Paris is great - however seafood buffet at the Rio is unbelievable.

have fun.

mackie17: I thought so too, but thought things must have changed after reading a review on the above link (we were there about 4-5 years ago. A cabbie recommended it. They can be a wealth of info if you just ask! Glad you agree it was a real deal!

Maybe it's me or the only time I went, but thought the Rio buffet was lousy! Not only was the food fair at best but it was as crowded as Walmart the day after Thanksgiving.

The regular buffet at the Rio is the biggest, but has been known for years as just being OK. Now the seafood buffet there is another story!

My friends and I all felt sick after going to the buffet at the Flamingo, so I know I'll be avoiding that one when I go this summer!!!

The one at Paris is decent - really cute "village" environment. I'm a picky eater too, and I didn't find a whole lot to eat though...but what I had was good.

hands down bellagio buffet (dinner)- their sea bass is to die for!

What is cost of the dinner? Do you need reservations?

OK - best buffet is personal, but we have eaten our way through every buffet on the strip in Vegas except for Luxor, Mandalay Bay, and Monte Carlo. Here's my take. Best value for high quality food - Wynn's for lunch or dinner. Best breakfast Buffet - Paris. Next best breakfast buffet - the Big Kitchen at Bally's, especially if you like a smaller setting. Best moderately priced buffet at $13-$20 and most entertaining view - Paradise Garden at the Flamingo - the food is good and consistent if not overwhelming, although sometimes they excel, the staff is great, and the flamingos, coi, waterfalls, swans, ducks and other assorted creatures are beautiful. Bellagio's buffet has great food, but it is the most expensive and is unbelievably noisy because of all the hard surfaces. We ate there once and never again. MGM - good food, but the crowds are overwhelming. Treasure Island and Mirage - nothing to write home about. Best middle eastern buffet (there's a specialty category) - Alladin, although the service wasn't great.

What great responses you guys. Excited about all of the suggestions. Can't wait to try the Paris Buffet and the Wynn lunch or dinner buffet.

The buffet at the Rio is absolutely disgusting.

Bally's has a great buffet. I can't remember what it cost but I've been there on 2 different trips and it was inexpensive. I've heard Paris has an excellent one. Higher in price, but better choices.

Please DO NOT eat at the Rio.

We love the buffets at the Wynn and Bellagio. We used to like the Paris buffet, but didn't enjoy it last time. The worst ones we've ever been to were the MGM grand breakfast buffet and Bally's lunch buffet. There wasn't one thing on there that looked good.

The weeekend gourmet buffet at Bellagio was wonderful. Only problem was that I almost fell asleep at "O" afterwards. Lesson= don't go to a buffet so close to showtime!
The best was the "The Sterling Brunch" at Bally's on Sundays. Everyone should try it at least once.
Am thinking of trying the weekday dinner buffet at either Wynn or Bellagio this trip, in a few weeks.

Last week, we ate at two buffets. The first was at the Mirage for supper. It was about $50 for the two of us, and neither of us were impressed. It is very geared toward Asian food. The prime rib was excellent, but we just didn't find much we really wanted to eat other than that.

The second was an early supper at the Stratosphere. I think it was around $20/pp (I'm not sure because our meal was comped), and we really liked this buffet. The prime rib was good (just not quite the Mirage quality), but the selection was excellent. We also bought a $6 bottle of White Zinfandel to have with our meal, and suprisingly, it was pretty tasty! We had no great expectations for it at $6/bottle, but it was good! We noticed many tables had a bottle of wine (I think there were about five to choose from).
Hope this helps. Have a great trip!

Hello,
I thought Paris was slightly better than Bellagio for both breakfest and dinner. Since I was there about 10 months ago, Paris has added two stations, one featuring melted cheese over meat and vegetables, and one featuring grilled meats and seafood. I thought the crepes here were excellent. Check out the Paris hotel web site for all the information on the buffet. Also, for customer reviews of all things Vegas, go to www.ratelasvegas.com

I just returned from LV. In fact I ate last night at the Wynn Buffet for dinner. The Bellagio and Wynn are the best. We ate at the Gourmet Bellagio on Sat. night and it was wonderful and I do not care for Buffets as rule. This was very good, and the desserts are better at the Bellagio than the Wynn. The Wynn had cupcakes for one of there desset choices. This didn't make a strong WOW factor for me.

I second the buffet at Orleans. I thought it was a lot better than the seafood buffet at the Rio.

I also ate at the buffet in the Golden Nugget. It was good but not especially memorble.
