There are a few cheapskate coupons on this site. In general food is cheap in Vegas. For Buffets avoid Circus Circus at all costs

Paris has a really good Buffet! it cost us 24 dollars each (i think drinks were 9 bucks though so bring your drink in from somewhere else..they let you) but they had a huge buffet, prime rib, snow crab legs, prawns, pork, chicken, a million different desserts (the best creme brulet i have ever had!) but my fave part was the crepes, they will make you a crepe and u can have anything u want in it..well worth the 25 bucks..it closes at 11 so make sure you dont go too late..we got rushed out as soon as the time was up..reallly rushed out! This was last month, so the price will be the same im sure.

I was there beginning of Oct and had the Treasure Island lunch buffet for $16. Seem to be the cheapest mentioned so far but it tastes like it too.
I found the best bet for cheep eating was to go to Subway and get a $5 footlong. Somewhat healthy, tasty, cheep and quick so you can get back to doing better things.

There is an all you can eat sushi restaurant called Todai that is really good. It's cheaper at lunch than at dinner.

I vote for Bellagio too. It's a bit pricier than the others but it's worth it. We always go to Bellagio when we go to Vegas.

Bellagio sounds good - I wonder if they will have something special on Christmas day when I'm there.

I agree about the Bellagio. You'll be paying a similar price at any of the decent casinos, so you might as well go for a really good one. A lot of people seem to like the cold king crab legs that they have on the buffet, but they'll be happy to steam them for you if you ask.

with buffets, it is not how much you pay, but how much you eat

like you said, the cheap ones are cheap for a reason. spend the money and enjoy the feast while you are there.

....Bellagio is great as is Wynn. most of the newer hotels are good.

For watching the game, you could always check the sportsbook wherever you're staying to see if they have center ice.

Paris buffet was not good, just ok.
Planet Hollywoods Spice Buffet was large and very good.
Todai sushi buffet in the mile mall was awesome.
Other guys we were ther with said the MGM was not as good as the PH, but still resonable.
