Ate at the buffet while in Vegas. Suggest getting a players card first(deducts $5.00 off if price) so paid about $22.00 which is comparable to canadian buffets that are similar. Lots of stations to choose from and is in the Palms Casino

I am glad we only paid $25 for the buffet and we didn't wait too long because it wasn't nothing to special. Most of the food was dry and not very good. The French Onion soup was pretty good and the fried chicken was seasoned...well just really dry. If you are visiting or staying at The Palms I would try other restaurants before choosing the buffet.More

An average buffet. We wanted to try something off the strip. It was a champagne brunch so it was a little more than a regular lunch $27 for this meal. The sushi was dry like it sitting around for a while and the roast beef...was also dry. The variety was not a vast as I would have liked. This would not be my first choice for dining at this price point.More

We are there Feb. Although I have never had prison food, if given a choice I would choose a tray before this buffet. I'm not exactly sure what the after taste in everything was but you will never forget it. I seriously questioned every piece...of meat on the buffet and spit it out. I'm not a picky eater and will usually eat anything and not complain. Seriously I'm a human trash can when it comes to food and this was not eatible. $17.50 a person. Don't waste your money. I would recommend eating road kill raw before dining here. I think a pack of rabid raccoons would eat here. This was the located at The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. Save yourself the disappointment on this place.More

Came here for the lobster buffet ($65 plus tax per person) held on Wednesdays and were impressed. As many lobster tails, full lobster and crabs legs as you like in a 1.5 hour slot, along with all the usual buffet favourites such as prime rib,...smoked brisket, jumbo shrimp, chinese dishes, pizza, desserts etc. We queued from around 1.30 p.m. (it starts at 2 p.m. on Wednesdays) and at 2.05 p.m. we were told we would be called back for our table at around 3.35 (so 1.5 hours wait). We were actually called back for our table after about 50 minutes, so were happy with that, but I think it was a quiet day as we could see many empty tables and only a small queue as we were leaving. Our table service was not great and we sat with empty drinks and used plates for quite a while, but it didn't affect our enjoyment of our lunch. If you like lobster, this is the place to go, as there's no limit to how much lobster you can have in the allocated time.More

A.Y.C.E (All You Can Eat) buffet in the Palms Las Vegas is a little known gem, or so we thought until we arrived. We went on a Wed. which is "All you can eat lobster night" for about $65.00/person (kids are less). There were not...only lobster tails, but whole lobsters, which surprised us. Snow crab legs, jumbo shrimp, sushi, salad bar, brisket and deserts are only a few of the other items available. Crab lovers night is on Thurs. and I assume there is most likely king crab as well as the snow crab. This is one of the ONLY Vegas buffets that serve dinner aka supper. Most other buffets close at 3 pm. IMPORANT TIP: the average wait for this buffet is 2 hours. Be sure to check in with the reservations person who is to the right of the line. They will get your phone number and text you when your table is ready. You do not need to stand in line for the 2 hour duration. There are plenty of slots to play on during the wait time. MUST TRY: pot stickers. The outside is slightly sweet and the pork on the inside has a smoked flavor. My husband said the brisket was the best he has ever had. We enjoy sharing our dining experiences with others in hopes of guiding them to the best places!More

Our stay at the buffet, was a complete disappointment. We were staying at the Venetian, and heard the buffet was an amazing place to eat. We could have clearly eaten, based on the location we were staying, at the Wynn or Bacchanal, but our hearts...were set on eating at an affordable place with amazing cuisine (given the reviews we read) despite the distance. Google images and travel influencers about the buffet stated dinner was 36.99 on Thursday, but apparently rates and dates have changed to lobster dinner for 64.99 on Thursday. Both my partner and I don't eat seafood, and requested if we could just eat the regular dinner. The hostess stated these were the rates with no exception. Seeing that we had traveled a great distance and we were incredibly hungry, we stayed for the buffet, and requested to speak to a head supervisor if an exception could have been made. We explained our situation to our server, and asked to speak to a manager. Unfortunately no supervisor had arrived, and based on time restraints we were left with no choice but to leave to avoid being late to our next heading. As a recommendation, I would suggest purging Google imagery that perpetuates misleading information. In addition, as a suggestion, offering a wrist band to delineate between patrons who want lobster dinner or not. It's a tough sell to recommend this place or the Palms to our network of friends, based on our experience.More

This place does not take reservations via phone nor online. (I called twice - never picked up). I was also told by them in person that they don't make reservations. I had a flight to catch at 11pm so I showed up to the buffet...around 4pm and had to stand in a 15 min. line to make a reservation. Once they placed my name in, they told me its a 2.5 hour wait. I asked for a sooner time since I had a flight to catch but I was turned down. So, I decided that it wasn't worth my time to wait and went elsewhere. I peeked at their tables and there were plenty of open tables. I believe they were purposefully making people wait so that they could spend more money at the casino. Huge mistake, I will never spend my money at this casino. If you value your time, choose elsewhere. Not worth the time.More

With so few buffets left in Vegas, we asked our cab driver for a recommendation. He was right on with this one. We went for Sunday brunch, and actually waited in line for an hour and a half--but all four in our group agreed that...it was worth the wait. HUGE number of choices. Everything fresh and hot. Refillable mimosas at no extra cost. Our beverage server was Will, and he was attentive, quick, and friendly. (We've been to other buffets where the beverage server just disappears after the first order...) The meal was pricey (not like the old days) but we felt that we more than got our money's worth.More

We went with the promise of unlimited Lobster for $65.00. Our anticipation was high. but at the end of the meal our satisfaction was very low. In order to gain entry into the Buffet that starts at 2:00 PM you are encouraged to get in...line at 10:00 AM. They start selling meal vouchers at 12:00 Noon. Once you pay for your meal vouchers you are given the privilege to get in a second line and wait two hours for the buffet to give you permission to enter the dining area. Soooooo. Wait four hours for the right to join the Royal Order of Lobster Mongers.... Never again! The quality of lobsters was uneven. Many were overcooked and rubbery. The selection of food other than lobster was dissapointing and not much better than The Golden Corral. If you consider your time valuable, you should avoid this Lobster Trap. I would prefer to pay more money and not waste time at The Palms Buffet.More

This is not a high quality Buffet as rated here and on YouTube. We had breakfast here and were highly disappointed. The food was not very well prepared as it was either undercooked or overcooked. The coffee served at our table was burnt and had...a very unpleasant smell while the orange juice was watered down and rancid. The desserts were just sweet and no flavor at all. The servers were OK (doing the best they can with the bad food and drinks). The omelet/egg station was the least of the worst and the only food we ate there. The bread is a joke as you only get sliced and wholegrain or white. The place looks tired and in need of a remodel. Don't waste your money or time here. We will NOT return.More

So much better since it's been renovated. I love their Breakfast Buffet cuz they have so many unique food items you don't see on most buffets - quiche, tapioca pudding topped with fresh fruit, cauliflower grits, pesto egg dish and wonderful fresh squeezed Mango juice...that they always run out of!! They have a great selection of fresh fruit too. They have the standard items like omelettes, bacon, sausage and pancakes, etc. and a nice variety of pastries/breads. I've tried their lunch buffet but i really prefer the breakfast buffet. Be sure to get a Player's Card so you get the discount.More
