The best buffets in Las Vegas

Just a brief list, in alphabetical order (these are all in the same quality class so it's hard to rank them):

  • Bellagio Buffet
  • Paris Buffet
  • Planet Hollywood Spice World Buffet
  • Rio Carnival World Buffet
  • Rio Seafood Buffet
  • Wynn Buffet

I don't have the time or notes to write reviews right now, but you can find additional information on the details and merits of each of those on plenty of other Vegas sites.  I just wanted to jot my list down because sometimes people ask me for my opinion as a local who has eaten many meals at many buffets.

My brother is freaking out because I put ketchup on my potatoes and apparently Heinz Ketchup has OMG EVIL HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP in it.

I don't care -- I'm on vacation.

Breakfast at the Marlin Cafe

My mom and stepdad opened a cafe in his store earlier this year.
