He's pretty fussy when it comes to dining, so it must be pretty good. We have had very good meals at Spago and Coyote Grill (the dining room not the casual restaurant). Have a great time, Bonnie

>Honestly, where is the best place to eat Seafood in Las Vegas?
While I haven't tried every restaurant in LV, my favorite seafood restaurant (indeed one of my favorite "any" restaurants) is Emeril's New Orleans Fish House. It's located in the MGM Grand. My wife and I ate there on our last trip over Labor Day weekend, and it was fantastic.

Why, the incredible multi-restaurant (9 different restaurants, I believe) buffet at the Rio - _that's_ the one to try! It runs 24 hours a day, there are many stations, with different kinds of food, it's enormous, and unlike anything I've ever seen!
I would recomend both buffets at the Rio Suites and Casino......by far the best hotel in Vegas, their buffets rule......Their Carnival Buffett is always recognized as one of the biggest in Vegas....I believe it has 10 different stations that has everything from a Mongolion BBQ to a sushi bar, a mexican area to a chinese one......The Seafood Buffet at the Rio is one of the best feasts I have ever had......It is around $20 for dinner.....They have lobster, crab, about 6 types of fish prepared everyway possible, shrimp enchiladas, pastas........mussels, clams, just about anything possible.......The only bad thing about the seafood buffet at the Rio is that it is always packed......When I was up there the last weekend in May, the wait on the Sat night was over 2 hours long.......I would go real early or real late, but either way it is worth the wait..........have fun.....Joshua

A few of the best buffets are Golden Nugget downtown, Rio (take the shuttle from the Barabary Coast - DO NOT WALK), Mirage (sunday champagne), and Palace Station. A wonderful sit down restaurant that you can take a taxi to is the Garlic Cafe. Menu has a garlic rating, help is friendly and the price is very reasonable (wife and & w/wine for $50 total).
I just wanted to second Jjerky's comments on the Rio - if you don't eat at the Carnival at LEAST once, you've wasted a trip to LV. If you want some sit-down dining, there is a terrific italian place called the Venecian (sp?) - it's owned by 2 brothers and is off the strip, but it is fantastic. I had new year's dinner there a couple of years ago, and still dream of it! :) jeff Someone wrote: > I would recomend both buffets at the Rio Suites and Casino......by far the best > hotel in Vegas, their buffets rule......Their Carnival Buffett is always > recognized as one of the biggest in Vegas....I believe it has 10 different > stations that has everything from a Mongolion BBQ to a sushi bar, a mexican > area to a chinese one......The Seafood Buffet at the Rio is one of the best > feasts I have ever had......It is around $20 for dinner.....They have lobster, > crab, about 6 types of fish prepared everyway possible, shrimp enchiladas, > pastas........mussels, clams, just about anything possible.......The only bad > thing about the seafood buffet at the Rio is that it is always packed......When > I was up there the last weekend in May, the wait on the Sat night was over 2 > hours long.......I would go real early or real late, but either way it is worth > the wait..........have fun.....Joshua
Any of the "Station" buffets are good. Like Main Street, Palace Station, SUnset Station, etc. The waiters do serve drinks, but that's about all they serve, everything else is serve yourself buffet style. None of these are on the Strip though, but very good and less crowded. THere is also great variety of "ethnic" foods, Japanese, MExican, etc. For more traditional foods, try Bally's big kitchen, MIrage Buffet and Caesars' but expect long lines if you go at "regular" times (like 12 for lunch or 7 for dinner). Try a little earlier or later. If you're looking for champagne brunches, Bally's is supposed to be the best (and expensive, 49.95). We stayed at the Golden Nugget downtown and theirs was good and much less expensive. THe FIesta has MExican specialties and margaritas instead of champagne for their brunch, if you want something different. Happy gambling!

There is no other like it. i might be the only one with this opinion from what i've seen on this board, but i thought the rio buffet was awful. there was a lot of food, but most of it was tasteless and boring. the few things i thought i really wanted had such long lines i never got to them. my brother eats there every time he's in las vegas and had me all hyped up to go there. now he thinks i'm nuts, but i wouldn't go back on a bet.

You're not the only one who feels that way. I stay at the Rio a lot, so I do eat there occasionally (you don't have to stand in line if you're staying there). While there are a lot of choices, none of the food is particularly good. It mostly tastes like bland, buffet food. Usually the only buffet food I like is breakfast/brunch, cuz I love it all!! The Riviera has a pretty good brunch buffet on the weekends. It's pretty cheap ($5-6) and they make you omelettes as you wait. All the cheap (and I mean CHEAP) champagne you can drink...mixed with a little OJ it's drinkable. The brunch buffets at Mirage and Caesars are better but way more expensive (so not worth it to me).

The reason I didn't care too much for the buffet was because the food just wasn't that good. There WAS a large variety, but the Chinese would taste like what you'd get a fast-food Chinese place, the Mexican would taste like what you'd get from an Ortega frozen dinner, etc. While there were a lot of choices, they all tasted like buffet food to me. Still it's okay I suppose if you just want a lot of food for the money (which is the really the point of a buffet)...just nothing to get excited over.
