The price for his all-you-can-eat Chuck Wagon Buffet: a mere $1. As a result, they remain dining destinations for many visitors.īy most accounts, Las Vegas buffets were born in 1946 when Beldon Katleman put out some cold cuts and a few hot dishes at the El Rancho Vegas in an effort to keep guests in the casino through the late-night hours. There may be no place on Earth that allows guests unlimited access to as many different cuisines prepared by master chefs for a fixed price.
And teams of talented chefs work hard to make sure the Strip’s top buffets offer unparalleled dining experiences. Buffets are as ingrained in Las Vegas’ DNA as feathered showgirls, neon lights and Wayne Newton.
