The MGM Grand Buffet in Las Vegas recently reopened so we decided to head over and check it out. It is currently open for brunch, and significantly cheaper than Bacchanal. Here is a full review of the food and drinks so you can decide if it is worth going to!

MGM GRAND is our second home from Southern Calif. Since covid, we sure miss playing at our favorite pool, the lazy river. Eat our breakfast at the buffet. I got to see one of our favorite employee's MINNIE who I see on this vid as she working in the dessert area. We always made sure we say hello to our favorite people who work as a cashier at the buffet- Ms. Vannent. Big Joe who makes us laugh with a smile while making my omellete with eveything in it. Minnie, Karen, Ruth, Kitty and so many others. BOY I MISS MY MGM.

You seem to like the MGM Grsnd buffet more than others on RU-vid. And I tend to agree with you. I like the basics when it comes to food, so the fancy places like the Baccannal in Ceasars are not for me. Glad to hear a positive review of this one. And as usual, I'm taking your advice.

I'll have to give MGM Buffet another try. I went years ago and it was VERY average. Your videos are so helpful in planning my Vegas trips. Great job! If you are looking for ideas for content (that you don't need to be in Vegas for), I'd love to see a "behind the scenes" on how you plan out your trips and decide what you are going to film. How do you pick the hotels you stay at? How much of what you film is pre-planned vs "in the moment"? Etc. Thanks again for the great info!

@redwolfexr 2 года назад

Based on her description it seemed pretty average to me. The "good" stuff was what she caught fresh. (like any buffet) Lots of canned/processed stuff.. deserts sounded particularly poor that way. They looked better than they tasted. When I get dragged to buffets I generally stick with the stuff I see go out fresh and a-la-minute preparations. I guarantee you the omelette station was using liquid eggs unless you asked for cracked eggs. (which they have - and that guy who ordered over easy was aware of) REally high end buffets are a better value if you are targeting expensive foods. The mids like MGM... its really the same food any local buffet has. Maybe a bit more international selection.

Thanks for the update, video, and honest review. Some buffets on the strip are open...as a local, most off-strip casinos have shut their buffet doors using COVID as an excuse. Sad, the "old" buffets offering visitors and families decent prices and meals are gone. There are still a lot of viable options off the Strip. Cheers and safe travels. :)

I loved Vegas when it was all about customer service and entertainment. Now it’s bend over and like it cause we’re screwing you in every way. It’s a shame she’s too young to know what made the place cool. Oh the funniest part was when she was talking about the Chinese food and said it’s good, it tastes like the food at the mall. The same food truck that delivers the frozen food to the mall must stop at the MGM also, it’s not the same Vegas.🎅🏻🏴‍☠️

@loriweir7831 3 года назад

I had the buffet at the beginning of June when I was there. I think it is definitely worth the price during the week. Not so sure it would be worth the weekend price though as I was told the items are pretty much the same on the weekend as what they are during the week.

@chuckh4077 2 года назад

Rip off on the weekend, deal on weekdays. Staying at that hotel this December. Can't wait to eat at that buffet.

@PhilBogoSlots 3 года назад

I had the MGM Grand buffet in February of 2020, just before the pandemic happened. The food was flavorless, some stuff was cold. Very good selection, just like you say here, but I was very disappointed with it. The only reason I went there to the buffet was that it was part of the deal that I had (5 buffet meals free). I was in Vegas for a week and I ate there only because it was free for me. The Brunch was by far better than the dinner meals that I had. I had told myself that I wouldn't eat here again after this. If the food is better then maybe I'll try it again. I did really enjoy the Luxor's buffet, although that was over 2 years ago. Thanks for the update on their food though!!

But yes good selection of desserts and lots of bacon for me. Thanks for these awesome videos Ruby!!!

Pre covid the mgm grand buffet was awful. Probably because it didn’t get the crowds that it is present day. I remember all the food used to be cold/ wouldn’t be restocked and scrambled eggs were watery and wouldn’t even dare to go near the sushi. This looks like a huge improvement for sure and would go back to try it again, thank you!

My wife and I went 2 weeks ago. The first day we were turned away because the lines were so long. The next day the lines were long too but we got in. Once in the carving station line was ridiculous. The shrimp wasn’t cooked properly. They didn’t have everything out. The deserts were dry and from a package. Breakfast was ok, but not worth $30 a person. The waffles great. Luckily we used a MyVEGAS Bogo coupon. I will not be going back to the MGM buffet again.

@jamesc.murray5932 11 месяцев назад

Good job. I think I will try the MGM Grand buffet the next time I'm in Vegas. It seems to be the fairest price for the quality of food, compared to your other location videos done in Vegas. (For the other video locations seemed to be pricier, even if some of the food was a little better.) Sure, you get what you pay for. But at a buffet (as is most all of the layouts you critique in Vegas), you can get full concentrating on the best part, skipping others that may not be so good.

@mmasque2052 3 года назад

MGM Grand’s buffet is better than Circus Circus and about on par with Excalibur or Luxor. They definitely need to pay more attention to cleanliness on the food serving areas; I’ve been to Golden Coral locations that were less messy. (Big negatives, serving utensils lying on the food and the area around the lo mein is in dire need of cleaning.) for the price, I’d as soon pay a bit more and hit the Wicked Spoon or the Aria’s buffet.

@carlosruanovamacfarland6700 2 года назад

@marianne4468 3 года назад

If you are looking for that variety, Go to the back end of the linq by the high roller and there is a free shuttle bus that will take you to the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino. It sits across from the Palms and next to The Rio. There is a restaurant - Ping Pang Pong that is infamous with locals that serves what you are looking for. They have a huge menu and they are reasonably priced.
