Any must have desserts in Vegas?
So far I'm planning to hit the Hash House a Go Go; Buffet @ Ceasers; Buffet @ Cosmo; and Nobu. Any other suggestions ranging up to say $100-$150 per person?
Then there is the Cheesecake Factory @ Forum Shops / Caesar's. You get a lot of variety of damn satisfying cheesecakes.
Also, do yourself a favor and cross Hash House off your list. There is nothing wrong with it per se, but if you are into good food, there are far better options for you to experience.

I couldn't disagree more. Hash House has an outstanding breakfast, though I cannot speak to lunch/dinner.
Regarding desserts, the buffet at the M resort had a wide assortment to choose from, each bite sized portion prepared in its own little cup or plate. Since it is a buffet, and most folks are stuffed by the time desserts roll around, it is very sensible to package them that way. Take as many or as few as you desire. The buffet at Wynn had something similar, but not as wide an assortment.
Have a great time, and report back on your impressions. I am especially curious about Nobu's since the recent remodel.
Monta Ramen is pretty good, if you have a car.

Welp, that is enough of an endorsement for me. Consider it on the list.

I went there a few years ago during my last visit. Something about pulling up to the IP after a fair amount of drinking the night before, and having that giant tower of waffles, bacon, and fried chicken put before me that hits me right in the feels. And if I remember correctly I think we got out of there for about $20 a person.
Thanks for the feedback!

I'll second that. Personally, I consider Studio B to be the best value for a buffet in Vegas, but it's not really in the class of 100+ a person. (Tip for the cheapskates here: They don't kick you out when they go from breakfast to lunch, so you can show up minutes before the changeover and save a few bucks.) Also, they have a really nice root beer on tap.
Have you tried Bally's Sterling Brunch?

The menu changes quite a bit, but I found it to be quite good. (I got in on a Groupon deal for ~65$/person after tip.)
If you go though, you'll want to make reservations or show up early. I got there about an hour before they opened and they turned away the group of three that came minutes after.

Golden Steer looks good. I'm penciling it in as my steakhouse meal.
I'm staying at the HRH so I'll be sure to check out Nobu.
The ice cream is made there and part of the chocolate flavor includes tastes of hazlenut. Plus it is made with an incredibly rich chocolate. This is chocolate that can't be resisted.
I ate at the Hash House at Mohegan Sun this past December. It sucked.
At any rate, there isn't a Hash House in Caesars. It's in the Quad. There's also locations in the Plaza and M.
All praises to whatever host is willing to comp that!!

I should also mention that this trip will be the culmination of my approximately yearlong cut down from 212 lbs. I'm currently sitting at around 158. Right now I feel like going to every single one of the places mentioned here.

One scoop of the chocolate ice cream is all you need, but a regular serving has three scoops.
Oh, and Bellagio buffet is best on strip.

Congrats on the weight loss. I lost about 25 pounds for my wedding 3 months ago and I've put about 15 back on. Dieting is one of the hardest things ever! It did feel good to just pig out for a week on my honeymoon though so I can definitely see where you're coming from by trying to eat at all of these places.
