These Are Las Vegas' Top Ranked All-You-Can-Eat Buffets
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
Once upon a time, Las Vegas was known as the home of cheap breakfasts meant to lure gamblers into the casinos at all hours—but a lot has changed since Sin City's marquees billed 99-cent steak and eggs with a side of Keno.
Vegas buffets have grown ever more elaborate and over-the-top, competing to outdo each other with more stations, more dishes, and more square footage. And the prices have followed suit: The most coveted buffets in the city are as pricey as they are opulent, with notable chef tie-ins, inventive plating, and live-action cooking stations. But, as you'll soon see, there are budget-friendly options too.
The golden age of the Las Vegas buffet hit a snag when the Covid pandemic briefly shuttered casinos and changed the way people think about food safety. After closures, some buffets in town came back as big and bold as ever to meet pent-up demand, while others didn't come back at all. Only time will tell how history treats the buffet experience in the long run.
For now, whether you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience or a budget-friendly way to fill up for a day or night out on the town, these Las Vegas buffets have something lots of things for everyone.
Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace
The Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace is the quintessential Vegas buffet for ballers (or ballers at heart). It took the buffet experience to the next level when it opened back in 2012, and in 2021—after more than a year of renovation and a multimillion-dollar investment—the behemoth buffet reopened with major upgrades and improvements. One of the largest buffets in town, Bacchanal spans more than 25,000 square feet with 10 kitchens, nine chef-staffed action stations, and more than 250 menu items.
Cost: Starts at $80 per adult
The Buffet at Wynn
You'll find a slew of Vegas buffet greatest hits at The Buffet at The Wynn—with 16 food kitchens (including a new eggs Benedict station), a Latin street food station, and even a sushi bar. Designed by Executive Chef Jason Duarte, the buffet offers more than 90 dishes in a bright and airy environment.
Cost: $47 to $51 per adult for brunch; $66 to $71 for dinner
The Buffet at Bellagio
Bellagio features dishes well beyond the standard all-you-can-eat fare, with Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and American cuisines and live-action cooking stations. Desserts include fresh pastries and a personalized gelato stand.
Cost: $45 to $50 per adult for brunch; $67 to $75 for dinner (both with a $25 beverage add-on option)
Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan
With a market dining experience, the Wicked Spoon is unique among other buffets on the Strip. Instead of large-batch buffets, here you'll find never-ending tapas-style dishes presented with style. There are made-to-order signature dishes for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner amid a chic, cool atmosphere consistent with the Cosmopolitan image.
Cost: $38 to $49 per adult for breakfast/brunch; $45 per adult for lunch (all with a $24 to $40 bottomless drink add-on option)
The Buffet at Excalibur
Not as posh as some of the other MGM resorts' buffets, the buffet at Excalibur is a good option at an accessible price point. It offers endless variety for whatever you crave—think daily pizza specials, a carving station, nigiri sushi rolls, homemade pozole, and made-to-order crepes and omelets.
Cost: $29 to $32 per adult for brunch, with a $15 optional all-you-can-drink add-on
The Buffet at Luxor
The buffet at the Luxor is another wallet-friendly alternative to some of the other over-the-top buffets in town, but it offers plenty of solid options. It has a huge 30-foot salad bar, homemade pizza station, a carving station, an omelet station, dishes inspired by global fare, and a dessert station with freshly baked pastries and sugar-free options.
Cost: $29 to $32 per adult for brunch
Circus Buffet at Circus Circus

MGM Grand
Located in the MGM Grand casino, the MGM Grand buffet is a solid mid-tier option with an expansive spread for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Think made-to-order eggs, pancakes, pasta, ribs, seafood, and tons of dessert. Bonus: Children five years and under eat complimentary at all meals.
Cost: $28 through $37 per adult, with a $22 to $26 optional bottomless drink package add-on

Market Place Buffet
The Market Place Buffet at Rampart Casino is the only buffet in Northwest Las Vegas.

Cost: $25 per adult for weekday lunch; $40 for weekday dinner; $43 for weekend buffet
Señor Frog's Drag Brunch
Sure, Señor Frog’s Drag Brunch has an expansive buffet—and you'll need it to soak up the alcohol—but the real draw is the drag show (and the open bar). The raucous ticketed event within Treasure Island is 21 and up only.
Cost: Tickets starting at $90
Nabe Hot Pot
Bottomless sushi and shabu-shabu is the name of the game at Nabe Hot Pot, with a huge menu that includes dozens of sushi roll options, as well as nigiri. For the late-nighters, there's an even more affordable hot pot-only option, available until closing at 2 a.m.
