I absolutely do a buffet but it's usually only something like Wicked Spoon at The Cosmo.

 

I have no idea why people rate buffets in Vegas so poorly. I've eaten at some of the nicest restaurants in Las Vegas and enjoy them just fine but I certainly love to buffet for breakfast. Our typical routine is eat breakfast at a buffet 9-10am or so usually Bellagio, Cosmo, or CP buffets then eat at a fine dining restaurant for dinners. The 3 buffets I listed have some delicious options, can't say a bad thing about any of the buffets mentioned. I also like Wynn, Mandalay Bay, and Aria buffets.

 

You seem to be saying what a lot of us are saying here: a better buffet for brecky works, but not for dinner.

 

Agreed. And I think most would acknowledge that the higher end lunch/dinner buffets have good food as well, the problem just becomes value. For the $50-70 they charge you can get a much better meal, with a much better atmosphere at a plethora of restaurants in Vegas.

For breakfast, it is going to run you at least $20pp at the coffee shop for breakfast by the time you get your eggs, hash browns, bacon, toast, coffee/juice and throw in the tip. You can get most breakfast buffets for around or under $20.

 

I guess we area all different. Part of my excitement for my next Vegas trip later this year IS the BUFFETS.....I'm gonna hit the Aria-Cosmo-Bellagio- buffets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner....

I'm pumped up.....I even called the head chef up at Aria and talked to him....... i'm gonna have steak-meatloaf-veal parmagian-chicken parmagian-lasagna-lobster-shrimp jumbo-prime rib-pepper steak-egg rolls-chow mein-sweet and sour chicken-omlets-pancakes-raisin toast with cream cheese=French toast with lots of syrup-ice cream-cheese cake.......... and much more...I forgot lots of meatballs and polish sausage....

 

It's that the way you want to roll, more power to you.

 

I used to do buffets during my early Vegas trips, but didn't start again until last year when I was at Aria for a convention. I think I had some Mlife comps and needed a place for lunch... well- Aria's buffet was awesome. So good, in fact, I went back a few weeks ago while staying at Cosmo. I also tried MB's lunch buffet but Aria's (in my opinion) was much better. Huge selection and great atmosphere.

I'm staying at Bellagio in Nov. so may give their's a try, but I've heard it isn't what it used to be....??

 

Put me in the "not really" camp, but if I were to pick a meal to Buffet, it would probably be Breakfast because I like a cooked to order omelet, a little smoked salmon, and fruit. A big turn off is the long line, I would rather have McDonalds than wait more than 15 minutes as the Diamonds, Platinums, and 7 Stars skip the line. No class envy here because in life there's no free lunch, everybody pays in one way or another.

 

Gotta love king crab legs and prime rib

The Wynn seems to be the best buffet, followed by Aria ....I need to try that Wicked Spoons at Cosmo though.

 

Brecky? Good Lord, how old are you...12?
