Any thoughts?

It's a tie between The Rio(so many stations!) and The Mirage(champagne,shrimp and those desserts!)

5 years ago it was the Rio.
It went downhill fast after Harrah's bought the place.
Now it's no better than Excalibur.

Bellagio, Paris, Mirage.

Paris has the BEST buffet.
The rio USED to be our favorite. However, it's so true, it went downhill
very badly. Last time we went a while
back, couldn't even stomach most of the food except the Mongolian food station.
And as for the Mirage, it was laughable
I mean HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.
And we got a free buffet there, and it was still HORRIBLE.
Paris had fabulous fresh excellent food.
Belleagio is okayh if you like really weird meat dishes, but we've never tried the Bellagio one.

I'll add a thumbs down on Rio.
We were there last summer, and following advice that Rio was best (We obviously hadn't found this board), we went.
It was forgettable. I remember thinking, "If this is the best, what's the worst like?"

Paris IS the best. Holiday menu is incredible!

Personally, I find the food prices in Las Vegas reasonable enough that you can have real table service without needing to resort to a buffet. I'm just NOT a buffet person....

Has anyone ever eaten at the Golden Nugget buffet? We ate at the Carson Street Cafe and found the food good and affordable. Was wondering how the buffet compares in quality.

Depends on what you eat. My favorite is Bellagio because of the wide wariety of fish,shellfish (pre cut king crab), game, wellington, sushi, and debateably mislabeled but nevertheless good-kobe beef. Their desserts are awesome, too. They also serve unlimited champagne sometimes and pour a decent Freixenet Cava (costs extra - you don't have a choice when they do this, puts the price at ~$31).

Found Mandalay to be quite poor in comparison.

Didn't eat at Paris but found the dishes (by reading the menu) to be very saucy and fat/dairy heavy (i.e. classic French). Liking Paris would depend on one's dietary likes/needs. I find Bellagio to have a more generic appeal.

We found the seafood buffet at the Rio to be ok. The quality of the seafood was decent and the amount of choices was fantastic. But that being said, it is a buffet--take it for what it is. Buffets offer quantity, not necessarily quality.

First I noticed that someone had posted the Venetian as a candidate for best buffet. Unless they have opened one in the last year, they do not have a buffet.
I would vote for Ceasar's and Bellagio. Two to NEVER, NEVER try are Excalibar and Flamingo!
