The best buffets in Las Vegas

It doesn’t get much more iconic than this: Eat your way around the world by sampling the Bellagio buffet’s Japanese, Italian, Chinese and American eats after enjoying the show at their open cooking stations. Just make sure to pick something that complements your mojito or fresh peach bellini. Or your jean shorts (the dress code is refreshingly casual). There’s almost always a line during peak hours, but you can typically nab a table pretty quickly during lunchtime and brunch.

In the mood for sashimi, prime rib, wood-fired pizza, stuffed grape leaves, oxtail soup or enchiladas? You can have ’em all at the Studio B buffet at M Resort, which serves up more than 200 dishes per day. Also among those dishes are some seriously indulgent desserts, including lemon meringue pie and crepes. The space is decorated with more than 100 massive screens, so you can learn about cooking by watching Food Network shows while noshing and sipping your beer or wine.

You can create your own dish at the made-to-order teppanyaki station at The Rio‘s Carnival World Buffet. If that’s not your thing, its multitude of world cuisines are bound to make your mouth water nonetheless—the seafood, dim sum, Brazilian and Vietnamese options ensure that there’s something for everyone, and that you’ll want to go back for more almost as soon as you’ve left.

Set in the beautiful Wynn Hotel, this buffet sits at the perfect intersection of fine dining and unbridled gluttony. Like every other place on this list, The Buffet features dishes from all over the world—waffle-battered fried chicken and Wagyu lasagna, among them. But just as exciting as digging into its vegan, vegetarian and very, very meaty options is just hanging out in the dining room. Their 15 live-action cooking stations put on quite a show, and the seriously fantastical, colorful decor will make you feel like you’ve stepped into a delicious culinary fairytale.

While not as big as other buffets, the Buffet at Treasure Island is a fair bit cheaper. But the selection is no less vast, offering barbecue, Italian, sushi, Chinese and prime rib. You can also tack on unlimited beer and wine for $12.50 per person.

There are few things that could stop a dessert-lover in their tracks when facing down a massive dessert stand of cookies, cake pops and a gourmet gelato bar (think strawberry balsamic and salted caramel peanut). And yet the savory options at The Cosmopolitan‘s Wicked Spoon buffet may do just that. Best of all, the chefs portion out manageable dishes of lamb, roasted bone marrow, Italian classics and truffled scalloped potatoes to help save you from overeating (it’s still all you can eat, though). One Wall Street Journal writer also called it one of the best restaurants in America.
