The Best Buffets in Las Vegas, According to Eater Editors

For decades the buffets were loss leaders, operated with the goal of getting people in the door to part them with their money on the casino floor. It’s only in recent years that buffets started to be good — with updated furnishings, thoughtful menus, carving stations, and super fresh seafood.

Leading up to 2020, Las Vegas had more than 70 buffets inside casinos, spanning from Aliante to Henderson, Summerlin to the Strip, serving gourmet fare at various stations. Nowadays, options are more limited, though these buffets remain favorites among tourists. On this update, MGM Grand Buffet, which closed in late May 2026, leaves the list.

Culinary trailblazers back in the 1940s found a way to keep gamblers inside Las Vegas resorts with cheap food, and lots of it. El Rancho Vegas, the Strip’s first resort, came up with the Chuck Wagon, the earliest version of the modern-day buffet in Vegas.

Chickpeas

The buffet at Chickpeas is inflected with Iranian and Southeast Asian flavors, a unique blend that speaks to the experience and point of view of executive chef Pawan Jalota and his two sous chefs. Persian staples like beef kofta, stewed lamb shank, dolmeh, and Shirazi salad meld at the same counters with richly charred tandoori chicken, a kachumber-style salad, and basmati rice.

Even better: Buffet access will only set diners back $20.

Market Place Buffet

The 12,000-square-foot Market Place Buffet at Rampart Casino has a weekly schedule that includes a $32.99 prime rib dinner on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

On Saturday and Sunday, the popular Champagne brunch is $33.99, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. And there’s a Hawaiian-themed $32.99 Aloha Night Dinner on Saturdays from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m.

All buffets are discounted for Rampart Plus, Summerlin, Premier, and Elite Card holders.

Genting Palace

While Resorts World went for a food hall rather than a casino buffet when it opened in 2021, its Genting Palace restaurant offers a stellar buffet on Sundays.

The all-you-can-eat model is a white tablecloth affair, with a buffet counter taking up residency in the ornate dining room beneath floral-patterned wallpaper and geometric light fixtures. The stars here are the Beijing duck, Alaskan king crab, and crisp pork belly.

Seafood takes the form of shucked oysters served on the half shell and super plump cocktail shrimp. Hot Chinese dishes look like shiitake mushrooms with fried tofu and a carving station for Cantonese-style fried pork belly. At $68.88, it comes in under some of the Strip’s higher-ticket seafood buffets.

The Buffet at Wynn

Perhaps the prettiest buffet in Las Vegas features 16 live-action cooking stations with rotisserie grilled steakhouse cuts, coast-to-coast seafood, a new eggs Benedict station, and a Latin Street Food station. In total, you’ll find more than 90 delicious dishes, including a wide range of made-to-order choices.

Brunch goes from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and seafood dinner is from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. The popular brunch starts at $59.99 for adults with add-ons like unlimited mimosas, wine and beer starting at $32.99.

You can reserve and pre-pay online to avoid waiting.

Imperial Sushi Seafood Buffet

For many people, seafood is the main attraction at any buffet.

If you’re one of those people, head to Imperial Sushi for a buffet that regularly features fried shrimp, raw clams, crab claws, and rows and rows of sushi. Weekend dinner, which includes snow crab legs and lobster, is $44.99 for adults, and prices throughout the week decrease from there to $27.99 for weekday lunch.

Buddy V’s Ristorante

Sunday brunch is an all-you-can-eat affair at celebrity chef Buddy Valastro’s Italian restaurant at the Grand Canal Shops at the Venetian Resort.

It’s $55 per person or $24 for kids under 10.

Bacchanal Buffet

The 25,000-square-foot, 600-seat Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace reopened with throngs of crowds waiting to explore the nine open, interactive kitchens, with many of its more than 250 dishes already individually prepared, shared, or plated in real-time by staff from behind the counters.

Garden Buffet

Off-Strip, buffet lovers can head to South Point’s Garden Buffet.

Anthony’s Prime Steak & Seafood

Every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the M Resort’s steakhouse hosts a brunch buffet. While dinner here looks like $100 cuts of steak and Australian lobster tail, brunch offers morning dishes like French toast and omelets, plus seafood selections of snow crab legs and shrimp cocktail, and steakhouse staples like lobster tail, beef Wellington, and succulent slabs of prime rib.

The $99 price tag may feel more at home on the Las Vegas Strip — visible from Anthony’s enviable patio seating — but roasted lamb chops, icy crab claws, and crème brûlée help make its limited reservations some of the most sought-after in Henderson.
