OT Las Vegas

Any recommendations on breakfast buffets in Las Vegas? Will be there visiting relatives for the first time in years in a couple of weekends.

I can make some recommendations, but I need to know if you want to instagram your french toast.**

I've had breakfast at several casino buffets on the strip and didn't notice much difference among them. Generally you'll get a more comprehensive smorgasbord on the weekends, regardless of which one you go to. Unless you're dead set on a buffet breakfast, I recommend Mon Ami Gabi at the Paris. Many options, but I'm partial to the corned beef hash with the fried egg topper. It's too cold to eat on the balcony this time of year which takes away from the experience, but the food is fantastic.

First rule of Vegas is....you don't talk about Vegas.

Second rule of Vegas is.....read rule #1.

For the most part they all have the same setup. A large, overpriced ($20) buffet with scrambled eggs, pancakes, waffles, bacon, yogurt, fruit, etc. I'm sure there is a flagship breakfast buffet, but I'm not sure it could be that spectacular.

If you'll be around The Venetian, I'm a big fan of breakfast at Bouchon. You take an elevator up to it from the Venetian lobby.
They don't take reservations for breakfast, but you can usually just walk in and be seated pretty quickly.
Breakfast there is not more expensive than a buffet would be, and it's fantastic food.

This is part of what I was referencing in another thread when I said I missed the old Vegas. You used to be able to get some good quality food for next to nothing all over town. You didn't have celebrity chefs opening chic restaurants all over the place, but for $5 you could get a very good prime rib buffet. And lots of casinos would give you a breakfast buffet coupon just for playing at the tables for an hour or so.

Now when I go, the breakfast buffet costs close to $30, and my gang wants book a room at these fancy places where we wind up paying $200 a head. I preferred just losing my money at the tables.
