibly hedonistic one afternoon and gorge ourselves on food and drink.

The rio by far

If money isn't an object, Bally's Sterling Brunch is amazing. It is a splurge thought at around $80 per person (last time I was there) and only offered on Sundays I believe.

i have tried mostly all the buffets from all of the hotels and i would say rios buffet is all around the best pricewise qualitywise and selection wise compared to the price and selection of others

Loved the buffett at the Wynn

Hated the buffett at the IP..OH god!!

Everytime I come to Vegas, Rio never soured my stomach. On the other hand, Paris buffet was small and didn't hit the spot at all.

I probably should preface this by saying that I really don't care for buffets as a matter of personal taste (haha), but Mirage, Bellagio, and Wynn each have popular ones.

Just read your post and feel exact the same...

Have been to many of buffet and not one has impressed.

The M buffet has never let me down.
