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. But, as you'll soon see, there are budget-friendly options too.
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. 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.
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.
