Buffet of Buffets

Unfortunately the stars are only for the paris buffet. PH has gone down considerably. Food was tasteless and they don’t have crab legs. Flamingo’s breakfast was ok but the eggs were runny and not much of a selection. Paris had delicious crepes, crab legs and pork chops. Dessert at paris was also very tasty. Service was excellent at Paris and ok at other 2 hotels.

I have been to Vegas over a dozen times and I get the All Day Buffet of Buffet pass on each and every trip. I do this mainly because every trip, I am bringing a different friend or relative with me who is seeing Vegas for the first time and I feel a good way to experience the different hotels and buffets in Las Vegas is to purchase the 24 hour Buffet pass. It has become more and more expensive over the years, so much that it is no longer worth getting this pass. A few years ago, it was $ 39.99. Now, it is about $ 65 total after taxes & fees. If you want to save $ 5, get a «total rewards» card BEFORE paying for the Buffet Pass. The Rio Buffet is less crowded and among the best. Le Village Paris Buffet & Planet Hollywood’s Spice Market are super crowded and a bit under whelming. Harah’s is surprisingly good (better than Paris & Planet Hollywood) and has a very small line most of the time.

Not worth it at all!
$ 55 pass, $ 40 surcharge/​person at Bacchanal (yes, not $ 30). You can’t argue with them after standing for hours in line for your turn.
$ 30 surcharge at Rio for Seafood buffet (crazy lines)
For $ 125 bucks/​person you can get A1 treatment and food and plenty more time to enjoy Vegas than stand in lines.
Plus the food at Rio was so whatever! Based on reviews it was supposed to be better than Paris-​Paris, Flamingo and Harrah’s.

Was my first time buying Buffet of Buffet. I thought it was worth the price for adults but the price was same for children, which I thought hmm. My 6yr old dosn’t even eat ¹⁄₃ of what I eat (I’m not a big eater) so the price was a bit high.
Anyways, we started with dinner then the plan was to do breakfast, lunch, and early dinner (4 meals totsl within 24hr period). Well with 3 kids, things never go as planned. We ended up only doing dinner, brunch, dinner. So here we go…
1^st dinner @ Paris. My all time favorite! Atmosphere, the food, dessert, i just love this buffet. The waiter was not very nice. There are waits so plan ahead because if ur 24hrs is over waiting in line, they will charge u full price.
Brunch @ Planet Hollywood. This is now one of my fav! The ppl who work here are very friendly and nice. We asked for a high chair and when the waiter brought it, she wiped it clean for us! And it wasn’t even dirty! Never ever had any waiter wipe the high chair for us before. Oh, the food is good too!
2^nd dinner @ Rio. It was my first time at Rio. Nice selection of food! The prime rib was goood! Gelato

My very first buffet in Vegas wasn’t that good. The only thing I liked about this buffet is their crepes, orange juice and one specific section of meat. Unfortunately, I forgot the name but I mean… We waited for three hours and I expected more from this buffet.
NO CLAM CHOWDER WTF THEY RAN OUT OF CLAM CHOWDER.
The guy who gave us drinks were very nice though although I could tell that he was a little impatient with us.
The interior design is perfect, however, I did put my money just to look at designs. I came to fill up my stomach after waiting for THREE hours.

All of the buffets serve pretty much the same dishes and none of them are any good. I have previously been to all 5 buffets on past trips to vegas and have been happy/​satisfied with the experience. This was the first time I’ve been to any of these 5 buffets since they started the buffet of buffets promo. The quality of the food has gone way down compared to a few years ago. I visited 4 of the buffets (all except Flamingo) on my recent visit and was very dissappointed. Buyer beware! If you think you will be getting a good variety of food choices from 5 different decent buffets you will be very dissapointed. What you will get is 5 nearly identical buffets serving very poor sub par food. Your money would be better spent in any food court.

Only really good ones are Paris an Bacchanal Buffet!
(I don’t count Rios Carinval World Buffet and Village Seafood Buffet, because they have no flavor what so ever!!!)
The Flamingos’ Paradise Garden Buffets gone down hills and the Planet Hollywoods’ Spice Market Buffet and Flavor Buffet at Harrahs is sliding down too!
The Paradise Garden buffet only has crab legs were skinny and with nothing really on them and oysters weren’t looking too good and that all they had for weekend seafood buffet!
At the Spice Market Buffet you have to ask for crab legs over the counter and there are no more crawfish at Paradise Garden Buffet and Flavor Buffet!

Buffet of buffets, $ 150 for 2 people on a weekend. Can’t beat that! 5 buffets unlimited in a 24 hr period. No need to upgrade or pay extra for Bachanal, or the seafood place the butter choices are well worth it. Had Flavors tonight, planning on eating at Paris for breakfast, and Rio World buffet lunch tomorrow. Then maybe planet Hollywood or flaming before it expires. If you love buffets this is a must to get while here!

Definitely a good deal if you plan it right, you can get basically 4 buffets (or more, if you’re really hungry and/​or ambitious) for the price of 3.
It was $ 55 with a rewards card ($ 60 without) plus an additional $ 30 each for the premium bacchanal at Caesars (totally worth it). So we did that late the first night then the next day had breakfast at the Flamingo (underrated IMO), a light lunch at Paris (nothing special, but a few good things like French onion soup, and surprisingly, hummus), and dinner at the Rio (very good, even without the extra $ 15 seafood option).
Anyway, so that’s like $ 130 worth of buffets for $ 95, definitely worth doing at least once to find out which ones you like the best. You can also add all you can drink to any of them, my advice would be the $ 13 ones at Paris or Rio since they at least had Blue Moon, the other ones I saw were either overpriced or didn’t have as good of a selection.

I don’t think this deal is worth it.
You can’t really eat that much in a day to justify the cost. The only way to get your money’s worth is to really stuff yourself all day. In order to do that, you will have to time everything correctly and it just takes away from your vacation enjoyment. It felt like the first 24 hours of our vacation was all about trying to make the pass worth the money. Not the best way to enjoy your time in Vegas if you ask me.
If you are on a mission to try a bunch of buffets just for the sake of trying it, then this pass is for you. Otherwise, the cost-​versus-​benefit is just not there.

I have been buying this deal at least 4 times thru out 4 – 5 years.
$ 54.99 (total reward member price) from 11am Sunday to 11am Friday
$ 69.99 (total reward member price) from 11am Friday to 11am Sunday & Major Holidays

You can get total reward card in any total reward booth @ Rio, The Linq, Flamingo, Harrah’s, Paris/​Bally, Planet Hollywood, Caesars Palace. I recommend getting that because it will be $ 5 more if you are not total reward members and you have to wear a band around your wrist if you don’t have the reward card & ID.
Here is my prefer buffet location from the buffet of buffets list if you don’t want to pay any extra to go to Bacchanal & Seafood Rio:
From best to worst:
1. Paris
2. Rio (Reminder: Mon-​Fri Rio Buffet open @ 11am)
3. Planet Hollywood
4. Flamingo
5 Harrah’s
I do not recommend you buy the pass at weekend price, not only because it cost $ 15 more but the line is extremely long, you just waste your vacation time lining up to save on buffet.
Only purchase this pass if your family just want to eat buffet for the next 24 hours, this will save you a lot of money. Three buffets will be the maximum you can eat. I probably will only recommend Paris & Rio because Planet Hollywood’s quality recently dropped. Flamingo & Harrah’s were known to have so so buffets.

This doesnt work. There is no point on it.
You spend as much money. (We went to three Buffets in 24hours. I dont think anyone can do more than that!!!) we broke even. And we felt rushed and forced to get our moneys worth. Dont do it.
Yeah. If you go to three buffets you break even.
But if you have your money in your pocket you can do whatever you want and eat whatever you can with out a 24 hour access rush!

Great deal! Sign up with their gold rewards and U pay one price of $ 54.99 and u get to eat buffets for 24 hrs. Buffets include harrah’s, paris, planet hollywood, rio (for an upcharge EACH time) and ceasar’s palace (higher upcharge each time).
Upcharge for ceasar palace but worth it! Really good options and decent food.
Paris on the other hand, food were over-​seasoned.
We upgraded to platinum rewards and had priority line and it came with many perks. Check it out!

Tip: purchase the pass in person at your first buffet and do not purchase online with a room package. We had a glitch in the system when we tried to use our online passes; there was no appropriate number to call and no support provided by anyone at the buffets.
And Bacchanal at Caesar’s is absolutely not worth the upcharge.

This is totally worth it if you like to eat A LOT!!! We bought our pass on a Sunday night around 9pm at the RIO. Since we were Total Rewards members, we paid $ 55 each. Beware: you pay upfront for the pass and they will ask you to TIP on the total. I think it’s best to write: CASH, and just tip your server personally at each buffet.
1^st stop @9pm, Rio Carnival buffet. Waited about 20 minutes in line. HUGE dining room, tons of options! I liked the fried and steamed shrimp as well as the gelato! The crab legs and prime rib were really popular. And the Asian noodle/​soup bar was really cool! The Mexican food and pasta was not touched by anyone…
2^nd stop: 9am Harrah’s breakfast buffet. Got seated right away! Typical breakfast options: eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, waffles, fruit, salad bar, pastries. They did have a free mimosa/​bloody mary bar as well as an omelet and crêpe station. I didn’t try an omelet, but opted for a crêpe. The line wasn’t too long, but it wasn’t worth the wait. The crêpe itself was good, but the filling was just plain cherry pie filling from can– gross! I did like their assortment of pastries and soft-​serve ice cream (around the corner, so don’t miss it). They also had a lot of sugar-​free dessert options! I really liked the seating next to the live flamingos!
3^rd stop: 2pm lunch at Planet Hollywood. There was no wait, so we got seated right away! I thought that this was the cleanest, newest, and nicest dining area. I loved the desserts (crème brulee, cotton candy, soft-​serve ice cream, etc); some of them were fancy and not just the typical pre-​made, store bought desserts. The prime rib and pre-​made salads were delish! I loved the Caesar salad! The sliders (both chicken and beef) were disgusting!
4^th stop: 8pm dinner at Le Village at The Paris. We waited in line about 30 minutes. Everyone raves about this buffet, but it was my least favorite! I’m not sure if it was because this was our last buffet and we were sort of buffet-​ed out, or because it was a Monday night. The French onion soup was the saving grace! Although I was bummed to have to search for the croutons and cheese to add to it– should have been right next to the soup! Again, crab legs were popular with other tables, as were the crepes. We waited in line for dinner crepes– I had a chicken, cheese, and spinach, and my husband had the mushroom. BOTH were TERRIBLE! All of the fillings were cold, and they were not cooked long enough to have the cheese melt. We were both really disappointed. The desserts were also very disappointing– nothing was good!
This pass was worth the price since we squeezed 4 buffets in, but next time we are in Vegas, I plan on trying the Spice Buffet, Bellagio, or Wynn, and skipping the pass! I only need one buffet in my life!

You feel like such a fatty buying this 24-​hour pass but it’s so worth! Especially when you’re 20, stuck in Vegas, and with nothing else to do…
The price right now is about $ 55 WITH the Total Rewards card. Since we weren’t of age to gamble yet, we weren’t allowed to get the card BUT for the same reason, we were still able to get the discounted price. Awesome!
Bought the pass at Planet Hollywood’s Spice Market buffet at 3:40 PM (that way we could squeeze in two dinners, since all their dinners start at 3 PM)
3:40 PM Spice Market (PH) — was our first buffet and we were excited so we ate PLENTY and everything tastes promising. Tons of snow crab legs, and their prime rib + Yukon mashed potatoes were really good! Everything else was ok.
8:30 PM Carnival World (Rio) — they had a bit of a line but it didn’t take too long to get in. They had a huuuuge selection of different foods. Highlights:
*Asian selection-​made to order soup bowls (ie phở and udon), dim sum (their shu mai was pretty on point), bbq foods (crispy pork, roast duck, bbq duck)
*hot crab legs, ask for a little crab slicer from waiter
*snow crab legs agaaain
*their Mexican station had guacamole!!! Weow
*GELATO…I love gelato. I went back twice (sorry not sorry)
I wouldn’t get prime rib at rio. theirs was way too salty.
8:00 AM Le Village (Paris) — where do I start. this is breakfast HEAVEN! And their décor is so awesome. Wait was long, about 45 minutes to get in. (NTS-​they start at 7 AM). Highlights:
**made to order CREPE station
**endless variety of egg dishes (fav were the EGGS BENEDICT-​so good, and the lox scrambled egg)
**Lyonnaise potatoes, potato triangles, fingerling potatoes? So many potatoes.
**endless variety of sausages as well.
**sliced ham and slab of bacon, chef is available to cut for you
**lots of French pastries but some tasted old
I saw them making crème brûlée but they don’t serve it until 11 AM :(we left at 10 AM. Would definitely come back to this one, it was amaazing.
2:00 PM Flavors (Harrah’s) — you could definitely forget about this one. We ditched after two plates and left for Rio hahaha
But I did get raspberry gelato. and it was bomb.
OVERALL-​we went to 5 buffets for the price of $ 55 each person. $ 11 a buffet. Worth it especially since we couldn’t enjoy Vegas to its fullest potential! Buy it during a time where you could make a 4^th meal out of it. (Ie 4:00 PM)
Also-​drinks like soda, tea, coffee are included. And all the hotels offer free self parking, if you didn’t know :)

Read the reviews, and they helped a lot. First, we signed up for Total Rewards and were able to get the cards. Second, we bought the pass at 8:30pm for a late dinner and were able to feast Day 2 rather leisurely.
Now for the buffets:
Rio (dinner) — This one had the best «Asian» food, in my opinion. I really like the satay and peanut sauce. Best part of this buffet is the dessert. The bananas foster, chocolate mousse, and coconut gelato were absolutely delicious.
Paris (lunch) — Hands down the best buffet out of the 3 we visited. Mac N Cheese with peas, mustard cream chicken, french onion soup, prime rib, creamed spinach, scalloped potatoes, cooked apples, cooked pears, macarons, and berry crêpe were awesome!
Planet Hollywood Spice Market (dinner) — We were underwhelmed by almost everything at this buffet with the exception of the prime rib and the cotton candy. Those two items were quite good.

I have done the buffet of buffets every time I have gone to Vegas. It really is a good deal. For those who are more on a tight schedule, I really wouldn’t recommend doing this. You really have to devote one full day of doing this to get your money’s worth.
The price with a totalrewards card puts your total to 49.99 without tax. Make sure you print your cards out before you get to the counter, or they will send you back to get it or charge you 54.99 and make you wear a tacky wristband.
START your buffet of buffets around 4 – 5. This gives you time to eat a late lunch, and maybe another dinner around 9. Most of the buffets close at 10. That’s already two meals. Then tomorrow morning, eat breakfast, lunch, and you can also score another dinner. That’s five meals for only $ 50! That’s really a steal. With the high prices out here, you will definitely get your money’s worth.
Recommendations: breakfast at Paris Hotel, dinner at spice market buffet in PH, lunch at harrahs.
The Banchanal buffet and rio charge an extra fee because their buffets are really well known.

This is a great option if you feel like pigging out on buffets. We really got our money’s worth because we planned in 4 meals. We planned a late lunch late dinner and then early breakfast and earlier lunch. I thought this was a great deal but I did feel like I had to plan my schedule around it. The best buffet you have to try is the paris buffet! The desserts are so good.
ps dont forget to get a free total rewards membership card to get a further discount!

Recommended — it’s a neat way to try buffets in 7 locations for up to 24 hours. They’re not the best buffets on the strip, but then the pass is really meant to give you lots of food and selection for a low price.
Some things to watch for:
— Get the Total Rewards membership (it’s free).
— The $ 49 price applies during the weekdays only for Total Rewards members. ($ 59 if not a member)
— The $ 49 deal is weekday oriented, with the price being $ 65+ on weekends
— While it’s valid for 24 hours, the buffets are really only open from 7am-​11pm.
— Two of the buffets (at Caesar’s and Rio) have an extra upcharge on top of the pass.
