We went on a Sunday when the featured dish at the carving station was prime rib. The highlight of the buffet is the carving station, where you can get freshly-carved meats. This large buffet offers a wide variety of foods - including Italian, Chinese, barbecue, and Mexican - a large salad bar, and a dessert station with lots of sweet options. According to the front desk rep, this is where the locals go. On the recommendation of our hotel staff, we made the quick drive to the Garden Buffet at Southpoint Casino, located just minutes south of the Strip. While the fancy strip buffets are more plentiful, the price tag was more than we wanted to spend. Back in the “before” days, buffets in Las Vegas were a common thing, but these days, not so much.
