Caesars Bacchanal Buffet, Las Vegas

Reviewer: Foodnut.com Caesars Palace 3570 Las Vegas Blvd S Las Vegas, NV 89109 (702) 731-7928 Caesars Palace Website

Is this still the Best buffet in Vegas?

The Caesars Bacchanal Buffet was the latest and greatest buffet to open in 2012. They spent $100 million to create the best buffet in Vegas. 25,000 square feet of gluttony. Some have called it the next great buffet after Wynn and Bellagio, so we had to give it a visit.  The only other top rated buffet we have not tried in Vegas is the Palms AYCE. We’ve been here several times. How would this buffet compare to the competition in 2025 after the Pandemic?

How would it compare to the best buffets FoodNut has been to in Conrad Hong Kong Sunday Brunch Buffet or Ritz Carlton Singapore Sunday Brunch Buffet

Remember – There is a 90 minute limit to the gluttony.

Bacchanal Buffet Reservation are via Opentable. There was a wait, when we visited for dinner in 2025, even though we had reservations. $84.99 a person for dinner, $87.99 on the weekends. Discount for Rewards Members. No senior discount or military discount.

Brunch is a little cheaper.  No more low cost breakfast buffets!

Soft drinks, tea, coffee, water. You can ask for several drinks up front! (Coffee, Soda, and a Juice works for me) Alcohol is extra.

• Open Mon, Tu-Sun  – 9 AM – 10 PM
• Open Tu, Wed – 330 PM – 10 PM

Interesting tidbit: They used to give out cool mini silicon hot mits to prevent burning when picking up hot items.

Summary – Excellent buffet, beautiful modern location, definitely go if you are a buffet fans.
Insider Tip – Come for Dinner on the weekend

Cuisine – International
Location – Las Vegas, Caesars Palace Hotel

Decor, Vibe – The Bacchanal Buffet spent a ton of money remodeling this area and it shows. Clean, modern, upscale. Nine different food stations serving a variety of cuisine. 500 items every day, 300 items at dinner, makes it easy to find something for everybody. Roughly 15 daily chefs specials are added to the menu.

Buffet Optimization Tips

• Walk the entire buffet and start with the most appealing items
• With each plate, your level of happiness decreases
• Try food you would never order. You may like it!
• Do not fill up on bread, soup, water
• Take only what you will eat
• Do not try to eat enough to make it worth it – You’ll just feel bad later
• You will be SUPER full afterwards.  A great time to walk through the Forum shops and out onto the Strip

Service – Caesars Bacchanal Buffet had above average service. The waitress was around to help with drinks and plate changes. Better service than most buffets.

Value – Pricing is reasonable, but on the high side, given the location and quality level. Come for brunch on Saturday or Sunday if you want to save money and get unlimited Champagne.

Alternatives – Nearby buffets of this caliber include the Wynn Buffet, Wicked Spoon in the Cosmopolitan, and the Bellagio Buffet.

Verdict – Caesars Bacchanal Buffet is one of the best Vegas buffets. The location and venue are beautiful and modern. Food quality is high but not as high as Bally’s. The food was not as inventive as Wicked Spoon. Their strongest areas are the cooked food section including meat entrees and Italian food.

Buffets in Asia take this concept to another level. Check out our reviews of the Ritz Carlton Singapore Sunday Brunch buffet and the Conrad Hong Kong Sunday Brunch.
