Widely considered the best in the city, Bacchanal Buffet continues to impress. The space was just recently renovated (the large dining room is divided with glass partitions to make it seem more intimate) and the menu was updated with more than 100 new dishes added. There are 10 different kitchens with chefs preparing many items on-the-go. Diners will find everything from crispy lechón and japchae dumplings to grilled oysters and duck carnitas quesadillas. Be sure to save room for dessert—it may just be Bacchanal’s crown jewel.

Guests coming into The Buffet at Wynn slide past eight royal palms on the way to the bright, elegant dining room where 16 live cooking stations and 90-plus dishes await. At the Gourmet Brunch, go ahead and tuck into some red velvet pancakes or a lobster benedict. The Wynn’s Seafood Spectacular (Daily, 1 pm-9 pm, $74.99) offers exactly what it promises. Maine lobster, crab legs and some of the freshest fish plucked from the Mediterranean and the waters off the coast of Japan.

The Palms has recently elevated its A.Y.C.E. Buffet (pronounced “ace”). The menu sports all the usual fare like carving stations and made-to-order pasta but also added items such as crispy tofu, eggplant caponata, pineapple-glazed ham, and sweet corn tamales to its bold offerings. A.Y.C.E.’s popular theme nights have people lining up. There’s all-you-can-eat lobster on Wednesday and Thursday nights ($64.99), prime rib and snow crab Fridays ($42.99) and bottomless champagne brunch every weekend.

4. Drag Brunch at Señor Frog’s

There is something extremely ‘Vegas’ about the drag brunch at Señor Frog’s. In fact, it may well be the quintessential ‘Vegas in a nutshell’ experience. The brunch buffet serves excellent food while the drag queens of Sin City do their thing, making for a thrilling experience that goes well with the open bar. What more needs to be said?

When Wicked Spoon opened at the Cosmopolitan, it served notice to the old timey way of buffet presentation. Instead of scooping food out of massive containers, Wicked Spoon offered smaller individualized portions of creative plates, dishing out items like shrimp and grits, angry mac n’ cheese, bone marrow, and perhaps a pumpkin risotto as one of its always-changing seasonal dishes.

Border Grill’s weekend brunch isn’t your typical buffet. There are no stations to browse. Instead, guests order Mexican-inspired small plates from a set menu paired with bottomless mimosas, micheladas and bloody Marys. The unlimited menu is rather large with choices including salmon avocado toast, chilaquiles, horchata french toast, barbacoa benedicts, and deviled eggs among the dozen offerings.

Like everything at the Bellagio, this buffet aims to keep things classy. The buffet features cuisines from across the globe. While ramen, tacos and crepes feed the soul, sushi, smoked salmon, pistachio-crusted lamb, Fiorentina-style prime rib, osso buco, and rosemary brisket may steal the show. The gelato here is not to be missed.

8. Market Place Buffet

Market Place Buffet is out in the city’s Summerlin neighborhood on the northwest end of the Las Vegas Valley. What makes this Rampart Casino (a JW Marriott affiliate) more unique than its rare off-strip location is that it has patio seating. The buffet has stations highlighting Asian and Italian favorites, including fresh, oven-baked pizzas. The weekend champagne brunch is always a hit, as is Aloha Night Saturday. Guests can even add an all-you-can-drink beer or wine option for just $7.99.

9. MGM Grand Buffet

The MGM Grand Buffet may not be the fanciest on this list, but it has going for it the all-you-can packages that include beer, wine, mimosas and well liquors for those who prefer a bit more punch with their meal. Breakfast includes scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes, French toast, waffles, and an omelet station. For lunch and dinner, expect roasted turkey and ham from the carving station, BBQ chicken, shrimp and mussels.
