Vegas Buffet Do’s and Don’ts

If you’re on a budget, you may want to avoid weekend dinners at the higher-end buffets. When money is a concern, stick with lunch buffets, especially during the week. The food options are mostly the same as dinner but the prices are much lower.

• DO arrive before 6:00 for dinner to avoid long lines
• DON’T arrive after 9:00 for dinner or 2:00 for lunch in order to avoid eating lukewarm food
• DO try food items you don’t normally eat
• DON’T eat the same food items you can eat any time (i.e. lettuce salads, mac n’ cheese, etc)
• DO tip your waiter
• DON’T tip your waiter more than $2 per person (they’re just refilling your drinks and removing your empty plates!)
• DO eat more than you can handle
• DON’T worry about eating too much – it’s VEGAS!

FAQs

A Final Serving of Vegas Buffets

Coming to Vegas and not experiencing a super buffet is like going to Coney Island and not eating a Nathan’s Hot Dog…driving up to Vale and not hitting the slopes…or flying to Paris and not visiting the Eiffel Tower!

Take some time before your trip to scout out your most mouthwatering buffet, at whatever your budget. Be sure to contact your chosen eatery to check for specialty nights and holiday specials, and the most up-to-date prices according to the day of the week and mealtime.

Remember, it will be at a Las Vegas Superbuffet that you’ll serve, eat, repeat like never before!
