Bellagio

Normally I'd agree. When I think buffet I usually think of the horrid hotel breakfast buffets. ( I tried to go around the "free" buffet once by ordering a paid breakfast but caught the waitress getting everything but the eggs from the buffet line )

A couple years back though I arrived in Las Vegas on a Sunday to set up for a trade show. I arrived at 9AM but couldn't get into the convention center until 2PM. So I decided to check out the buffet at the Bellagio. It was pretty impressive. And while the large slab of scrambled eggs is usually the worst thing, there was a cook available to fix omlettes or fried eggs to order for you.

I don't remember it being terribly cheap, but it was a pretty nice buffet.

The buffett at Paris Las Vegas is good. They have a nice variety of entrees and great desserts.

Hands down, the best buffet ever (Vegas or otherwise) has got to be the Saturday and Sunday Champagne Brunch at the Wynn Hotel. It is a bit on the expensive side, but definitely worth it! Perfect Eggs Benedict, sushi, prime rib, omlete station and even dim sum! It's worth the $35 you pay, even if it's for the unlimited champagne!

The Bellagio is wonderful.Steve Wynn built Bellagio so I am willing to bet the Wynn is fantastic.BTW for what you get 35.00 is cheap. Its all about value in Vegas and you get the best value when you spend a little extra.

When I went to Vegas last year, I went to a buffet at the Aladdin resort - oh my god. All other buffets pale in comparison.

(And don't even get me started on their desserts! Yum!)

I agree with Chris. Bellagio has the best buffet on Friday and Saturday nights.

If you are doing the "Vegas on $25 a day" thing, check out Green Valley Ranch or New Orleans. They hit the spot, especially after a long night of drinking.

I spent a good deal of time in Vegas, and found that the Rio's World Carnival Buffet was quite good -- I recall they had two or three big Mongolian BBQ tables running in parallel, which was quite impressive. Texas Station was also one of the top buffets. For me, the quality of the food was the most important criterion for judging a good buffet.

Some of the best experiences in Vegas aren't on The Strip, and these two buffets are no exception. You'll find The Rio a klick from the uptown Vegas strip, and and Texas Station is just off of downtown Vegas, where you don't want to miss the gritty "Fremont Street experience", which attracts all the serious gamblers. It's my favorite place to lose money!

This was years ago, however. The most astonishing thing I experienced in Veags was how fast things change. I'm certainly going to look up the Bellagio buffet next time I'm in town, that is if it's still around.

And there are idiots who wonder why there are so many obese people...

The worst thing about a buffet is having to touch the same utensils as everyone else. Consider that many of the food poisoning “epidemics” on cruise ships are because someone did not wash their hands after taking a dump before proceeding to the buffet line. Everyone is likely using the same utensils so everyone is sharing the same fecal matter. It sucks but it is a fact of life. Think about that next time you eat at a buffet and also think about that before you blame the hotel buffet for your upset stomach.

I love food immensely but this is a situation where ignorance is bliss...

I can vouch for the breakfast buffet at Paris -- in addition to lovely crepes, they have a very lean sausage (possibly veal? it's not pink) that is must-eat for me every time I'm in town.

When I was in Vegas a few years back, I thought that the lunch buffet at the Luxor hotel was the best deal. What I really liked about it was that they had lots of salads, appetizers, and vegetables done creatively.

Buffet = large quantities of cheap food for fat people.

I think the buffet at Treasure Island is delicious. It's called Dishes, I think.

Jackie is right, the buffet at the Wynn is an incredible deal and it has great food. I'm a buffet junkie and I'm not overweight in the least. I love being able to eat as much or as little of an item as you want and not have to worry about value. Granted there is often poor food served at most buffets but good quality ones can be found. The Rio's buffet was quite good too. I haven't been to the Bellagio's or Paris' but I will next time I'm in Vegas.
