Before ever traveling to Vegas, I had watched National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation. The buffet scene was all too much for me, I was grossed out. I was under the impression that you could get a buffet for $2.99 and it was all kraptacular food, and not worth it. I was wrong.
Las Vegas today is different. The resorts and casinos pride themselves on great service, cleanliness, and quality. Our first trip included a breakfast at the Le Village Buffet in Paris. At about $15/person, its not cheap by any means for a breakfast. It is, however, delicious and well worth it if you are in the mood to stuff your face silly. Okay, that might be harsh, how about: Its well worth it if you want a good, fresh, custom made omelet, crepes, or your choice of 3-5 different sausages (yes, 3-5 different sausages each day!). I fell in love with the buffet and even treated my sister and her bachelorette party for breakfast there one day.
Le Village Buffet is hands down my favorite slow breakfast in Vegas. I take my time. I savor every bite. I get an apple or cherry crepe, which is made right in front of you, where your mouth starts watering as you are in awe by their skills. I think about my possible toppings: powdered sugar, pudding, whipped cream, syrup, or just Au natural. I wait in line for the omelet stand. I get a bowl of fruit. Oh yes, and don't forget the smoked salmon and capers! This buffet is quite large, but easy to navigate. If you miss the hash browns or bacon near the waffles, they will probably also be found by the eggs Benedicts. This meal lasts about an hour. I enjoy it. Fully.
Most of the items at the buffets are easily found in all the restaurants in that casino, its just a matter if you and your traveling partners want the same thing or how hungry you are. I suggest you don't miss the Le Village Buffet, but wait until the day you leave Vegas to splurge and pig out. This way, you will be satisfied, full, and you won't starve if you are at the airport waiting for a weather delay to pass (which will happen if you are hungover). If you fall asleep on the plane from carb comatose, no biggie.
Every resort/casino has a buffet. The Total Rewards casinos have a special called "Buffet of Buffets." Essentially, it costs $45 for a 24 hour pass to a slew of different buffets. You can eat as much as you want, go to each buffet as many times as you want, and just go crazy. The buffets included in the Buffet of Buffets are: Spice Market Buffet (in Planet Hollywood), Paradise Garden Buffet (in Flamingo), Carnival World Buffet (in The Rio), Flavors Buffet (in Harrah's), and of course Le Village Buffet, in Paris. For an additional $15, you can also add the Seafood Buffet at The Rio, which my boyfriend has told me wondrous things about. If you love Crab Legs and all things fine seafood, its one to hit. This 24 hour pass is a good deal if you plan on going to most of these places during that time. Its easy to spend $45 on just dinner for one at one fine dining establishment in Las Vegas, so it can be a money saver for the penny pincher...or the hearty eater!
