I went to two buffets in Vegas. The cheap small Indian buffet in a shitty casino was infinitely better than the big varied expensive buffet. The food was mediocre in both, but mediocre Indian food is better than overpriced mediocre generic bullshit.
Plus at the Indian buffet I was sitting next to some vidya semi-famous people and got to eavesdrop on their shop talk.

You have to understand. Buffets were a combination that everyone who survived the Great Depression loved: A cafeteria combined with the idea that you could eat as much as you wanted. Baby Boomers inherited this from their parents. Cafeterias are all but gone with the exception of hospitals, Military, and the occasional Luby's. But buffets have always been inferior to cafeterias.

I live in Vegas. There's a shitton more to do here, including world class dining and entertainment. If you think it's just gaming and buffets, you either haven't been here since the early 90s, have never been here, or are the lowest of low class.

I work in corporate for the casinos and it's actually really interesting to have a real understanding of what the buffet thing costs overall, and what the benefit of it is to your property. It's a low cost way to give people perceived value.

Buffet pricing is weird.

If you are, as the OP terms it, a "trough monster," it makes perfect sense to go to a buffet.

But a buffet needs to make money, so every dollar they lose feeding the trough monster, they make by overcharging you, t. Normal Eater, either by having the price too high or the quality too low.

I never eat at buffets unless I already know I'm going to be stuffing my face, you can get way better quality-for-money by purchasing a single dish most places.

My go-to example being brunch at a café - there are two right across from each other near my home, one offers a brunch buffet, the other a variety of brunch platters - they cost about the same to use, beverages are almost *identical* in price, but the quality at the buffet is well lower than the quality at the table service place.

I guess if I had multiple kids, the greater variety of combinations at the buffet would make it easier to make sure that each of them could find something to their taste, but when it's just me, the wife and the one single sprog, that's quite unnecessary.

Back in the old days, when the Excalibur first opened, had only 2 towers then, you had a slip of paper you had to give the meat carver, you could get seconds, thirds, fourths on ham and turkey but for your $11 you only got one slice of Prime Rib.
When the Mandalay Bay first opened their Buffet was amazing, no way you could sample all they offered.
Bellagio was overpriced for what you got.
Around the same time I ate at the Eldorado in Reno, all you could eat Prime Rib, asked the waitress for a pitcher of room temperature water and over the next 3 hours I ate so much prime rib that when we left I sat down on the sidewalk, I could not walk I was so sick from how much food I had eaten, ended up lying on the sidewalk near the gutter out in front of the Silver Legacy, moaning and growning, everything I could do to not vomit, ended up soiling my pants, people passing by dropped money in my fallen off hat, ended up paying for all my meals in Reno off the money I made that night, girlfriend, more of a friend, was disgusted by my behavior and went back to the motel, she made me strip off and throw my filthy pants before I could enter our room.

You go into the buffet once. You can't go back and forth. Pay your entry fee, eat until you're full... entry fee again later. It's not a come and go all day thing.

Part of it is practically expecting that most people will only be able to eat once. We have a "buffet of buffets" thing, where you get entry to five buffets for one "low price" but it means you have to waddle your ass from one property to another, and we know better than to expect that will happen.

>>11572308
I was mostly referencing tourists... if you come to Vegas, I'm expecting you probably brought at least a couple of grand to blow at the tables. But if you really think there's nothing to do here as a local, it makes no sense to me. You have Lake Mead, hiking at Red Rock, Mt. Charleston, all free activities. There are free shows on the Strip. For a pretty cheap cost, you can see one of the nightly residencies in any of the casinos, where most cities/towns either don't get it at all, or have to wait years for one of them to come through. And then you still have your little casinos with the $3.99 prime rib and shit.

This city has almost everything you can ever want, besides wholesome people.

I'm a 5'1 109lb human being, and boy do I hate when people larger than me eat less. When I go to the buffet I'll eat 6-7 plates of food and stop because I don't want to feel like I'm going to explode.
