Bacchanal at Caesars Palace is the definitive Las Vegas buffet: roughly $65 for brunch and $85 to $95 for weekend dinner in 2026. Many others never reopened after 2020, so the list of survivors is shorter than older guides suggest.

Still running at our last check

  • Bacchanal, Caesars Palace: 25,000 square feet, about ten kitchens and nine chef-attended stations, king crab to wagyu. A 90-minute table limit. A reservation works as a line pass; the walk-up queue at peak passes an hour, so book, or go at 4 p.m. or after 8.
  • Wicked Spoon, The Cosmopolitan: the individually portioned one, now daytime only, about $48 to $59, no dinner. Reportedly among the last MGM buffets slated to close by 2027, so go while it lasts.
  • The Buffet at Wynn.
  • A.Y.C.E. at the Palms: the value pick, with lobster on holiday lines.
  • South Point's Garden Buffet and Main Street Station's Garden Court Downtown: cheap and cheerful, $30 to $45.

Several more live on at the locals' casinos. MGM Resorts is winding the format down, so check before you plan a meal around one.

Picks by need

  • Seafood: Bacchanal's weekend crab brunch, $80 to $92.
  • Value: Wicked Spoon undercuts Bacchanal by $20 to $35 at comparable meals, and the gelato counter alone justifies it. South Point and Main Street Station are a third of the price and honest about it.
  • Kids: roughly half price at all of them.
  • Holidays: Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners carry a $10 to $20 premium.

Buffet prices age faster than any other number we track, so trust the cashier's board. Pages: Bacchanal, Wicked Spoon; the wider map in where to eat in Las Vegas.
