The best buffets in Las Vegas in November 2026 are Bacchanal at Caesars Palace, The Buffet at Wynn and The Buffet at Bellagio, but Las Vegas Advisor counts just 11 buffets still operating in town, and several serve dinner only a few days a week. Below are nine hotels with a buffet worth planning around, the meals and days each one serves, published prices with sources and dates, and the buffets that have closed for good.
Quick answer
Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace is the best buffet in Las Vegas for a splurge, with dinner listed at $86.99 to $91.99. The Buffet at Wynn is the best for seafood, serving brunch and dinner every day ($79.99 dinner, per Wynn), and The Buffet at Bellagio is the best value at a luxury hotel, from $44.99, though it serves dinner only on weekends. Off the Strip, South Point serves dinner nightly from $37.95.
How we checked: we read the buffet pages and price sheets of Wynn, South Point, Circus Circus and Rio, Bellagio’s buffet page (checked in October), news reports on closures and Las Vegas Advisor’s buffet directory and monthly buffet updates, on Nov. 4, 2026. Prices exclude tax and tip and change often, especially on holidays. Our hotel review method explains how we pick hotels.
The nine picks, in order:
- Caesars Palace: best splurge buffet
- Wynn Las Vegas: best for seafood every day
- Bellagio: best value at a luxury hotel
- The Cosmopolitan: best brunch
- South Point: best value with dinner every night
- Palms: best off-Strip dinner variety
- Excalibur: best budget brunch on the Strip
- Main Street Station: best downtown buffet

1. Caesars Palace: Best Splurge Buffet
Best Splurge Buffet
Caesars Palace
- Garden of the Gods pools
- The Colosseum
- Forum Shops
- Celebrity-chef dining
Bacchanal Buffet covers more than 25,000 square feet, per Caesars, and it’s the Strip’s most expensive buffet. Brunch, with crab, runs Friday through Sunday, and dinner is served every day.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
Bacchanal is the one to book if the buffet is the event. Las Vegas Advisor lists the weekend crab brunch at $86.99, weekday dinner at $86.99 and weekend dinner at $91.99, and it has reported a Friday-to-Sunday early brunch from 9 to 11 a.m. for $69.99 without crab (as of November 2026). Reservations aren’t required, but you can book on OpenTable or by phone, which beats a weekend line. Our Caesars Palace review covers the towers upstairs.
Watch out for: no brunch Monday through Thursday, a resort fee of $54.95 plus tax (as of October 2026) and garage fees for hotel guests below Caesars Rewards Platinum.
2. Wynn Las Vegas: Best for Seafood Every Day
Best for Seafood Every Day
Wynn Las Vegas
- Free guest self-parking
- Five-Star Tower Suites & spa
- Wynn Golf Club
- Lake of Dreams
The Buffet at Wynn has 16 live kitchens and serves a Gourmet Brunch daily from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and a Seafood Gourmet Dinner daily from 1 to 9 p.m. Wynn’s page lists $59.99 for brunch and $79.99 for dinner, plus tax.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
Wynn and Bacchanal are the only luxury buffets on the Strip with dinner seven days a week, and Wynn’s dinner starts at 1 p.m., so a late lunch counts. Children 3 to 9 pay half price, each visit includes up to two hours, and an Endless Pour package adds $32.99. Wynn says The Buffet “does not take reservations,” but it sells prepaid priority seating for $5 a person, opening 30 days ahead for parties of up to six; you’re typically seated within 30 minutes of your time. Wynn also parks hotel guests free (as of October 2026). Our Bellagio vs Wynn comparison weighs the two hotels.
Watch out for: special hours. Wynn posted special hours, 1 to 9 p.m., for Nov. 3–4 and 17–18, and it says prices can change on holidays, holiday weekends and peak periods. Las Vegas Advisor reported a $5 increase in June, so check the price on Wynn’s booking page.
3. Bellagio: Best Value at a Luxury Hotel
Best Value at a Luxury Hotel
Bellagio Las Vegas
- Fountain-view rooms

After its March price cut, Bellagio’s weekday brunch is the cheapest way into a luxury-hotel buffet on the Strip. Kids 5 and under eat free and kids 6 to 11 pay half price, per Bellagio (as of October 2026). Las Vegas Advisor notes a paid line pass sold on the buffet’s site, which costs $20 to $30 more.
Watch out for: no dinner Monday through Friday. If dinner is the plan on a weeknight, walk to Wynn or Caesars Palace instead.
4. The Cosmopolitan: Best Brunch
Best Brunch
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
- Terrace rooms
- Marquee Dayclub
- The Chandelier bar
- MICHELIN-recognized dining
Wicked Spoon serves its dishes in individual portions, in small bowls and pots, instead of serving trays. Brunch runs daily from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at $54.99 on weekdays and $59.99 on weekends, per Las Vegas Advisor.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
Wicked Spoon is the most restaurant-like buffet in town, because the dishes come plated in small portions. Since October 2026 it has run one brunch service in place of separate breakfast and lunch. Kids 6 to 10 pay $30 for weekend brunch, per Las Vegas Advisor.
Watch out for: no dinner listed, so don’t plan an evening around it, and a resort fee of $55 plus tax with $20-a-day guest self-parking (as of October 2026).

Palms parks guests free, self or valet (as of October 2026).
Watch out for: a 1.5-hour limit on brunch with bottomless mimosas, and a $43.99 resort fee plus tax (as of October 2026).

It’s the cheapest daily buffet on the Strip and a sensible family stop: kids 5 to 11 pay $18.99 on weekdays and $19.99 on Fridays. For more south-Strip family options, see our family hotels in Las Vegas.
Watch out for: no dinner service, a $45 resort fee plus tax and $20-a-day guest self-parking (as of October 2026).

Watch out for: conflicting price reports. The Fremont Street Experience partner page lists lower prices, and Las Vegas Advisor reported a weekend-brunch increase to $33.99 with new brunch days, so expect anything from about $24 to $34.
9. Circus Circus: Cheapest Weekend Buffet on the Strip
Cheapest Weekend Buffet
Circus Circus Hotel, Casino & Theme Park
- Adventuredome theme park
- Free circus acts
- Free parking
- Carnival Cove splash zone

In August the buffet ran Friday and Saturday breakfast ($29.95) and Saturday and Sunday dinner ($34.95). Parking is free, a rarity on the Strip (as of October 2026).

Buffets that closed, so don’t plan around them
- MGM Grand Buffet: closed permanently on May 31, 2026. Our MGM Grand review covers what’s left for dining.
- Carnival World Buffet, Rio: Rio’s FAQ says it “was closed in 2020 and will not reopen.” The Kitchen Table, open daily, has a breakfast buffet.
- The Buffet at Luxor: its official page has redirected to the dining directory since July 2025.
- Station Casinos’ buffets: Red Rock’s and Green Valley Ranch’s dining pages list no buffet (Nov. 4, 2026).
- Studio B, M Resort: not on Las Vegas Advisor’s list of operating buffets, which shows only a $99 Sunday brunch at Anthony’s Prime Steak & Seafood. Call M Resort before you drive out.
- The Mirage: closed in July 2024, buffet included.
Brunch-only buffets and other options
A few restaurants run buffet-style brunches once a week, per Las Vegas Advisor: the House of Blues Gospel Brunch at Mandalay Bay (Sunday, 10 a.m.–1 p.m., $70.50), Buddy V’s Sunday brunch buffet at The Venetian ($55) and La Cave’s weekend brunch at Wynn ($54). In Summerlin, the Market Place Buffet at The Resort at Summerlin, the former Rampart, serves lunch, dinner and a weekend champagne brunch.
How to choose a hotel for its buffet
- Check the dinner days first. Wynn, Caesars Palace, South Point and Palms serve dinner daily. Bellagio serves it only on Saturday and Sunday, Main Street Station on Friday and Saturday, and The Cosmopolitan and Excalibur not at all.
- Go at brunch for value. Bellagio’s weekday brunch ($44.99) costs $35 less than Wynn’s dinner ($79.99), and Wynn’s dinner starts at 1 p.m.
- Use a free club card off the Strip. South Point and Main Street Station price their buffets lower for club members; at South Point one card covers two adults.
- Mind the clock. Wynn includes up to two hours, and Palms caps brunch with bottomless mimosas at 1.5 hours.
- Avoid peak weekends. Wynn warns of holiday price changes, and Las Vegas Advisor expects higher prices around race week and Thanksgiving.
- Count the fees. A buffet won’t offset a high resort fee and paid parking; our guide to Las Vegas resort fees and our list of hotels with free breakfast help you price the whole stay. Some rates include a breakfast or dining credit instead.
