I rank buffets differently than other posters do. I try to find the right balance between price, accessibility and convenience. As a longtime resident (40+ years) I know what I am talking about.

To me the “Wicked Spoon” buffet at the Cosmopolitan ranks #1. It is center strip, easy to get to. I do not know if there is a parking fee involved. Caesars Palace also is at center strip. I avoid it myself for a couple of reasons. The wait time is too long, and the buffet has too many choices. Try it if you want to get tortured. $70 a pop last time I checked (about 6 months ago). Wynn seafood buffet. Lunch $60, dinner $80. Most of the time I visit the Wynn just for the ambience. That in itself is worth a few bucks.The Bellagio buffet. I do not recommend it. But the gardens are always worth a visit. If you can elbow your way through the crowds. If you like some of the best prime rib in town and do not mind a short ride by car or even city bus, you need to head over to the South Point hotel, about five miles south of center strip. At $30 a pop it is well worth it. Plenty of FREE parking, in front, valet, or garage.The bus stops right in front of the hotel parking lot. Now we get to the buffet. I would have ranked it #1, but it is about ten miles south of center strip. It is at the M hotel/casino. $100 per is well worth it. Last time I visited the wine/beer was included. Well worth the ride. The hotel is also very unique and well appointed. FREE parking is included. The buffet is called “Anthony’s” The last one worth mentioning is the Palms buffet @ 4321 W. Flamingo. It is not very far at all, but the traffic is murder. Brunch (weekends) $43. Lobster dinner $80, prime rib $53.
