Last time I noticed, children 3-8 eat at half price.
Vegas is not the land of cheap buffets anymore. Have a happy holiday.
Thanks for the info--you were exactly right. Of course, our 2 kids are 3 and 9. Although I struggled with it, we ultimately decided to (continue to) set a good example for our kids and not lie about their ages. When our cashier, told me the 9 yo was full price, I said "no problem--rules are rules." Then when I told him the little (28 pound) one was 3, he told me that for today, he could be 2.5. Very kind, and fair, use of discretion, I thought.
we had no luck at the buffets when we went in September. The best buffet we ate at was breakfast at Luxor. It was really awesome so I guess we were lucky there but dinner was BRUTAL Mandalay Bay was horrible and over priced so was their asian inspired restaurant nearby. The buffet at circus circus was BRUTAL times 1000. Cheap and not even worth it. the biggest surprise was IN N OUT BURGER off the strip. OMG YUMMYYYYYYY!!!!! We ate there the ret of the trip even in Cali we would be excited when we found it. It was such a relief to arrive at Dland and eat Disney quality food. ALthough The blue Bayou was dissappointing the grand Cali restaurants were awesome !!!!!! So i would save some $$ eat breakfast at the Luxot and not waste $$ or time on the dinner buffets. We were disappointed.
We must have done the exact same trip as you, except in reverse. We were at DL first (ate at the BB and Storytellers at the GCH), then over to LV where we ate at the Luxor breakfast (and lunch) buffet, the Mandalay Bay (Christmas) dinner buffet, and the hands down favorite of the grandparents In-N-Out Burger! The only exception was we subbed Wynn buffet for Circus Circus (had an experience with that nightmare a couple of years ago). Our analysis was similar to yours--Blue Bayou was okay, but not as good as we'd remembered. Loved Storyteller's--went back for bkfst buffet twice in four days. Luxor breakfast (and lunch) buffet was terrific, especially considering the price. The only difference was we loved Mandalay Bay (but then, it was Christmas Day and somebody else bought for us). And Wynn, of course, was outstanding, but ouch! those prices (even with our "discount"). We would heartily recommend trying bkfst, lunch and dinner buffets in LV, as long as you're willing to pay for the better ones. The variety, the volume and, oh, those desserts. We're already ready to go back!
