Las Vegas is home to buffets that span the spectrum of price and quality. While numerous resources exist to help you find the “best” options, my intent here is to help you find the cheapest buffets in Las Vegas.
While high-end options like Wynn, Bacchanal, and Wicked Spoon are spectacular, their $60+ price point can make many people cringe. Fortunately, there are numerous options that won’t put as painful a dent into your gambling budget.
Note that pricing and hours of operation can also change frequently. I’ll do my best to keep this updated, but recommend you click through to your preferred buffet to confirm their hours and cost before making the trip.
Cheapest Buffets on the Strip
The Buffet Circus Circus
While not fancy or gourmet, Circus Circus weighs in as the cheapest buffet on the Strip.
- Dinner costs $32.99 and is available from 4:30 pm – 10 pm and is offered Friday and Saturday.
- Brunch costs $30.99 and is offered from 7 am – 2 pm and is offered on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
You should note that Circus Circus’s buffet hours and dates have been fluctuating quite a bit recently. I recommend calling ahead to verify their hours of operation before making the trip.

AYCE Buffet at Palms
I personally feel the buffet at Palms is one of the best values in Las Vegas, delivering quality that is comparable to the best buffets in town (Wicked Spoon, Bacchanal, and Wynn) for 25%-35% less money.
While there are a few spendier dinner options, Palms’ standard breakfast, brunch, and dinner come in at a competitive price point.
I think you’ll be impressed with the quality.
Pricing is as follows:
- Brunch costs $32.99 and is offered daily, but hours vary by day:
- Saturday – Sunday from 9 am – 4 pm.
- Monday, Tuesday & Friday from 8 am – 2 pm.
- Wednesday & Thursday from 8 am – 1 pm.
- Dinner is served nightly, but pricing and hours differ by day:
- Saturday – $36.99 – (5 pm – 10 pm)
- Sunday – $36.99 – (4 pm – 9 pm)
- Monday and Tuesday – $36.99 (4 pm – 9 pm)
- Wednesday & Thursday Lobster Dinner – $64.99 (2 pm – 9 pm)

I’m a former software salesman turned Vegas aficionado. While the craps table is my preferred habitat, I pull myself away to explore new attractions, shows, restaurants, and outdoor activities around Las Vegas with the intent of sharing my experiences.
Ultimately, I just want to help folks plan a better trip and save a few bucks in the process.

no one ever mentions golden corral—2 locations, sunset on the east side and lamb blvd on the west. their salad bar is fantastic and they always have a ton of carved meats and a lot of other protein selection (their shrimp is super fresh)! everything is hot, and the place is kept clean. prices are unbeatable, especially for seniors.
