Buffets at casino's are not your Old Country Buffet buffet.  The quality is a notch higher... not bad.  IIRC I ate at a restaurant called Anthony's that was real good, I liked the wild boar.

There are buffets, and then there are Vegas buffets.  No trip to Vegas is complete for me without a visit to the buffet at Paris.  The room is made up like a small French village, with stations representing the different gastronomic regions.  Awesome!

Plenty of good places to eat, both restaurants and buffets.  Enjoy!
