Does anybody know of any good casino buffet deals or has that era ended for good?

OKay, Covid scare is over so why not start up the casino buffet deals again?

Yea, COVID was the last nail. There are still some really good buffets but they cost.

Went to Wendy's with my daughter...burger fries drink...$28... We were stunned. We never do fast food so neither of us knew...

I looked around Town....How do people eat out?? Prices are crazy...

Tell me where to go for a reasonable lunch.

The $2.19 breakfast buffet at the Coconut Creek Casino was so good that you could eat late morning there for brunch and all that food could last you for the day. Like paying $2.19 for your daily food.

Laughlin, NV & some Indian casinos might still be OK.

Like every other deal in the world once everyone knows about it and takes advantage of it they either go away or the price raises to market rates.

So when you know a deal you bloody well keep it tucked away for you to enjoy or the same thing will happen to it.

Ugh, i must be old. I recall $1.99 prime rib buffets in vegas in the late 1980s...for an extra $1.00 you got lobster. but then, you lost $500 later at the blackjack and craps tables.

The casinos in Yavapai County, AZ, haven’t had buffets since at least 2017. On the other hand, the casino restaurants have pretty food and are reasonably priced.

I Apps. For example I have the Wendy's App and last March I was able to get the Dave's Double for just $2 and the Dave's Single for $1. I was able to do that for several days a week from late February to early April. I keep checking the restaurant apps on my phone almost daily for the deals. Apps.

Last time I went to vegas was in the 2000’s and there weren’t any deals to be found even back then.

I remember 99 cent buffets and cheap hotel rooms and free drinks while playing the slots or on the tables. But that was 50 years ago.

Two $5 baggies. Jr. Bacon cheese burger, fries, chicken nuggets and drink.

My family used to go out Sunday mornings for a wonderful breakfast buffet. That is where I first tried bagels and lox. Boo that Bidenomics has ruined that. I

Lots of you tube videos of people going to the casinos with buffets. Most buffets are breakfast, or brunch, with dinner buffets only on certain days of the week. Three factors which make prices higher than before...inflation(roughly 300% from 1980. Less competition(only about 14 buffets in casinos in Vegas) and the range of choices and quality of food is better.
One meal at a decent restaurant sometimes cost more than a good buffet. There are non casinos buffets with decent quality off the strip. There are prime rib dinners at casinos as low as about 12 bucks. But good deals, and good meals can be had at 25-35 bucks...for prime rib.
As COVID fears disappear, I expect competition to heat up and prices will moderate and more casino buffets will reopen.
