best cheap buffet?

My favorite buffets are at Bellagio and Cosmopolitan. But for an upcoming trip in May, my wife and I would like to find a cheap buffet with high quality food. Suggestions?

Red Rock comes to mind. I think an excellent
b-fast there was $ 5 using a players club card.

But RR is on the side of town so you'd probably
want a rental car to get there.

I liked the Gold Coast buffet. Weekdays it was $6.95. The food was good, but I don't know if I'd consider it 'high' quality. The fresh fruit section was disappointing. But all of the hot items were as I like them - crispy bacon, slightly spicy sausage, fluffy eggs, etc. The pastry selection was limited, but what they had was tasty.

I consider this buffet to be a good value, but if you are looking for upscale dishes, or a large selection of items, you'll probably want to go elsewhere.

Golden Nugget downtown

On Sundays, the Champagne brunch rolls out some of the most exceptional dishes, including yogurt, grilled fish, breakfast desserts, and fancier items along with the breakfast standards. The Champagne brunch is served on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. and costs $17.99.

Any of the Stations or Coast Casinos would be a good choice. I second the person who said GVR/Red Rock -- nice if you have a car. Red Rock can be crowded. Downtown, I like Main Street a lot:

Pick up a 2-for-1 before you go from the Fremont Street Experience website.
For a sleeper buffet, try Eastside Cannery.

The lunch or dinner buffet was $5 at the Silverton on weekdays with a players card. Upon signing up for a card, the first buffet was free. I haven't been there since last summer so it may have changed. The food and the selection was quite good.

If you are going to The Silverton, why not trek all the way to The M Resort?

All buffets seem to be a mixture of price, line-length, emphasis, and geographic location. Trends that I've persistently heard is that the Wynn is on the decline but would appeal to vegetarians. Emphasis would include such items as (Booze, Crab legs, Carving sections, omelet stations). People have different values. Omelet stations are time consuming and the ingredients are pretty much the same if they just make omelets and leave them out in a tray.

Some people like the sight of a mega-table. Some don't.

Some people value the M Resorts booze policy (other than breakfast, I think), some don't.

Its been quite awhile but does the Venetian still have a breakfast buffet in that alcove that is 22 steps from their lowest limit craps table? It was available at some Cafe SomethingorOther: real cheap, real limited, small room, small dining area ... but it had all the usual breakfast crap that I was primarily interested in: Eggs (3 styles), potatoes (2 styles), oatmeal (3 toppings), coffee in large cups, bagels with 2 or 3 things, toasts of various types and yoghurts. Of course I always felt that its primary advantage was the 22 steps to the craps table. Very limited, small but very convenient and only eight bucks which is pretty much what you would pay for a breakfast in any coffee shop anyway. After breakfast, the CWs at the craps table will bring all the coffee, orange juice and bottled water you want. They bring booze too but I try to avoid Pre-Noon Booze although I've sometimes used the Vegas is a different time zone excuse.

Well definitely not a buffet, but I have had breakfast
consisting of a chili-dog and a Heineken at Slots-o-Fun
a few years back.

Free is always cheap. If your playing just ask for a food comp. They are more willing to give out free food than most would believe. If the casino you want to eat at wont do it just be like fine Ill take my action elsewhere.

re-read the name of the thread, Flea.

No, the M is not cheap but man is it ever great. I agree that Main St station is one of the better low priced buffets.
