This is Why People Hate the Luxor Buffet in Las Vegas

In this video we visit the Luxor Buffet. Although it's a cheap buffet, it has the reputation of being the worst buffet in Vegas. I think I gave it a fair shot, but I would much rather go to the Excalibur at that price point. With that being said, a cheap meal is hard to come by on the Las Vegas Strip so if you're not a picky eater, the Luxor buffet is still a great option when visiting Las Vegas.

Bruh... All that food looked like dirty butthole. I'd rather spend $20 at a local diner and get one serving of a made-to-order, quality-ingredient meal. That paper-thin bacon, poop-sausage and powdered eggs are the same ones you get for free at a Holiday Inn.

Agreed. It is themed as an archaeological dig site and wasn't blanded out like other MGM properties were. The buffet used to be named Pharaoh's Feast, which is more fitting though.

[@Phyde4ux]

As an Oregonian, I couldn't care less about "ambiance". I'd sooner pay top dollar to stand outside of a food cart, in the rain, eating out of a paper cup, as long as that food was legit something the chef's grandma would be proud of. No way I'd pay $30 to eat the same powdered eggs and paper thin bacon you can get for free by staying at a Motel 6.

Luxor theme was the high light. food selection was more than plenty for brunch, loved the omelet station. food was not cold and the whole crew very professional and courteous.

We dined at the Top of Binions and the Golden Steer in May....both were very good. Cheers!

The buffet at Excalibur sucked so bad that we checked out the Luxor and ended up eating there a couple more times during our trip. It was awesome back then.

So it looks like buffets are reopening in Vegas after everything. That’s good. Gonna try and go to one while I’m out there next month. It’s been so long since I’ve been to a Vegas buffet. I personally think Flavors that used to be in Harrahs was an amazing buffet

[@dangarcia6760]

Before the pandemic, I'm thinking about 2018, I bought the 24 hour deal where you had the choice of buffets from Paris, Planet Hollywood, Cesars, Rio and not sure if others were involved. Cost like $65 per wristband. Great price then considering the prices now. Had Breakfast at Planet Hollywood, late Lunch at Rio and finished with late dinner at Paris. Gained some weight for sure! LOL

[@panzercoyote6130]

It's worth the 10 minute walk to eat Excalibur's buffet if you're staying at the Luxor and are dead set on a buffet. A little advice for whoever is reading: some of the items are common no mater if you eat at the MGM Grand, Excalibur, or Luxor buffets. If all you're going to eat is the breakfast items, pizza, or country fried steak, get it wherever it's closer or cheaper. Stuff like the specialty dishes and carving stations get better as you go up from Luxor to Excalibur to MGM Grand.

[@malcolmschenot6352]

Great review. I like your down-to-earth attitude, and the extra expertise with the Mexican food is appreciated. I'm in LA and I've noticed that my favorite restaurants in the Valley have had a hard time with quality the last 2 years, but most (the ones still in business) are making a comeback. The Asian buffet near me went way down (pre-covid it was fantastic), but I still go back and am careful about what I choose and still feel I'm getting my money's worth ($25).

Been in the business for 20 years, worked countless holiday buffets and Sunday Brunch's. That food looks overcooked, inedible and understocked. In the industry, you can always cook more per request but you can't un-cook meat. Hard to believe that there is little to no cleanliness maintenance on the guest side of the line.

True story: My friend had an accidental discharge with his .357 Magnum while staying in the Luxor. Luckily it didn't hit anybody or break any glass. I can't imagine what one of those panels would have cost. He shot the bottom of his suitcase but never could find the bullet. Pro tip observation: I was in the room directly connected to him and I never heard a sound. From a .357 Magnum fired 10 feet away. I heard nothing.

[@RollingThunderDJs]

We have eaten at the Luxor Buffet a few times, as well as the Excalibur. They are pretty much the same food with the exception of the Luxor serving the same tomato bisque that they serve at Tournament of the Kings show at Excalibur. We always get a 2-4-1 deal at these two locations, and the food is not always the best; However there is plenty of items to choose from to get your money's worth. Obviously you can get better food choices at the more expensive buffets down the Strip. I would not call this the worst buffet in Vegas; There are definitely worse places in my opinion.

[@jthyme7940]

Thanks, Jorge! I doubt I would try the Luxor buffet. I went to the Excalibur buffet in January and it did not agree with me one bit so that was a "one and done" deal for me. I'll have to check your videos to see if you tried the MGM Grand buffet. I've never really heard much about that one. I DO want to try SouthPoint's Garden buffet on my next trip, in about a month. Keep up the good work!!

[@theotheleo6830]

$30 for a buffet ain't cheap for a small mediocre menu with subpar food. The strip used to have great buffet deals back when buffets were part of the casinos' enticements. Now, they've gotten greedy. Everything in the casinos has to be a money maker, e.g., resort fees, parking fees, etc. Just about everything on the strip is a ripoff, except for the free drinks while you're gambling.

[@alanreynolds2287]

Buffets are hit and miss anywhere you go. To truly 'Test' the quality and flavor of each dish, one needs to get that dish as it is being put out. THAT is when the dish/serving is supposed to be at it's best. After 10 minutes on the buffet, the dish has continued to cook, driving off any subtle flavors and drying out the food. Buffets are the 'fast food' of fine dining you grab a plate and serve yourself in minutes rather than waiting for a server, getting a drink, ordering, etc. How many non-Vegas buffets serve Tiramisu? Casino buffets are built to feed hungry gamblers, not food connoisseurs, they want you in and out of the buffet and back on the gaming floor losing your mortgage payment....
