@@Vegas-Must-Try Having worked for them, it's doubtful MGM Grand management wants to really remodel, it's like they're not sure if they want to shut it down to save on expenses or keep open so they can have a buffet in name only to impress tourists. Excalibur and Luxor have basically identical buffets as MGM Grand with the same business hours, prices, but nicer decor. These are all ok buffets to try once for tourists or casino customers with comps. All others should look elsewhere.

Thanks for the review of the MGM Grand Buffet, Jorge! You are right about the chairs. They do actually look like those from a ballroom. The food didn't look that appealing but the price does kind of match it, especially in the location. There are at least 2 items I would not go for at a buffet Sushi and prime rib. I would go for items like fried chicken, mash potatoes and steamed vegetables, fresh fruit and the salad bar. That's just me.

@@Vegas-Must-Try Well, you do these comparisons and they are informative and entertaining, thx. So you would be focused on every last lepton of value and nuance. I am a mere consumer. I only ask: am I getting value for my money? Is the venue pleasant? Is the selection good? Realistically, nobody can make a dent in these offerings consistent with health and reason. I used to go to Chi buffets regularly maybe 30 years ago. They were all really good, they had their own personalities. Yeah, you could get, whatever the lyric was, frizzle-frazzle sauce on the side at the Four Seasons that you might not get at the Palmer House. But they were all welcoming and lovely and you could have a great time with friends and family. That's the humble perspective I bring to the table and it strikes me that this buffet would have passed with flying colours. Excuse length of reply.

Overall the vibe is no different from our local casino in our town or as someone else said Hometown Buffet and considering that you are at the MGM and the price you pay the ambiance seems lacking. Also, I am guessing from some of the food presentations including the Tornados that they buy everything from the local food wholesaler (such as Sysco) and hardly make anything fresh. Tornados are sold at many convenience stores throughout the midwest and of course, they are also sold at 7-Eleven.

since they reopened the buffets post pandemic, mgm is ABSOLUTELY NOT worth the money - ill preface this with saying im not the type of person who eats a big breakfast but their lunch offerings aren't good either. mgms dinner buffet on the weekends pre-pandemic was excellent, with bellagio being the best for me out of the mgm properties. avoid until dinner buffets come back IMO
