Bacchanal Buffet

Bacchanal Buffet is a large international buffet inside Caesars Palace, 3570 Las Vegas Blvd S, on the center Strip of Las Vegas, Nevada. It is regarded as one of the largest and best-known buffets in the city, built around open-kitchen stations where cooks prepare food in view of the dining room. The stations cover many world cuisines, including American, Asian, Mexican, Italian and seafood, along with dessert and gelato areas.

Several items are consistently mentioned: chilled king crab legs, slow-roasted prime rib, made-to-order dim sum and street tacos, and a large selection of desserts including gelato. The range of stations means that visitors can sample many cuisines in one visit, and the buffet format suits groups with varying tastes. Prices are high for a buffet, at roughly $80-95 per person at dinner, with lunch and brunch costing less. The price usually includes unlimited return visits to the stations, with drinks at an extra cost or a separate drink package.

The dining room is large, bright and busy, with a festive, noisy atmosphere, especially at weekend brunch and dinner. Dress is casual. Queues are a defining feature of a visit: peak-time waits can last an hour or more, and the restaurant is open for brunch, lunch and dinner on most days, though some days are closed, so the website should be checked before planning.

Reservations are available online and are strongly advised, particularly for Friday to Sunday and holiday periods. Booking several days ahead is prudent, with more notice for large groups. Visiting for lunch or brunch is the cheaper choice and often provides the best value, while dinner includes premium items such as crab legs. The buffet is within Caesars Palace and is reached on foot from the Forum Shops, Linq Promenade and neighboring resorts.
