Best Buffets of Las Vegas

1. Wicked Spoon at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

An elegant and luxuriously decorated restaurant, Wicked Spoon is my ultimate favorite buffet in Vegas and our number one on this list of best buffets of Las Vegas. On our first trip to Vegas, this was the number 1 restaurant we wanted to try and it didn’t disappoint!

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 and one of the best buffets of Las Vegas.

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 a dessert for everyone in this Las Vegas buffet.

The Cosmopolitan Hotel is also one of the best Las Vegas hotels for couples! We did get engaged here so I may be biased but we would highly recommend it as a place to enjoy the things to do in Las Vegas for couples.

5. The Buffet at Bellagio

The Bellagio Hotel is one of the many reasons to visit Las Vegas because of its incredible theming and style. AND, you guessed it, it is also home to one of the best buffets of Las Vegas.

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.

Bellagio is a great place to spend some time and is home to plenty of the best places to eat in Vegas too!

Hours – Brunch runs from 8am to 3pm on Monday to Wednesday and then until 1pm on Thursday to Sunday. Seafood Dinner runs from 1pm to 8pm from Thursday to Sunday.

6. MGM Grand Buffet

The MGM Grand Buffet is another one of the best buffets of Las Vegas, especially for those looking for a diverse variety of food and cuisine. There is plenty of different types of cuisines in the buffet, perfect for picky eaters and families. 

This is one of our favorite places to enjoy breakfast in Vegas too.There are healthy options available but we loved that they have such a selection, especially for breakfast. From sushi & salad to egg Benedicts and French toast. There is a live egg station where you can make-your-own omelettes. 

As you prepare for the things to know before going to Las Vegas, make sure to take note that not all buffets are open each day of the week.

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. Drag Brunch at Señor Frog’s, Treasure Island

For a very different type of brunch, head to Señor Frog’s. Enjoy a tasty brunch whilst watching performances by drag queens and female impersonators.

This experience is less about the food and more about having a good fun time with friends.

Prices – General Admission includes brunch and unlimited Mimosas and costs $72. A VIP seat, buffet brunch, full open bar and Meet & Greet is all included in the VIP package, costing $96.

Hours – There are 2 shoes each day, one starting at 11am and one at 2pm.

Creative Travel Rating:  10/10 for entertainment, 5/10 for brunch. This is a very different type of experience, so it would be unfair to grade the food as anything more than standard, but the whole event is great fun. This may not be one of the best buffets of Las Vegas in regard to just the food, but the entertainment makes up for it.

8. Border Brunch, Mandalay Bay

Another different type of brunch, a Mexican treat! Border Grill is a Mexican restaurant, located in Mandalay Bay, spread across two floors including an al fresco patio and outdoor bar.

Creative Travel Rating: 8/10 (you don’t get as much variety but the taste and unique flavors of this brunch, plus the fantastic value, makes this one of our best buffets of Las Vegas).

9. Market Place Buffet, JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa

Located in a hotel slightly further away from the center of the strip, this buffet is often overlooked and doesn’t offer as much variety as some of the other buffets on this list. However, the affordability and themed nights, make up for the smaller size.

That being said, the dining area is expansive, seating over 700 guests, and also has an outdoor patio. It is a much more casual buffet than some of those mentioned above, with TV’s on the walls so you can watch a game whilst you dine.

When looking is Las Vegas expensive, there are plenty of ways to spend a lot but also many ways to save money, like visiting some of the cheaper buffets of Las Vegas.

Tips for visiting the best buffets of Las Vegas

• 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!  These are all great options when looking for the best buffets of Las Vegas.

• 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 you can use it to see the best buffets of Las Vegas on a budget. 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 best buffets of Las Vegas 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. These best buffets of Las Vegas are the perfect way to celebrate on special occasions but just make sure to do the next step if you are visiting on a national holiday.
