The Best Buffets in Las Vegas
At number three on the list is the buffet at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. The quality of the food is excellent, although the price is expensive. The Bellagio has live-action cooking stations with high quality food from Italy, China, Japan, and around the world. They also have a good selection of seafood, sushi, carved meats, and gourmet desserts. The buffet dining rooms are big and fancy, providing a worthy setting for such fine food. The Bellagio’s buffet is very popular and the line can be extremely long at times. Breakfast is $12.95, lunch $18.95, champagne brunch is $28.95, and dinner is $26.95 Sunday through Thursday and $34.95 on Friday and Saturday. If the price were a bit more reasonable, this would probably be number two on my list. More information is available at: http://www.bellagiolasvegas.com/pages/din_casual.asp
My second favorite buffet is Dishes at Treasure Island. Dishes is the best value of my three favorites. Breakfast is $12, lunch is $15, champagne brunch $15, and dinner is $20 Sunday through Thursday and $26 on Friday and Saturday. If price is a big concern, I would recommend this as my top pick. The food, in my opinion, is just as good as the food at the Bellagio buffet, but at a lower price. Dishes has several live-action cooking stations with food from around the world. There is a barbeque station that has southern specialties in addition to the barbeque meats. There is also an Asian food station, that includes fresh sushi, a pizza station, a pasta station, a salad station, and a bakery and dessert station. The design of the room is modern and sleek so you feel as though you are in a fancy restaurant. The live action cooking stations, where your food is cooked to order, are a vast improvement over the heat lamps of old school buffets.

And my favorite buffet is at the Wynn Las Vegas. The atmosphere at the Wynn buffet is bright and airy, which makes it feel more like California than Vegas to me. Like the Bellagio and Treasure Island, the Wynn buffet has several live action cooking stations and food from regions around the world. In fact, the food quality, variety, and selection is similar at the Wynn and the Bellagio. What makes the Wynn stand out though is their exceptional desserts. If you are a dessert lover, the Wynn is definitely the place for you. The ever changing, decadent array of desserts will force you to eat much more than you had planned on. An additional favorite of mine is the granola station that serves up fresh granola with an assortment of fresh fruit and yogurt that they stir together for you. The food, the desserts, and the atmosphere make this my pick for best buffet in Las Vegas. The prices are expensive with breakfast being $15.95, lunch is $19.95, champagne brunch $31.95, and $31.95 for dinner Monday through Thursday and $35.95 on Friday and Saturday. It is expensive, but it may be the only meal you need for the entire day. For more information on the internet, go to: http://www.wynnlasvegas.com/index.jsp
Once again, you can’t go wrong with any of the three buffets listed above. The food is great at all three and there is so much variety that you are bound to find several things you will enjoy. I have one tip that may save you money. If you go to a buffet while one meal time is ending and the next is beginning, you may save yourself some money. For instance, if you are going for lunch and you arrive 15 minutes before lunch is served, you will be able to pay the breakfast price but eat both breakfast and lunch foods. This works in most cases, but some casinos may have a lag time in between meals to prevent this. It can’t hurt to try though. Good luck and enjoy your next trip to Vegas.
