The vast majority of folks visit Vegas once, maybe twice in their lifetime.
It's not possible to accurately rate any eatery by a single experience. Often
the buffets that are great for breakfast are mediocre for dinner and vice
versa. And the Vegas buffets are notoriously inconsistant... a buffet that's
wonderful one day can easily be disppointing the next. The regular restaurants
offer far better quality and that quality is definitely more consistant. But
regardless where one eats in Vegas they will consistantly receive better fare
at much lower cost than anywhere else on the planet Vegas buffets are
strictly a gamble... what else is new.

Probably very true. I wish I could remember the name of the place that
we ate at on Flamingo Road. It was a steak place that was excellent.
Damn... I guess that it's true, the memory is the second thing to go. ;-)

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake
when you make it again.

having lived in vegas for 10 years i found these to be my personal favs:

the seafood buffet at the rio, the horseshoe downtown use have one in the
early 90's that was MUCH better but as of 3 years ago no more....

i really LOVE the texas buffet......

the golden nuggett has a good buffett

most of the station casinos are famous for thier buffets

and if $$ is no object, most of your major strip buffets are very good, like
the mirage, belagio, paris etc...

the newest buffet rave b4 i left was "specialty" buffets, i went to one. it
was suppose to some sort of argentinian or brazillian steak/meat house. the
servers came by with meat that was cook on a sword spit and rotisserie
style....it was around 35 per person and the food was VERY VERY dry. never
went back.

MY FAVORITE!........Sushi house manda its on Sahara east, err well not any
more...i just found their website... http://www.sushihousemanda.com/ and
they are moving

One of the top 3 shushi buffet i have been to.

Yup. I live near Atlantic City. So far, my two favorite AC casino
buffets are the Virginia City buffet in the Wild Wild West part of
Bally's casino and the buffet at the Borgota. Both are around $21
for dinner. I have also heard very good reviews of the buffet at
Harrah's, which is near the Borgota, but I haven't tried it yet.

You know, sometimes statistics can be outright silly. How does one
make a fractional visit to Las Vegas, or anywhere else? I suspect
the average visitor to Vegas goes twice a year. I am about average
in that regard. I am leaving for Vegas (from Philadelphia) this
Wednesday after work. My previous visit to Las Vegas was in May
for a conference. Prior to that, I went in March for another
conference, both of which I was an invited guest.

By the way, a new buffet opened up recently in the Mirage. That
buffet is getting rave reviews. I have not tried it yet so I can't
comment on it from personal experience.

Statistically, don't most married couples in the U.S. have a
fractional child? Lol

It's called Cravings. Strange name, I think. Anyway I've seen both
good and not so good reviews on this one. The Rio buffet was also
recently revamped. The Aladdin buffet is my own favorite. I'm hoping
that the Planet Hollywood Group, which recently took over the Aladdin,
are not going to mess with it. Personally, I don't have much
confidence in them, based on their past record.

The DH refuses to eat at a buffet. He says that, after 4 years in the
Marines, he was never standing in line for food again :-)

Yep. No military service here, but when I dine out I want to be served.
Day after day I have my own "buffet", e.g. "Greg's kitchen"...when I pay to
dine out *they* serve *me*.
