Bacchanal Buffet

Bacchanal Buffet

Bacchanal at Caesars Palace is the Strip's definitive buffet — ~10 kitchens, 9 action stations, king crab to wagyu. 2026 prices ~$65 brunch to ~$95 weekend dinner; a reservation doubles as a line pass past hour-long queues.

Is Bacchanal Buffet Worth It? Honest Review & What to Order

Bacchanal is the buffet the word was invented for — 25,000 square feet at Caesars Palace, roughly ten kitchens and nine chef-attended action stations turning out a rotating spread in the 250-dish range (the '500-plus' banner is marketing arithmetic), from dim sum and king crab through prime rib, wagyu, and roaming dessert carts. The Infatuation still ranks it the Strip's best, and the lines agree.

The 2026 price board drifts upward and by daypart: regular brunch around $65, the weekend crab-and-seafood brunch $80-92, weekday dinner $80-87, weekend dinner $85-95 — with kids' pricing roughly half. Tables carry a 90-minute limit. Treat the cashier's board as the truth; buffet prices in Vegas age faster than any guide.

The single most valuable fact: a reservation (OpenTable or Caesars) functions as a LINE PASS — check in at the host stand and skip a walk-up queue that exceeds an hour at peak. Go at 4pm or 8pm rather than the 6pm crush, aim the seafood-inclined at the weekend crab brunch, and pace the first plate like a reconnaissance lap, not a commitment.

Insider tip Book OpenTable even for two people — the reservation is a line pass that skips a 60-90 minute walk-up queue — and go at 4pm or 8pm, never 6. First lap is scouting only: the action stations (carved prime rib, made-to-order seafood) beat anything sitting under a heat lamp.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

2026 brackets: regular brunch ~$65, weekend crab-and-seafood brunch $80-92, weekday dinner $80-87, weekend dinner $85-95; kids 5-10 roughly half. Prices drift constantly — the cashier's board at check-in is authoritative.

How do I skip the line?

Reserve via OpenTable or Caesars — the booking works as a line pass: check in at the host stand and bypass the walk-up queue, which tops an hour at peak. Caesars Rewards members also get a priority lane.

What's actually good?

The chef-attended action stations: carved prime rib, made-to-order seafood, dim sum, and the weekend king-crab spread. The roaming carts (foie-gras PB&J among them) reward alertness; skip anything that looks like it's been waiting.

How long can I stay?

Ninety minutes — enforced at busy dayparts. It's ample for three intelligent laps; it punishes the warm-up-plate strategy.

When should I go?

Off-peak: 4pm or after 8pm dodges the 6pm crush; weekday brunch runs calmest. The weekend seafood brunch justifies its premium for crab-focused eaters.
