The Best Buffets in Las Vegas in 2025: On and Off the Strip

Tips for Enjoying Las Vegas Buffets
Timing is Key: Arrive early to avoid long lines, especially at popular buffets.
Expensive Buffet Strategy: With expensive buffets like Bacchanal, Wynn, and Bellagio, don't eat the cheap carbs like pizza, bread, salads, pasta; instead focus on steak, lamb, like crab/lobster, pork, sausage. If you have to have a side dish, keep it small like a small salad, soup.
Check for Deals: Many buffets offer discounts for locals, seniors, or early-bird diners. Look for coupons or promotions online.
Pace Yourself: With so many options, it’s easy to overindulge. Start with small portions and save room for dessert!
