image of the best buffet in las vegas

Other than the amazing sceneries, the mind-blowing gaming and entertainment experiences as well as the luxurious high resorts and hotels, Las Vegas is also known for its legendary buffets. A lot has since changed in the city especially thanks to the arrival of celebrity chefs and seemingly over-the-top dining options. Even so, all-you-can-eat buffets are still a pretty big deal and they are not going anywhere anytime soon.

Now that you know that gluttony is one of the other sins that are acceptable in Sin City, you might be wondering where to find the best buffets. There are several dozens or even hundreds of these spread out across the city and while visiting each of them would be a great adventure, sometimes you may just want to narrow your search down to specific kinds.

Thankfully, we did all of the heavy lifting for you by trying out as many buffets as we can (empathy is accepted, thank you). In this guide, we are going to help you narrow down the best possible buffet for you by listing the ones that stood out for us as well as all the Las Vegas buffet prices you can expect. As the title suggests, we are listing them by type to make everything easier for you.

Note: the Vegas buffet prices can vary depending on the time of year or events so be mindful to check ahead of time in case any prices here are outdated by the time you visit.

Breakfast Buffet (Las Vegas)

If you’re like us and enjoy a buffet breakfast as the first thing in Vegas, we’re confident we’ve found the best breakfast buffet in Las Vegas depending on your budget.

To avoid going into the same details as already-mentioned places, here’s a quick summary of all you’ll need:

  1. A.Y.C.E. Buffet at Palms Vegas – $15.99 per person. Since their recent renovation A.Y.C.E. Buffet tops our list for Vegas breakfast buffet options, Palms have knocked it out of the park with their unique breakfast options from quiches to tapioca pudding garnished with delicious fruit. If you plan on eating breakfast buffets frequently, we’d recommend getting a Player’s Card for the worthwhile discount, which, in our opinion solidified A.Y.C.E. Buffet at Palms as the best breakfast buffet in Las Vegas.
  2. Excalibur Breakfast – $19.99 per person, $14.99 for drinks (we recommend paying drinks separately) or ‘All-Day’ wristband including breakfast (prices vary). The All-Day pass is great value for smaller families and, in our opinion, as good as local breakfast alternatives in terms of value and quality.
  3. Bellagio Breakfast Buffet – $26.99 per person (with optional extras). This one is a little on the expensive end for what it offers and we would recommend grabbing a drink and pastry from the Bellagio lobby instead, but for those nearby (or staying) and looking for a breakfast buffet and doesn’t mind the steeper price point, this will certainly do the job just fine.

Asian Buffet (Las Vegas)

Makino Sushi & Seafood Buffet

There were limited Vegan options unfortunately but all the spots below including the ‘vegetarian’-labelled restaurants respectfully (and compassionately) catered to our Vegan requests as much as we felt they could so we hope you’ll have some luck with your experiences, too!

Violette’s Vegan Organic Café & Juice Bar

This buffet has worked so hard to redefined the dining experience by making the vegan food tastier and more accessible to their guests. Since it is a completely vegan buffet, the cuisines are all natural – no artificial ingredients, additives, or GMOs are added to the mix. To make it even better, the food is pretty affordable which gives people even more incentive to try out some healthy eating.
