..out of all the major Las Vegas strip casino buffets  ???:

This Enormous Las Vegas Buffet Serves 250 Dishes And Books Out Months In Advance — Here's My Incredibly Honest Review Of It
While there's no shortage of buffets across the country, there's one that's larger, more expensive, and arguably more well-known than just about all the rest.


When you think of Las Vegas, you might imagine rows of slot machines on casino floors, residency shows on every corner of The Strip, and the infamous open container laws. But if there's one additional thing that Vegas is known for, it's the all-you-can-eat buffets.

And while nearly every major hotel in Las Vegas has its own version of a buffet, there's one that's larger, more expensive, and arguably more well-known than just about all the rest: The Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace.
The entrance at Bacchanal Buffet in las vegas

If you're unfamiliar with the Bacchanal dining experience, it originally debuted in 1966 as the Bacchanal Room when Caesars Palace opened. Guests got to experience a three-hour, seven-course meal that included wine service and shoulder massages, and they were even fed grapes from toga-clad waitresses.

The Bacchanal Buffet is massive. It takes up a whopping 25,000 square feet — and chefs serve around 250 different individually sized food options from 10 interconnected kitchens.

It's meant to be an experience — but it's also expensive. At the time of my visit, the the brunch buffet started at $64.99 per adult, and dinner was $79.99 per adult. (Kids ages 4–10 cost around half of the adult rate.)

You can find full pricing information at the bottom of this post.

If you're able to score a reservation and fork over the hefty price tag, you will get 90 minutes to eat and drink as much as you can — everything from crab legs and shrimp, to quesabirria tacos, to Vietnamese pho, to more desserts than you can imagine.

...Overall, I would give the Bacchanal Buffet a 7.5/10. While none of the foods really wowed me (aside from the ube horchata: hi, I miss you), I do think that if you love to eat and the price point is within your means, this is a buffet you should experience at least once — simply for the grandness of it all.
I mean, have you ever seen a buffet have a Filipino kitchen alongside a Latin kitchen without sacrificing quality and quantity? Probably not.

The grandness can also have its downsides, though. It was impossible to eat everything I wanted to because 1) there was simply too much, and 2) there was a strict 90-minute time limit, narrower than some other comparable Vegas buffets. So, even though I went kitchen to kitchen for the purpose of this review, I would highly recommend NOT doing that if you go.

Instead, just add different items from the different kitchens to make sure you get to try a little bit of everything. You will likely feel rushed either way, and the 90-minute time limit is strict — so make sure you strategize your must-have dishes if you can, or potentially skip this buffet if you are looking for a dining experience that's not so time-constricted.

I found the Bacchanal Buffet to be impressive in its efficiency, quantity, and quality. It seems they have thought of everything when it comes to what an over-the-top Vegas buffet should look and feel like — aside from having a show, of course. Still, I would almost prefer for them to lessen the amount of food (without sacrificing the different cuisines) to improve the quality even more.

Since I found the Bacchanal Buffet website to be a little light on information, a full list of the hours and prices are below. However, it's still recommended to call ahead to double-check, since times and prices can be subject to change.

*NOTE: Bacchanal Buffet also has holiday pricing, as well as additional menu items available, on special dates, including Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and Easter.

On other holidays, like Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, major citywide events, etc., there may be a surcharge on the listed pricing.

*However, if you or someone in your party has a disability and requests a longer time, the Bacchanal team will accommodate.

Took these photos of "Edgar"? as he was in charge of directing traffic at the buffet line. He tells folks waiting that the buffet is full so if you don't have RSVP, you try your luck and get on the walk-in waiting list but chance of getting in is slim to none:

Prices went up by around $5

Mark wein did a youtube about it.  This guy, I kid you not, will opens his eyes real wide when taking a bite and all acting for clout.  Always in praises because he probably got an invitation to do a review and getting his meal comp.  He did say that 90 minutes limit do not apply to him since he's filming.  His wife is with him I believe. 

I'm going to eat there this Sat.  No rsvp for me as there is a vip for line cuts.  No one was in line when I last ate there.  Also my meal will be comp as well.  Times 2

Only thing I'm looking forward to is eating their giant snails like french escargot style.  chewy meat and hardly any fishy smell to the flesh.  No many buffet carries them critters.  All them other menu item to me is a blah blah blah because I'm not too biggie in eating them food that you see at other buffet joints.  Lobster, if have is only claws, no tail.  Oyster?  I don't remember recalling.  I might get food toxicity level rising due to me eating only them snails.  I'm going to add the drink package which is an all you can drink mimosa like $20 extra throwing on top.  Comp so might as well pad it.   :2funny:

I'm already looking at the superbowl package and the F1 racing this coming november.  F1 folks are charging the casino that has a strip view an extra fee just because they know that some people will try to watch it on the roof top view or through their room. This fee is then flows to the customer.  I already heard the rumor that them Uber and lifts drivers will take a few days off during this event because driving their customers to their hotel will be a stuck in traffic situation as they closed up a lot of inside routes to them strip hotels.  On second thought, I'm not going although my room is comp.  The traffic going in and out will be like a zoo.  Flight delay going home and what not.  It is just not worth it unless you are an F1 racing die hard fan. 

Loss wages, whatever happens there, never happens   :2funny:
