Sometimes you just have to hit the buffet when you don’t know exactly what you want to eat—and, truth to tell, when you want to eat more than usual. 

Six minutes from us is the Market Place Buffet inside The Resort at Summerlin where the food is mostly satisfying—in a hit-and-miss buffet kind of way. The price is right too: $35.99 for dinner every day—except Friday for the $55.99 seafood buffet—particularly during these challenging economic times. 

So many sweet pleasures to indulge in—if you’ve saved room for them. (Image: Vegas 411)

We dropped in on a Tuesday for their “Fiesta Night.” Beyond the buffet’s usual hand-carved meats, pasta, wood-fired pizza, Asian offerings, and varied desserts, you can sample the chicken and steak fajitas, beef tamales, chicken tortilla soup, street corn on the cob, shrimp ceviche, enchiladas, and more. None of the main dishes we sampled was truly exceptional but alas, the buffet did the trick of delivering an ample amount of good food at a wallet-friendly price in an lively environment. Plus, I’m always on board for their bread pudding with whiskey sauce.

Other theme nights at Market Place Buffet—located adjacent to the buzzing Neighborhood Food Hall that has really enhanced the hotel—include Deli, Aloha, and Prime Rib along with a Saturday-Sunday champagne brunch. They also offer an all-you-can-drink-beer-and-wine deal for $7.99 more. Much as I admire all the smartly curated food halls in the city, there’s nothing like a classic Vegas buffet.
