Buffets in Vegas depend on your food tastes and dining preferences. With Vegas' incredible dining variety, I strongly recommend against those "buffet rates" where you get buffets at the same hotelfor the duration of your stay. There are simply too many good deals out there and too much variety as well -- plus you may not by hungry for a meal that you paid for already (often i'll grab light breakfast food, then maybe a moderate lunch ie pizza/salad, and then dine at a high-end dinner buffet when it opens at 4 pm). Typically I lean toward seafood. said, the Rio Seafood buffet (nearly $40 now with slip ,obster tails that can be really delicious or badly cooked/soggy), is good for a one-time thing if you've never partaked. The poor-man's version is the Fremont (downtown) Hotel/casino seafood buffet on Fri-Sun-Tues (last time I checked it was $16ish) -- not the classiest atmosphere or expansive buffet, but good quality food/variety for the $$$. Anither great seafood dinner option is Planet Hollywood's buffet -- about $25 and often cheaper (ie $5 coupon if you sign up for players club) featuring really high-quality food, white tablecloths and servers in a casual atmosphere (you dont have to get dressed up but it has a restaurant vs buffet feel for it). Seafood includes seafood neuberg, king crab and other delicasies -- with other cusine-themed (MidEast is awesome) stations so that there's something for everyone. Harrahs/Flamingo are often get-able for a $5 discount ($8-9ish for lunch and $12-13ish for dinner) via coupons that are often hnaded out in the courtyard between the Imperial Palace and Harrahs. If you're a guest at a Harrahs-branded hotel (those hotels plus Rio, Caesars, Ballys, Paris), you will probably receive these coupons in a coupon book at checkin. Speaking of Rio, its Carnival World Buffet is expansive gigantic -- and highly recommended for a late lunch as the price is a good $8 cheaper than dinner with pretty much the same food/offerings. Everything from snow crab legs and seafood to italian, teaks, pasta, mexican et al -- just walking the length of the buffet will work off 1000 calories lol. Again coupons can be had for $5 discount via Harrahs guests and often in local tourism magazines. Finally for a basic buffet, The Orleans is very reasonable and the food is decent (but not upper echelon quality). Especially for breakfast ($7 or less if I recall) it's the best quality value in town, with an expansive buffet and an omelette station. Lunch is along those lines too. Sometimes if you attend an event at the Orleans Arena, they'll give you BOGO coupons. In a special mention for a non-buffet, the Hard Rock Casino's Mr Luckys Cafe $7.77 steak and shrimp (with potato and salad) is a helluva deal offered 24/7 (the trick is you just have to ask for it -- the special is not on the menu as it originally began as a "locals' special").
