Best buffets list?
Someone wrote: : Did anyone happen to keep track and compile all the : info on the "Best buffets in Vegas"? I can tell you 2 of the best. The seafood fantasy at the Fremont is great and I reccomend the Mirage also.
Someone wrote: > Did anyone happen to keep track and compile all the > info on the "Best buffets in Vegas"? > Steve I don't think anyone kept a list. But here is what we found on our trip to LV the weekend before thanksgiving. Ceasar's Palatium: Lunch Buffet $9. The food was OK for the price. They had a good pasta service. Nicely prepared chicken -- plus the standards (ham & roast beef racks). Very good salad bar with a huge italian sub. What made this buffet worthwile were the deserts!! (sp?) They were fantastic. Besides an excellent ice cream and yogurt bar (with all the toppings like the yogurt joints), they had an incredicle baked goods section. The baked goods were the best we had in Vegas, bar none. Bally's Big Kitchen: Lunch Buffet $8(?). All I remember was the huge tray of peel-and-eat shrimp -- already peeled. Definitely a shrimp fanatics dream -- mega consumption possible :-) Otherwise a very good selection of breakfast and lunch/dinner food. Flamingo Champagne Brunch (sundays) $13. Smoked Salmon plus a zillion other things for the pefect brunch. Plus served in their showroom for a nicer atmosphere. Notice that I did not hit any of the $5.95 type of buffets. Somebody else will have to supply that information Happy chowing, Tom B. Article 724 of alt.vacation.las-vegas:
I would rate the buffets in Vegas thusly... 1. Rio 2. Palace Station (Boulder Station is said to be identical) 3. Bally's 4. Golden Nugget 5. Mirage 6. Treasure Island 7. Riviera 8. Sands 9. Imperial Palace (both buffets) 10. Caesar's Palace The ones I would avoid are the Tropicana, Circus Circus, Excalibur and anything downtown except the Golden Nugget.

You're really missing out if you don't try the "Seafood Fantasy" at the
Fremont. They have it 3 times a week,Someone wrote: > >Did anyone happen to keep track and compile all the >info on the "Best buffets in Vegas"? > Steve Our local newspaper, the Review/Journal, has a newspaper poll each year. The buffet at the Golden Nugget won hands down until 2 years ago when the Rio opened their remodeled "Carnival" buffet (since expanded again from 5 food stations to 9). The past year, the top 3 votegetters in order were: 1) Rio 2) Golden Nugget 3) Bally's Others highly rated are Mirage, Caesars, Palace Station, and the Fremont hotel downtown (on Tue, Fri, and Sun only when they have their Seafood Fantasy version). - GARY FISCHER [email removed] Article 773 of alt.vacation.las-vegas:

Riviera >8. Sands >9. Imperial Palace (both buffets) >10. Caesar's Palace To my taste, the Riv and Sands are only one step above CC. And your tenth pick, Caesar's Palace, is one of the very best. I agree that the selection is not as wide as the Rio, but the quality of the food is probably better. One of the things I like about Palace Station is that they seem to vary the entrees more than most, and usually have some weird dessert. Dave Feldman

For dinner, I consider the Golden Nugget and Mirage to be the best in town, a notch above Rio and Boulder Station, which are also excellent. I realize this is a matter of personal taste. Two things that I like about Mirage and Nugget is that they ALWAYS carve fresh turkey and both have world-class salad bars.

Not only is there variety, there is actually *good food* there, which may surprise many who've soured on the notion of buffet food. I've also tried Treasure Island when a friend visited recently: It's more expensive than the Rio (about $10 as opposed to $8 or something) and did not have as much variety, but it was still pretty good. A question: Has anyone tried The Mirage buffet? I've heard good things but have not had the time to get out and investigate for myself.
An Awesome Buffet at Mirage...........dinner with all the fresh shrimp & snow crab you can crack & eat, along with 100 other items including strawberry soup (my favorite).

The were very well prepared frozen shrimp. Tasty, but they had been frozen. The Rio buffet is really good - I had breakfast there one AM and it was a toss up as to whether it or the Mirage was better. For a real treat, the Sunday AM brunch buffet at the gourmet room of the Tropicana is excellent - omelet &, belgian waffles made to order, caviar, sushi, antipasto, fresh squeezed OJ, champagne (Korbel, I think), roast beef, pastries, ice cream sundaes, etc. It was about $27 when I last had it. - Edmund , who lives near the biggest shrimp areas in the US
