Vegas Buffet Challenge: Running a half marathon after Vegas' Best Italian Buffet at Buddy V's

It's time for Vegas again and this time I'm participating in the 1/2 Marathon event that takes place on the Vegas Strip. My friend noticed I was getting a little round lately and suggested the Vegas marathon to off set things. How could I turn down an excuse to go to Vegas!
But before the run, we needed to fuel up and I can't think of a better way to get our nutrition than at a buffet! Buddy V's Ristorante at the Venetian offers an incredible Sunday Italian Brunch Buffet and I've always wanted to go but have put this off as I was expecting a lot of carbs. However, with the run, this would be the perfect opportunity. And I was also wrong about too many carbs at this buffet! Along with the amazing traditional pizzas (made to perfection by the way) and pastas, there were seafood, perfectly grilled steaks, and more. If you are in Vegas and manage to make a visit, make sure to get many slices that pepper crusted striploin from Orgo. So tender one can cut it with a butter knife. Great experience and don't forget about the desserts with the panna cottas, cannolis and more!

Enjoyed this video. I ate at this buffet about a month ago. It is my favorite. The selection may be small but the quality is unmatched. A couple of things. I ate every one of the desserts and you really missed out by not trying the cheesecake. I told my wife if I had it to over again I would skip every other dessert and just eat 3 or 4 of the cheesecakes. Also the French Toast off of the ordering menu was heavenly.

We recommended Bay Nine for omakase but if you’re able to get a booking at Kuon theirs is excellent too! If you’re around Wynyard, I love Totti’s for their woodfire bread, have it with burrata and tomatoes and any other sides! I also love Ragazzi as well as their sister shop, Fabbrica Pasta shop, for their pasta! If you like Vietnamese food you have to travel out to Cabramatta (where I am) or Bankstown! I can talk about food all day, I love going to places to try new food 😂 We don’t have Michelin stars here but we do chefs hats instead, almost any of the chef hats places will be amazing. My top pick as I said yesterday is definitely Lumi, the one that does fusion Italian and Japanese :)
