1. Wicked Spoon at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

An elegant and luxuriously decorated restaurant, Wicked Spoon is my ultimate favorite buffet in Vegas. Items are served in reasonable portion sizes with many options served within individual metal saucepans or mini plates. Try food from across the world at the best quality you will find on the strip.

An impressive array of seafood is available at Wicked Spoon, the buffet at The Cosmopolitan and the varied selection is fantastic.

A highlight for me has to be the dessert section with an ice cream bar, a mini bakery area, and some incredible cakes and chocolate delights. There is definitely a dessert for everyone in this Las Vegas buffet.

In keeping with the Italian-themed hotel, the decor reflects an Italian village town complete with detailed artwork. As another one of the best buffets in Las Vegas, the buffet is known for its unusual salads and variety of seafood as well as some unique desserts.

The food options aren’t as expansive as other buffets nor is the seating area; meaning the buffet can get busy in the evenings. However, the salad bar is a great choice for those healthy eaters out there.

6. Studio B Buffet at The Mirage

Softly lit, the Studio B Buffet offers a relaxed experience with an expansive collection of food offered, often prepared in front of you. The Japanese and Thai sections are particularly delicious, made even better by the all-you-can-drink wines and beers.

Calum particularly enjoyed the build-your-own nachos and taco stand whilst I am all about their amazing calzones; the diversity of the buffet options makes this one of the best buffets in Las Vegas.

8. Paris Le Village Buffet at Paris Las Vegas

Of course, this buffet is decorated like a French Village with various food stations themed around different provinces of France. Here you will eat your traditional buffet food with a French twist, my favorite being the made-to-order crepe station.

The restaurant area is a little smaller than others meaning it can get chaotic during dinner periods and personally I find that the food is hit or miss, some dishes can be delicious whilst others are a bit bland.

Cheap buffets in Las Vegas

There are some cheap buffets that you can enjoy in Las Vegas too! Some of the best are:

• Crafted Buffet at The Strat – with Pan-Asian dishes and Southwestern specialties, there is a lot to love at the Crafted Buffet. Prices start at just $16.99 and you can get 25% off by signing up for the True Rewards program. 
• Circus Buffet at Circus Circus – With prices starting at $19.99 and discounts for children, the Circus Buffet is definitely a more affordable option in Vegas. 
• The Buffet at Luxor – With a huge salad bar, omelet stations, great seafood, and international cuisines available, this buffet is a great choice; especially for a fancy weekend brunch. If you get the all-day wristband, you can eat at the Luxor and Excalibur buffets too. Prices start a $19.99.

Tips for visiting the Las Vegas buffets

• Use Groupon or Living Social to find some discount deals on the buffets before you arrive.

• Check the hotel’s loyalty program – sometimes they offer free or discounted buffets if you sign up. 

• Ask the hotel you are staying at if they have any discounts for guests.

• Get a 24-hour access pass to enjoy breakfast, lunch dinner, and breakfast the next day! Or time it so you can have a late dinner, breakfast, lunch, and early dinner the next day! The Caesars Entertainment 24-hour pass can be used at the buffets in Harrah’s Paris, Rio, Caesars, Planet Hollywood, and Flamingo; we highly recommend it!  

• Go early for Brunch and late for dinner – Queues at buffets can be long. Many visitors will head to brunch later on, so arrive early to beat the queues. When heading to dinner, you can also get a line pass from the hotel reception, especially if you are staying in the hotel. 

• Cheap dinner – This tip only works for buffets that stay open all day. But if you head to the restaurant at the end of lunchtime, you can stick around for the dinner items to come out. These are often more varied and sometimes of better quality, meaning you have paid for the cheaper lunch option but enjoyed the dinner meal. 

• Etiquette – A few things to remember whilst heading to a buffet in Vegas – don’t eat in line, don’t touch food with your hands while in the buffet line, always take a fresh plate, and always leave a tip! 

• Comp buffets – Getting a free buffet at a hotel is easier than you may think. Whether it is singing up to a player’s card, reward card, or listening to a timeshare presentation; ask your hotel to see if there are any options for comped buffets. 

• Boarding Pass Players Club – This is a club that you can sign up for for free and save money on the breakfast income of the Stations Casinos. This includes Green Valley, Aliante Station, Red Rock, Texas Station, Palace Station, Santa Fe, Boulder Station, and Sunset Station. 

• Take small samples – These buffets offer a massive variety of food and you will want to try a bit of everything. Don’t fill up on large portions of anything and avoid things like bread, pizza, or pasta. Also, make sure to save room for dessert! 

• Wear comfortable pants – Do not underestimate how full you will feel after. Wear comfortable clothes (think stretchy pants or flown dresses) and do not plan a busy night after your dinner. 

• Holiday prices – If you plan on visiting on the 4th of July, Mother’s Day, or the Super Bowl, expect to pay more.

• Reserve – If you are visiting as a group, make sure to reserve your table at least the day before.
