Finding a good buffet in Vegas is like finding an alligator in alligator alley..There is plently of meat around everywhere!

Aladdin is my favorite but I would not call it cheap.


Gold Coast has a dirt cheap buffet that is Gold for the money. Orleans is also cheap but very decent IMHO.


Ask about food comps where you are going to play. They can range from zero/nada for poker players to a full meal comped (if you are in the right place at the right time).

Aladdin buffet really is great. I went to a few other and it was by far the nicest. I did not go to the ones at the nicer casino's though like bellagio or the Wynn. It was 25 dollars for dinner when I was there, but with the price of food everywhere I thought it was well worth it.

My favorite is the Paris buffet. Reason being I love some crab legs, but the trouble for anybody that has eaten them is that they are a lot of work. However, the Paris buffet has them split in half so no work.

Also,they have big shrimp that would normally be peel and eat, but they are already peeled. They have some really good french dishes and awesome deserts. I think it is like 26 bucks, but worth every penny.

Since you're looking for cheap, not good, any joint that is 2nd tier on the strip ( in other words, NOT Bellagio, Wynn, etc.) will stuff you up like Belushi in Animal House for the price of a modest bet. If inhaling the most calories for the least amount of cash is the objective, then you'll find plenty of choices. For the more interesting chow-til-you-barf experiences try Rio, Paris or Aladin.

If you like Sushi try the Todai restaurant back in the shops behind the Aladdin casino. All you can eat sushi, tempura, crab legs (alaskan, maryland blue, and Dungeness). There's also a little but of non japanese food there, but they offer 8-10 different rolls like tuna, spicy salmon, shrimp tempura, and spider. Their sushi selection is amazing as well: tuna, salmon, smoked salmon, red snapper, flounder, baby flounder, red giant clam, yellowtail, octopus, squid, and a few others. They also offer salmon and tuna sashimi. All washed down with a Kirin light, I thought it was a great buy for $27 on a weekend. Lunch is about $17 and weekday is about $23.

I'm a sushi guy and was a little skeptical of a sushi buffet, but the food is fresh and turnover is very fast. I was impressed. I'd give the nigiri about 8 out of 10. Rolls 9 out of 10.

Bellagio is much better.

Agreed. It's somewhere around the 4th best buffet, maybe even lower. Wynn, Paris, Bellagio are all much better. I'd also prefer the Mirage to the Aladdin.
