I love food. I have to go there on my trip to Las Vegas

I really love you tried each section of the buffet. You never eat Oysters from a buffet. Smart girl. Great video, very thorough reviews. Thumbs up. I have not had this Buffet since 2003

I’m going to Vegas in 3 weeks for the first time in 22 years and I’m addicted to your videos, wish I would bump into you and Mr. Ruby!

[@anthonydillard8563]

Just went at 19 for 3 days. So fucking dope you’ll love it! It’s super hot and sticky tho.

[@bigpagla]

I just went back after 11 years and had a blast. One thing I noticed was that it smells like pot everywhere outside. Other than that, I already miss it.

[@discofoeva5495]

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.

[@SportsBoss999]

You seem to like the MGM Grsnd buffet more than others on KZbin. 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.

[@biba1220]

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]

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.

[@jessedibrell6246]

I binge watched over 30 of your videos to prep for my trip to vegas tomorrow. I love your style and delivery. What a cool niche you have found on KZbin. Thank you for all the helpful advice!

Your videos are great! I’ve been to Vegas 10 times but not lately. In your buffet videos are there any buffets that have good Italian food? I never see your try it. Brooklyn Italian girl here lol. Thanks for your videos by the way!!

[@tcmken253]

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. :)

[@boyova1]

Thank you so much Ruby the one thing you do that most other video bloggers do not do is go into detail and I really appreciate that, I will be in Las Vegas for a week starting August 15th I'll be leaving the 21st or 22nd. I will definitely get in my car and make a beeline from the Sahara to the MGM for sure at least once that week for the buffet.

[@jarnettearnette7600]

That is a good walk if it's not too hot!!

[@boyova1]

I will have my vehicle but the tram is also running and there is a station at the Sahara that would take me down to the MGM if I decide to use it. I most likely will be vid blogging, now that's an idea blogging from the tram that should be interesting.

[@michaelgalli890]

From Sahara you can take the monorail. It goes door to door. It's fast, easy and fairly priced. Beats walking that long walk.

[@loriweir7831]

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]

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

Love how you gave a positive review I made reservation to go in February

[@PhilBogoSlots]

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!!

[@leroycastaneda4400]

Seeing buffets back is a blessing and huge thank you Vegas! some said buffets are now a thing of the past 😆 buffets are part of Vegas ....it was like saying no more noses for humans a thing of the past

[@CSLee-yu6ht]

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.🎅🏻🏴‍☠️

[@marcodoz]

Haven't been to MGM buffet since 2003. Been trying different places. After watching this video and my upcoming visit to Vegas I think is time to go back and try it. Thanks for your reviews.

[@renocool1558]

20 years ago mgm and other Vegas buffets were something to behold. Now, barely tolerable food to stuff yourself with

[@Mygreyhoundchannel]

The fluffy waffles got my attention! Usually buffets have stale waffles and pancakes 🥞

[@SportsBoss999]

I agree. Ruby noted that a lot of waffles are too hard and crunchy. Totally concur with that.

[@chuckh4077]

Best to go when they open. By 1pm I would expect the pancakes & waffles to be stale.

[@Kasonmoors]

I just went to this last week - I read some bad reviews but I actually thought it was better than the Wicked Spoon. Lot of good stuff here, I only waited 10 minutes or so to get a seat on a Thursday.

[@connorsmith4251]

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!

[@mikelanghorst]

One thing I can NEVER do is buffet sushi.

[@IP0Monsturd]

Yeah, that’s only 1 step up from gas station sushi.

[@craigbond4909]

Thanks for the video. We travel next week and I have a 2 for 1 reward through MyVEGAS so I’m thinking even if the food isn’t outstanding, under $30 for two adults can’t be beat!

[@mmasque2052]

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.

After a long line to pay, they make you get into another line to get into the buffet. No extras for Gold members.

Guess I will have to go to this buffet when they open at 8am. I'm not wasting my time waiting 30 minutes just to eat.

[@podunkcitizen2562]

I am in MGM Grand right now deciding which mid priced buffet to try tomorrow. My last day at MGM Park is tomorrow. May go to MGM Grand buffet or maybe Main St. Station buffet. You seemed to like that one too. They had less meat selection but you liked their turkey and ham.

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.

[@TravelRuby]

Yikes, sorry to hear that Tim. We went early morning and everything was fine.

[@jamesc.murray5932]

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.

I ate there in August of 2019 and it was well worth the price. The all you can eat and the mimosas were great!!

Not dirty, Been there hundreds of times Chef joe is the only reason to go. He keeps it clean and the pans are non stick pro pans. Those pans don’t need to be cleaned every egg when we has 40 people waiting for an omelette. As someone who’s worked in the kitchen we don’t clean pans of that make as much because of how busy it is.

And brisket should not taste like a pot roast lol.

Very pleased. Totally felt safe except where I was recently employed, General Motors- they were having all kinds of conferences. I was excited to see fellow employees, even though they were big wigs. I was beautiful. Nobody bothered me though.
