7 Buffets in Las Vegas You Can Still Try in 2025
Buffets were once a defining part of the Las Vegas experience. Before the pandemic, nearly every major resort had one, each competing to outdo the next with bigger spreads, longer crab legs, and cheaper deals.
Then COVID hit, and most shut down. Some, like the Mirage Buffet and Aria’s Buffet, never reopened.
Today, only a handful remain. But what’s left is a tighter, more deliberate lineup.
Gone are the low-cost loss leaders packed with filler. In their place, you’ll generally find curated menus, better ingredients, and upgraded dining spaces.
Apart from the occasional spike, search interest in Las Vegas buffets has dropped nearly 49% since 2021 (see the Google Trends chart below).
But if you’re still chasing the all-you-can-eat experience, here are seven buffets that are not only still standing in 2025, but they’re still worth visiting.
Below, you’ll find hours, pricing, and what makes each one worth your time.
- Best Overall: Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace
- Best Value: MGM Grand Buffet
- Best for Brunch: The Buffet at Wynn
Best Buffets in Las Vegas Still Active in 2025
Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace
If there’s one buffet that still feels like classic, over-the-top Vegas, it’s Bacchanal at Caesars Palace. With nine open kitchens and over 250 rotating dishes, there’s something for everyone. You’ll find everything from prime rib to dim sum to gelato for dessert.
Reviewers frequently mention the sheer variety, calling out the crab legs, short ribs, and tacos as standouts. Others appreciate the clean, modern setting and attentive staff, especially compared to the more dated buffets on the Strip.
That said, the experience isn’t cheap, and reviews occasionally note long lines and rushed service if you show up without a reservation. Still, at a 4.0 rating from over 13,000 reviews, most agree it’s worth the price if you want the “buffet spectacle” Vegas used to be known for.
Pricing: Around $64.99+ per adult (varies by day and demand)
Hours: Crab brunch on Saturday & Sunday, 9 AM – 3 PM. Dinner served daily, 2:30 PM – 9 PM (until 10 PM on weekends)
Wicked Spoon at The Cosmopolitan
Wicked Spoon at The Cosmopolitan helped change the Vegas buffet scene by offering individually plated portions instead of bulk trays. That approach still defines the experience today, but the buffet has changed, now focusing entirely on brunch, with a tighter menu and a more curated feel.
Expect dishes like bone marrow with short rib, Cajun shrimp and grits, dim sum, and house-made gelato. The presentation is a step up from most Strip buffets, and the dining room feels modern and well-kept.
Wicket Spoon is well-reviewed, and diners often praise its creativity and quality, especially when compared to traditional buffets that prioritize volume. Wicked Spoon even made it into our list of the Best brunch in Las Vegas.
That said, it doesn’t offer the biggest spread, and some reviews mention slower restocking during peak hours. Still, with a 4.2 rating and a consistent brunch crowd, Wicked Spoon remains a popular buffet for people who’d rather eat well than endlessly.
Pricing: $47 on weekdays, $54 on weekends; bottomless drinks add $30 (90-minute limit)
Hours: Daily, 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
The Buffet at Wynn Las Vegas
Wynn’s buffet feels more like a high-end restaurant than an all-you-can-eat line-up.
The space is elegant, the food stations are well-designed, and the attention to detail is noticeable, from the quality of ingredients to the way each dish is presented.
Brunch includes a mix of staples and fine-dining options like lobster Benedict, prime rib, made-to-order crepes, dim sum, and fresh juices.
Dinner leans heavily into seafood, with chilled crab legs, sushi, and rotating global dishes. Many reviewers on Reddit, Google, and beyond mention the freshness and variety of the food, and it consistently earns praise for being clean, well-organized, and one of the best-kept buffets still running on the Strip.
That said, some diners feel that the pricing is high for what you get, especially during slower service hours, and the wait to get in can be lengthy if you arrive during peak times.
But with a 4.1 rating from over 11,000 reviews, most agree it’s one of the few buffets that still feels like a complete Vegas dining experience.
Pricing: Typically $55–$75 per adult depending on time and day
Hours: Daily brunch from 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM. Dinner from 1:00 PM – 9:00 PM
The Buffet at Bellagio
The Buffet at Bellagio blends the classic Vegas buffet with a touch of elegance. I mean come on, did you expect anything less?
You will find a wide range of international dishes (Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and American), alongside a few higher-end options that include seafood and charcuterie, along with a generous dessert station.
Brunch includes everything from made-to-order omelets to dim sum, while dinner (on weekends) brings out chilled crab legs, roast meats, and upscale sides.
It’s also one of the more family-friendly buffets, with kids under five eating free and discounted pricing for older children. That makes it a great buffet to visit before you head to a family-friendly show.
With a 3.8 rating from over 7,000 reviews, Bellagio’s buffet is a good pick if you’re in the area and looking to experience a buffet. It delivers, without the chaos of larger restaurants.
Pricing: Around $54.99 for brunch; $74.99 for weekend dinner; $29.99 for bottomless drinks (90-minute limit); kids 6–11 eat for 50% off.
Hours: Brunch served Monday–Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM and Saturday–Sunday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Dinner is available Saturday–Sunday from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
MGM Grand Buffet
The MGM Grand Buffet is one of the few remaining affordable buffets on the Strip. It’s a no-frills setup, but for the price, it delivers on the basics, especially if you’re after a classic breakfast or brunch.
You’ll find all the staples. Scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, and an omelet station that reviewers seem to love. As the day goes on, the buffet adds in lunch items like BBQ chicken, carved meats, mac and cheese, and a build-your-own salad bar. There’s also a modest dessert section with pastries and pies.
Like we said, this buffet is great value, especially for those staying at MGM Grand or nearby.
It’s not trying to compete with Wynn or Bacchanal, but it doesn’t need to. MGM Grand’s buffet is a reliable choice if you want to eat well without going overboard.
Pricing: $32.99 Monday–Thursday; $38.99 Friday; $43.99 Saturday & Sunday (mimosa brunch)
Hours: Open Friday–Tuesday, 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM; closed Wednesday and Thursday
Excalibur Buffet
Excalibur is another affordable buffet. It might not have the variety of the higher-end buffets, but if you’re after a simple brunch with bottomless drinks, it gets the job done.
You’ll find the usual spread of breakfast and lunch items, eggs, sausage, pancakes, pizza, pasta, salad, and a carving station. The setup is straightforward, and while it doesn’t change much day to day, it’s consistent.
There’s also a self-serve dessert area with cookies, soft-serve ice cream, and cakes.
It’s also popular with families and budget-conscious travelers staying in the south Strip area. With a 3.7 rating from nearly 4,000 reviews, it’s not fancy, but it’s familiar, and that’s part of the appeal.
Pricing: $32.99 Monday–Thursday; $38.99 Friday. $43.99 Saturday & Sunday (mimosa brunch); children 5–11 eat at a discounted rate
Hours: Open daily from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Genting Palace at Resorts World
Tucked inside the Famous Foods Street Eats hall at Resorts World, you will find Genting Palace, and this buffet takes a different approach.
It’s smaller than most on the Strip and only open for dinner, but if you are into seafood, then this is the buffet for you.
Expect a focused selection of chilled crab legs, oysters, shrimp, and rotating hot dishes like roasted meats, noodle bowls, and Asian-inspired sides.
The price is on the higher side, especially for the limited variety, but if you’re here for the seafood and don’t need 15 different stations, you can’t go wrong.
Pricing: Around $70 per adult (varies slightly by night)
Hours: Open Wednesday to Sunday, 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM. Closed Monday and Tuesday
Bonus: Circus Circus Buffet
Technically, the buffet at Circus Circus is still open on weekends. But unless you’re staying at the hotel and want something quick, most visitors tend to skip it.
The lineup includes basic breakfast and dinner items, such as scrambled eggs, pasta, pizza, and a few hot entrees, but the quality and variety are limited.
This isn’t a luxury buffet by any means, but for families staying at Circus Circus or looking for a quick, affordable meal on-site, it does the job. Reviews are mixed, with a 2.9 average from just over 1,100 guests. Some note the convenience, while others suggest managing expectations when it comes to variety and presentation.
Pricing: Varies (typically under $30)
Hours: Open Friday–Sunday, with breakfast from 7:30 AM – 11:00 AM. Dinner is served from 4:30 PM – 10:00 PM
