What would you rate as the best and worst casino buffets these days? Don't get up there all that often (I'm in Phoenix), but I check a buffet or two when I'm there.

I think the best would have to be the Rio's buffet. It's a little pricey, but they have EVERYTHING. For the money, I think any of the Station Casinos' buffets are pretty good. I dont know if all of these have buffets, but some of those casinos are Texas, Fiesta, Fiesta Henderson, Green Vally Ranch, Santa Fe, Palace Station to name a few.

as far as the worst, I dont make it into many casinos, and it seems the rest are about equal. Rio is the only one that stands out.

The Aladin has an excellent  buffet called Spice Market. You will have to try that one if you get out this way. Also, Mandalay Bay has a pretty good buffet as well.

If you want a little of "Old School Vegas" then you have to try the Sunday brunch at The Steak House at Circus Circus. Not too many locals even know that place is still around. The atmosphere reminds me of the 70's, the service is EXCELLENT and the food is just as good. They have a small traditional bufffet but you choose entrees from the menu as well. They have rack of lamb, filet mignon and other entrees to choose from. They have fresh squeezed orange juice and to me, that's a sign of a quality place.

thanks,
Ron

You get what you pay for at the buffets, so price is a reasonable indication of quality. Usually better quality at the mid and south areas of the Strip.....(as well as off-Strip; Palms, Rio, GVR, etc.)

Sam's Town is decent.  The crab legs at Flamingo were salty as hell, probably to keep you from eating too many.

I like the Rio the best...its not that expensive at all..i belive $18 a person. They have EVERYTHING there and it all tastes great to me. If you want a nice place to sit down and eat a nice meal w/o breaking the bank then the garden cafe at the belligio is a great place. I take most people that come into town there and they love the garden setting outside the venue and the open air atmostphere. I took my family there (8 of us all together) and the entire bill came to about 160 bucks...thats not bad at all...

Another vote for the Aladdin Spice market,Belagio is very good and Paris too.If you want the best brunch/buffet it would have to be the Sterling at Bally's but it's not cheap at 75.00 per person.

The worst in my opinion would be Terribles casino,The Boardwalk and the Gold Coast.

Off the strip my vote goes for Sam's Town and the Texas station and Palace station are all good.

My official ranking:

1. Wynn $35
2. Bellagio
3. Rio

There are two Rio buffets. The seafood one is $30ish.

If you love seafood, nothing beats Paris buffet.....I think the worst is Wild Bills, but that's way out of the way!

I once stopped in this truck stop off Tropicana on my many trips between Carson and Phoenix (went to college in the PEE AYCH ECKS), it had the best ding-danged truck stop waffles you'll ever have.

The place didn't have no ants or cockroaches or nothin'!

Well, it had one cockroach, and it was a huge motherfucker. It was back behind the grill, flippin' pancakes and spittin' in your onion rings.

Come to think of it, that truck stop buffet sucked, but the price was much to my liking!

(I wrapped a towel around my head, jumped on the table, shouted ALLAH ACKBAR! while waving around a shoe box, once the place emptied, I just simply disappeared into the crowd)

This was also back when I fancied myself a diciple of the great Terrance McKenna and did a whole hell of a lot of naturally-occurring psychadelics, so this may have not actually happened.

Actually.... go to the Makino over at the Factory Outdoor Mall downtown. That place caters to Japanese tourists and the quality is slightly better.

This line just about explains your posting style.
