WORST Buffet in Las Vegas? Luxor Buffet Reviewed.

[@luckcometome]

Your facial expressions said it all.😂. Thanks for taking the risk😅. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful WinsDay. ❤☘🥰☘❤

[@UpUpOurWay]

Haha! I didn’t get sick from the food so I guess it might have been worse! Thanks Darci!

[@jeffvansloten1897]

Her expressions eating that crap is worth the subscription... Thank you for your sacrifice.

[@UpUpOurWay]

🤣😂 thank you!

[@SportsBoss999]

That was very funny. I knew from my experience that buffet wasn't any good, but I watched to see if she had the same opinion as I came away with. The answer was YUP!

[@ohdogwow2]

I haven't eaten at the Luxor Buffet since 2009. But I have watched a lot of youtube videos of other people's visit since covid. I'm under the impression that MGM Resorts is using the Luxor Buffet as a dumping ground for their other buffets and restaurants daily left over food. I think all the staff is doing is reheating most of the food they serve. It would explain why the textures of the food are always off in every video I watch. "All You Can Vegas" had a video where they scooped out scrambled eggs from the line and the eggs were ice cold. Not room temperature cold, refrigerated cold. Danny the Medic has video where the pancake was so stiff he was hitting the pancake against plates and flatware and there was impact noise.

[@MH_6160]

Never thought of this, but I can totally see them doing it…

[@UpUpOurWay]

Haha, I will have to go look. I don’t like to watch videos before I go because I like to keep an open mind, but now, it will just be funny. I know people have complained about it, but I didn’t think it would be as bad as it was! 😂🤣

[@SportsBoss999]

@@UpUpOurWay I know what you mean! I was like "it can't be as bad as everyone says, right?" Wrong. 🤣

[@emailuser8668]

MGM Grand, Luxor, Excalibur all have the same buffet menu, suppliers. They have a selection of lots of ok food, but not good or bad. Only brunch is served $30, $33 on weekends. Skip the pizza, pasta, salads and scrambled eggs- frozen egg product from a factory, but get an omelet from the omlet station. Stick to their carved meats and specialty items, save room for dessert.

[@mike50cal.26]

Hi Melissa, Thanks for being the guinea pig for this video.😂 I'll never eat there. Not even if it was free. Thanks again. You're a boss!!!!

Swings and Roundabouts with the buffets. You get what you pay for. Luxor buffet is good when you have a hella hangover and don’t want to pay Wynn prices.

[@UpUpOurWay]

Haha that might work! Hangover buffet!

[@micheletimby7]

Your facial expressions in this video were priceless, Melissa 🤣🤣🤣

[@UpUpOurWay]

I know! I laughed so hard watching the video back 😂😂😂

[@JNO_VLOGS]

Good honest review Melissa. I stayed at Luxor a few times, first trip in 1995 and like 3 times after. I am not a fan of buffets and I have ate at the buffet Luxor pre Covid because comped and would not go back. I would rather pay for a nice meal somewhere. Buffets in Vegas are not the same and overrated especially price wise and wait times.

[@UpUpOurWay]

We’re also not big on buffets but we know people love them and so we’re trying them all! I agree, I’d rather pay than feel disappointed that way, especially on vacation! Thanks JNo!

[@DD-Lo]

Hi, Happy New Year! People say Circus Circus 🎪 buffet is bad,..(which it isn't great). However it's better than Luxor. Lol. Maybe you guys can compare the two? Thanks for the video. 😊

[@UpUpOurWay]

Oh good lord, CC still has a buffet? 🤣😂

[@lloydbaker6988]

Thanks, Melissa and Enrique 👍

[@UpUpOurWay]

Thank you Lloyd!

[@gotyor]

Thanks for the video saved me from going there. One of the things I do is ask to tour the buffet. Because even an expensive buffet can be having a bad night. Plus you can tell with your eyes what's going to be good and what's not going to make the cut. So pro tip for some of your viewers... before you wait in a long line and spend your money, just tour the buffet first!

[@UpUpOurWay]

That’s a great idea! Sometimes just looking around you know if it’s going to be good or not. 😃

[@tfsonicyouth88]

I heard worst is circus circus excaliber is slowly getting better but just a bit .

[@UpUpOurWay]

Excalibur was way better IMO. I haven’t tried Circus Circus. Should I be afraid? 😂

[@holliesheet3182]

1:45 You are a pro to follow through after saying, "Honestly, I think I've had better...staying at a smaller hotel with free breakfast."

[@UpUpOurWay]

🤣😂 oh I’ll totally eat those free breakfasts too, but I grab a couple of things like toast and a banana or maybe cereal or yogurt. I won’t always eat the “hot” food. But it’s freeee!

[@am7062skywalker]

Hi Melissa, I ike your reviews, Keep it going. Sounds as if you were giving an honest opinion 😂.

[@UpUpOurWay]

Thanks AM. Enrique often says I’m too nice, so that says a lot about this place! 🤣😂

[@rayserna428]

Sorry Melissa but I was lol at your facial expressions when you tried the cheese blintz 😂😂 After watching this review I think I'd rather go to Excalibur. But good video though 👍🏼👍🏼

[@UpUpOurWay]

Seriously, I laughed at myself watching it back! There’s always one or 2 things I don’t like and sometimes it’s just preference. This was just bad in too many ways.

[@jameshavard3182]

Just the decor is worth the price. I am not picky with food. I go for the ambiance and make it a relaxation break. So, what ruins it for me? Noise, chatter, loud talking, complaining. etc. Monastery silence perfect, group therapy session chatter no thanks.

[@UpUpOurWay]

I liked the decor. It was so much fun! I’m not picky either, James, but this place had so few edible options. It was so weird!

[@SanDiegoVets]

Luxor buffet is not the best but I do like the omelets there you can order yourself! I agree pancakes were horrible

[@UpUpOurWay]

Yes, the omelette I got was very fresh and made to order!

[@whimsicalhamster88]

I went about a month ago and paid with comps. I’d agree that it’s good enough if it’s free or discounted. Palms is still my fave so far. I need to check out South Point.

[@UpUpOurWay]

Good to know about Palms. Maybe that one is next on our list!

[@MH_6160]

Palms is really good, probably one of the better values in town. @@UpUpOurWay

[@SportsBoss999]

I've heard great things about the Palms buffet. It's called the AYCE buffet I believe (All You Can Eat).

[@Robert.Eichler]

Wow near saw you complain before. Facial expressions are priceless. Good video content and Informative as always. Why don’t you have Enrique be a tester next time. You do the best hotel buffet reviews. Look forward to Palms.

[@UpUpOurWay]

I’m not too picky of an eater so I don’t complain too often, but there were way too many bad dishes here. It’s too bad!

[@Broccoli_Wizard]

boo to crumbly cheese blintz! Great review guys.

[@UpUpOurWay]

That cheese was gross 🤢 . I’m sure it was sitting out and dried up or something. Nasty!

[@VFall80]

I know I mentioned that there has been some detheming at Luxor (Aurora used to be Nefertiti) but the funny thing the buffet originally was on the attractions level and had a New York theme!

[@UpUpOurWay]

How do you even remember all of this?!? I barely remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday 😂🤣

[@savagenation236]

I Love Your Facial Expressions It Definitely Said It All, I Guess That's Why Enrique Don't Do The Food Reviews I Could Picture A Different Outcome Of This Video 😂, We Haven't Tried The Luxor Buffet But We Were Ok With The Excalibur Buffet And Thought They Would Of Been Very Similar

[@UpUpOurWay]

Exactly! I expected it to be like Excalibur, which was sooo much better! Btw, check your email and/or IG

[@richghione461]

Rio for me! Palms #2

[@UpUpOurWay]

Rio did have a great buffet in its heyday, but it’s long gone and being replaced by a food court 😭

[@Curtis45100]

ROTFL.....Melissa!! That face you made when you took a bite of the cheese thing was classic!! I thought you were going to throw up....Lol.... It would have been just fine to spit it out if it was that nasty tastin'..... Hard biscuits even drenched in gravy? Yick! Great review!!! Your facial expressions for sure say it all...... Keep it up.

[@UpUpOurWay]

I just couldn’t spit it out on camera -stage fright 😂🤣 I know, my facial expressions had me laughing watching it back too. It was just not good food! Thanks Curtis!

[@markk8124]

Aside from the disappointing food… the decor and atmosphere looks depressing.

[@UpUpOurWay]

I kind of liked the cheesiness of it! 🤣

[@AmberFromVancouver]

I think this boofay can be called the "Ithinkits".. they should leverage the mystery of the unlabelled items to their advantage like a game.... ""I think it's beef, I think it's peaches, I think it's coffee cake, I think it's food.."" 🤣 Thanks for taking one for the team you crazy kids! ❤

[@UpUpOurWay]

Totally! It’s a good thing I’m not too picky. It’s just terrible 😂🤣

[@dkcchock4451]

Circus Circus is the worst

[@grottorabbit]

Years ago i had the Excalibur buffet and it was decent, but the next day I thought the Luxor would be better and I was highly disappointed! It amazes me how restaurants serve meatless country gravy. Sausage or bacon gravy is easy to make! I made Sausage gravy in my Vdara room last year. Even if you're using store bought/Jimmy Dean type Sausage, it's better than the packeged stuff a lot of restaurants serve! Excalibur is better for a strip buffet. I need to try South Point's buffet, because I love their late night specials!

[@UpUpOurWay]

Yes, it’s so weird not to add sausage! You definitely should try Southpoint. It’s pretty darn good, especially for the price!

[@VegasVideos1234]

I ate at the Excalibur buffet in April and it sounds very similar. The carving station/omlette station food was good, but there was a line and it was slow moving. The rest of the food was below average quality. Nothing was delicious. Just mediocre at best. It sounds like Luxor is similar or worse. Over 30 dollars is expensive in my opinion. These cheaper Vegas buffets used to be like 12.99 or so for lunch or breakfast. Golden Corral is way better than the Excalibur buffet, and it is way cheaper. And I am not saying Golden Corral is high end cuisine by any means lol. But they have great fried chicken, mashed potatoes, meatloaf, green beans, rolls, cake, etc. It's better tasting food.

[@UpUpOurWay]

We have eaten at Excalibur buffet a couple of times in the last year and quality was much better than Luxor, so that’s telling you something 🤣. You’re right that Excalibur is mediocre but I found the food edible and fresher. Is it worth the $33? Probably not, but it’s darn Vegas pricing. Moral of the story, if you didn’t like Excalibur, stay far away from Luxor ! 🤣 😄

[@805IS]

I went to the Luxor buffet during F1 weekend....it was an interesting experience hahaha, first time back to a Vegas buffet since pre-pandemic, the theming is definitely really cool, the food was pretty bad, but the chinese section was pretty good, and then we had our seats at the far end close to the exit and it felt like the longest walk ever when heading to the food stations 🤣 any other buffet recommendations?

[@UpUpOurWay]

To me, Wicked Spoon at Cosmo is really good. It’s $47 but if you have Sterling with their players card you get a BOGO once a month. The food there is way better and they have some unique selections. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWSXhmehaMl6fJIsi=0jwg3wi2Za0mAw2b Also Southpoint if you have a car is more traditional but really good. Only $26.95 if you have a players card (just get one if you don’t have) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIippIalnq13qtksi=dREs6eWEkLeeEbXT

[@walaaglaiem6146]

😍😍

[@SportsBoss999]

Melissa, I was both cringing and laughing at the same time! You were a trooper to keep trying food when the results were "inconsistent" let's say. I've stayed at the Luxor two different times and love the casino, but I went to that buffet only one time in 12 days of my vacation there. It's just not very good. If you don't get the freshly made food (like you had with the omelet), it's a crapshoot at best. And you made two particularly good points; one positive and one negative. When you go down there it's a very cool looking setting for a buffet - I had forgotten about that. But my biggest pet peeve, that you correctly pointed out several times, was the fact of how poorly things were marked - if at all. That bugs me too. Well, you learned a lesson in Las Vegas - stay far far away from the Luxor buffet!

[@UpUpOurWay]

Haha I cracked up at myself watching it back! I’m not a picky eater at all so this was very telling. Maybe I’d go again if I had a BOGO via the MyVEGAS App but I’d rather just go to Excalibur buffet. It’s much better!

Lol I just have to ask..I have noticed on your live streams and in this video you call Enrique ....Enriqa (short a) and isn't the correct pronunciation Enriq ehh? Just wondering how hispanics say his name? I know....you have been married many years, I'm just asking out of stupid curiosity.

There was food there that "how do you mess that up?" How do you mess up a cheese blintz, biscuits and gravy, and potatoes, plus a lot of the other items? No taco side items like no cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, etc? Just strange. And at $33.99 yet? Sounds like a lot of reheated or boil in a bag items, like that biscuit gravy that sounds like 50 cent add water and stir gravy packets
