I Tried Luxor's $17 All You Can Eat Buffet in Las Vegas...

[@TravelRuby]

Thought on Luxor's Buffet? Would you eat here?

[@mushagusha8511]

Stayed there last August, thought the buffet was alright. I’d go again! The free mimosas were a great addition haha

[@Mamma_D]

nope, we had it in December... gross!! I really tried to like it, but could not

[@mark33328]

Back in 2017 it was pretty good. Now it’s cafeteria quality and pig slop.

[@jasonsmith9074]

At $17, it's fine, as long as you're selective with what you put on your plate. But, we've had much better luck at Pyramid Cafe. I would never paid full price for this buffet.

[@amyayers9374]

We ate there twice on our last trip. Really awful. I'm a breakfast person and it was the worst breakfast food I've ever eaten. So the answer is no I would not eat there again.

[@taraGcalgary]

The best part of the entire video was the look and your face after the bite of the raspberry cake! Thanks for taking one for the team Ruby!

[@carolinepate9799]

Thanks for honest review. That is why I watch your video.

[@michellemcgough7476]

Luxor has been at the top of our 'worst buffet in Vegas' list for a very very long time. Thank you for preventing us from needing to go this year because it looks like they're going to win again for 2024.

It's $17!! What are/were you expecting? Lol.

[@Singleballtheory]

Got a trip planned in the very near future and have been watching your videos for reviews of all kinds, especially food options. Thank you for all the honest reviews. It's been quite helpful in weighing out cost versus quality versus location versus overall experience. I'm feeling pretty confident about not only where we're going to be staying but also our itinerary while we're there. Thanks again!

[@jasonmelton9755]

"Uneven cooking seems to be the theme here." LOL The last time I ate at the old Pharaoh's Pheast buffet was in 2012. The first time was back in 2003. In those days it was top quality for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They had a section for Mediterranean cuisine, rivaled only by the same at the Spice Market Buffet inside the old Aladdin Hotel (Planet Hollywood).

[@zaddyvegas]

Appreciate that you keep these updated and current.

[@patriot925]

Did Luxor buffet once and didn't have any complaints. But then I ate mostly breakfast 🥞 food and didn't do dessert. Omelette station was terrific. No buffet anywhere blows me away, regardless of price. They are mostly cheap food. But I love finding excellent food at excellent prices. You get what you pay for @ Luxor. Purpose of buffets is to eat as much as you can. It's quantity over quality. So stick with food that doesn't require much skill to cook like eggs, sausage and bacon. That's why breakfast buffets work well for me. Sauces require more skill. If I load up on breakfast I can skip lunch and have a light dinner. Saves me money in Vegas.

[@surft]

If you come to Asia, I wish you try buffets there. Miles above anything in most of the US and quality is indeed good (most of the time)

[@JohnWilliams-mt6fx]

Thanks for the update. Back in the early 2000s. The property was high value and quality which included the buffet which cost around $12.

[@Challin81]

I was thinking of going to this buffet on our trip. I'm so glad you reviewed it so we knew that it wasn't worth it! I would've used my myVegas points, so glad I should use them for something else. We're going to Vegas on a Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning. It stinks that a lot of the good/affordable buffets aren't open during that time. I wish I would have known that before we planned the days we'd be there. Thanks for your videos! They've made planning this trip so much easier!! They're great!!!

[@vincemerrell3993]

My best guess is that buffets are in their final decline. I expect some will survive but I doubt the hotels on the strip will retain much longer and choose to replace with food courts.

[@Singleballtheory]

In terms of cheap buffets, I would agree. And not just in Vegas but really all across the country. They were on the decline even before covid. Most of them have simply never re-opened. I still think certain kinds of buffets will exist. Brazilian BBQs come to mind. Again, not cheap by any means, but the price point *should* reflect the food quality and overall dining experience you're going to get at one. Also mongolian grills because essentially every plate you get is going to be freshly cooked and made to order. I happen to love buffets so I certainly do miss them.

[@vincemerrell3993]

@@Singleballtheory I guess you get what you pay for. In the general way that the cost of everything in Vegas is going, it doesn't add up that the AYCE concept can stack up against the general need to scrape more and more revenue per visitor. I'm a Brit who happens to love visiting Vegas ... buffets here are reasonably rare but food courts are becoming omnipresent, I guess it's very on-trend right now but that's going to kill buffets even faster (imho) and I believe there's quite a few Vegas buffets who've already succumbed to the 'conversion'

[@davidcrowton2545]

Ruby you and your hubby doing great. Make that media so glad to see how much you've grown. I think I've been following you since you had like 10000 followers or something. Good luck glad to see it love it❤❤❤

[@brandonbright9879]

The theming that lives on within this buffet is what brings me back. The food is not gonna be top of the line but for a decent breakfast when you want a variety of options, I think it’s a pretty good for what it is

[@reelreeler8778]

First time I've ever seen you laugh at how bad something tasted......Thanks for the heads-up!

[@donnabolton1870]

I was debating going to the Luxor buffet this week but after your review I’m passing on it. Thanks for the honest review !

[@angelaa1611]

When it comes to Vegas buffets (especially post-covid), it's better to spend a bit more money and avoid places like this. There used to be some really great, less-expensive, buffets but in my experience, that's a thing of the past. Bellagio is still really good. It's not cheap but it's not $100 like Wynn and Cesar's either. I love their brunch!

[@donnabolton1870]

Buffets in general in Vegas are either terrible and cheap or very expensive and good. Back when I started going in 2010 they were so much better

[@FurrKnight]

That Vegas is dead my friend (and it is never coming back from what it seems), just keep the good memories and never go back. That is what I did at least, so much of the world left to explore

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

That's because Vegas is so crowded now they just have to decide will they cater to the Walmart crowd and cook massive unseasoned goop or cater to the Uber Chic and rich ASF like The Wynn. There is no more Buffet Middle Ground.

Thanks Ruby for another GREAT review, I am staying @ the Luxor next month and I did have thoughts of trying the buffet with the My Vegas coupon but I will use the buffet coupon for the MGM Grand. Thanks again.

We got to the Luxor buffet at the end of the day. They decided to cut up the decorated cakes that were for sale…omg! So delicious! With an ice cold glass of milk….heaven!

Another great review! Whenever me and my husband plan Vegas trips, we binge all your food videos. Would LOVE to see a review on best Mocktails in Vegas! ❤

[@RealWallyGator]

You can always go to one of the $80 buffets. Vegas is just not a bargain anymore. They used to have tons of hotel and buffet deals and made their money from gambling. IDK if people aren’t gambling as much or if the hotels are just more greedy now.

[@Baker-Antarctica]

South point has a great buffet as does main street station, both still very affordable too.

[@alexstorm777]

It's Greed!

Corporate greed is Vegas' new mafia type of greed.

[@jamminj8822]

"I loved how themed it is"... LOL... that is my first Vegas Memory, all the themed hotels! My first trip, I rode rides at the MGM Theme park!! - where the signature towers are now.

[@HateDietPepsi]

This buffet looks like the buffets from the 1990s when they charged $4.99. It was a lost leader, but they were trying to attract people into their casino to gamble.

[@RealWallyGator]

$20 hotel rooms and $5 buffets to get people to come gamble at their establishment. Those were the days. Now they charge through the nose for EVERYTHING. Vegas is not a great place to go anymore.

[@MoGeeinternationalsince1969]

That’s a good observation. Agree.

A made to order omelette or some sliced ham or turkey and side of fruit would be a good choice…and a good deal for “on strip” prices… * IF* it’s BOGO. Thank you for the review.😊
