TIP: Vegas Unzipped have some amazing coupons for these buffets so make sure you check out the deals before your visit.
1. Wicked Spoon at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
An elegant and luxuriously decorated restaurant, Wicked Spoon is my ultimate favourite buffet in Vegas. Items are served in reasonable portion sizes with many options are 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, mini bakery area and some incredible cakes and chocolate delights. There is definitely a dessert for everyone in this Las Vegas buffet.

2. The Buffet at Wynn Las Vegas
Fitting with the perfection of the hotel, this buffets offers incredible decor and immaculately presented food which just so happens to taste delicious as well. The elaborately decorated and edible dessert cases are a showcase of this buffet whilst the food itself offers similar dishes to other buffets as well as the unusual dish you may have never tried or heard of.
One of our favourite parts of this buffet is the made to order dishes which includes Peking duck, fresh sushi, tacos and pancakes!

Creative Travel Rating: 8/10 (A great value buffet with a good variety of dishes).
3. Cravings at The Mirage
With 11 food stations with some amazing food, Cravings is another top choice of mine. The Asian food dishes taste authentic and all food is made with top quality ingredients. Unlike most other buffets, the Italian section offers more than just pizza; with some near perfect ravioli and pasta choices.
With unlimited drinks included in your package and prices being lower than most, personally, I think this is one of the best value buffets in Las Vegas.
Buffet info:
Price – Weekday breakfasts cost $18.99 whilst lunch costs $23.99. Mon – Thur dinner costs $29.99 whilst Fri – Sun dinner costs $32.99. Weekend brunch costs $28.99 with unlimited champagne available for an additional charge.

4. Bacchanal Buffet at Caesar's Palace
With Japanese design, this restaurant offers a sophisticated take on all you can eat buffets. There are some great cooked to order choices as well as nine different kitchens offering food from around the world. Try the house-smoked brisket and BBQ ribs. There are also an array of options for vegetarians and vegans.
Their specialities include:

Creative Travel Rating: 6/10 (Amazing food but a bit pricey compared to other buffets of a similar standard).
5. The Buffet at Bellagio
In keeping with the Italian themed hotel, the decor reflects an Italian village town complete with detailed art work. 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.
Buffet info:
Prices – Breakfast costs $24.99, lunch costs $27.99 and dinner costs $38.99. Weekend Brunch costs $33.99 whilst the Unlimited Champagne Brunch costs just $48.99!
Hours – Similar to other buffets, weekday buffets run from 7 am to 11 am, lunch runs 11 am to 3 pm and dinner runs 3 pm to 10 pm. Weekend Brunch runs from 7 am to 3 pm.
Creative Travel Rating: 7/10 (Dishes aren’t as varied but the quality of food is great and prices are lower than many of its competitors).
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 section 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.
Buffet info:
Prices – Breakfast costs $24.99 (including complimentary Bloody Mary bar, champagne, mimosas, beer and wine) whilst lunch starts at $17.99 and dinner costs at $24.99. The popular Prime Rib Brunch costs $24.99 and the amazing Seafood Buffet costs $41.99.

Creative Travel Rating: 9/10 (I can’t say no to seafood and this place offers an amazing selection plus prices are super affordable).
7. The Buffet at Aria
The buffet itself isn’t that new but it is a new buffet featured on this post! We pride ourselves in keeping you up to date with the best options available and this excessive and delicious buffet had to be mentioned.
This buffet prices itself on its authentic Tandoor Oven offering the best naan bread in town, alongside its fresh seafood selection. The gourmet carvery station is a favourite of mine with an incredible variety of high-quality meat. This buffet really does include food from around the world, more so than any other. Sample the Latin dishes for something new and feast on the Indian cuisine.
On top of all of this, you can also pay just $19.99 for unlimited alcohol drinks including champagne and premium beer and wine.

Creative Travel Rating: 10/10 (This is a modern and affordable buffet with so many fantastic options! You will find something you LOVE here, guaranteed!)
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 favourite 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 a bit bland.
Must-try specialities:
- Truffle macaroni and cheese
- Prime rib
- Snow crab legs
Buffet info:
Prices – Breakfast starts at $21.99 on weekdays and rises to $23.99 on weekends. Champagne brunch costs $30.99 whilst dinner every night of the week costs $30.99.
Hours – Breakfast runs from 7 am to 10 am and Champagne brunch runs every day from 10 am to 3 pm. Dinner runs from 3 pm to 10 pm on weekdays and 11 p on weekends.
Creative Travel Rating: 7/10 (If you love French food, this is the place for you. A good value and cheap buffet in Las Vegas; especially good for those travelling with children).
9. Sterling Brunch at Bally's
Each Sunday the Sterling becomes a Sunday Brunch spectacular; known for its ostrich Tenderloin, Maine Lobster, Roasted crab legs, Caviar and Champagne. Held at Lobster Buffet in Bally’s hotel, this steak and champagne extravaganza is a must for anyone looking to splurge whilst in Vegas.
Buffet info:
Prices – This popular buffet is a pricey one, starting at $90. If you get yourself a players card (free from the hotel casino), you can save $5.
Hours – This buffet runs every Sunday at 9.30am.
Creative Travel Rating: 9/10 if you love seafood and meats.
How to save money in Vegas
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 specialities, 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 to 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, omelette 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.
- A.Y.C.E at Palms Casino Resort – This buffet has seven different food stations as well as vegan and anti-inflammatory options too. Breakfast stats at $15.99 and you can enjoy bottomless mimosas during Sunday Brunch.
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 lunch time, 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 to for free and save money on 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 fo 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 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.

Heading to Vegas? These apps and posts can help you make the most out of your trip:
- Vegaster – This app is super useful for booking reservations and getting good deals whilst visiting Las Vegas.
- Vegas.com – A thorough guide to all things Vegas. Always check the deals section to save money on shows, tours and even hotel bookings.
- Las Vegas Pass – If you are in Vegas for a while and want to do more than visit casinos and hotels, this pass is a great option; particularly if you are visiting as a couple or family. You can save money on attractions but it is also a great motivation for you to move away from that relaxing pool or air-conditioned hotel room and see beyond the strip.
- Las Vegas Big Bus – Vegas is much bigger than most people initially may think. If you are short on time but want to take in the major sights, I would highly recommend catching a Las Vegas Sightseeing bus to get you from A to B.

I usually can’t believe other people’s review. But your rating is perfect that I mostly agree
Have enjoyed the Wicked Spoon two times. Absolutely love the small portions of delicately prepared food. Great hash browns topped with cheese. Good scrambled eggs. Wonderful tofu in a tasty sauce. Loved the gelato. And to top it off Jollie Ranchers and hot cinnamon jawbreakers.

Absolutely stunning! Thank you on a detailed impressive collection!
I’ll admit that I’m not normally a buffet person unless it is for breakfast or brunch, but wow, these all look amazing. I visited Vegas this past year when buffets weren’t happening, but I’ll have to experience one of these when I eventually go back. 🙂
We are (hopefully – if Covid allows) travelling from the UK for a Vegas vow renewal ceremony in August. We were going to book Bellagios restaurant but having read this, I may just have to go for one of these amazing buffets wedding dress ad all instead and walk past the fountains later. I really want to go to the flowery Wynn!
Wow, I’d love to go to a buffet again when the world settles down! There are certainly plenty of fabulous looking ones in Vegas, so thanks for the inspiration!
I actually love going to a buffet at least once while I’m on a trip – no matter what country I’m in. These ones in Vegas all look great!
