Las Vegas buffet coupons

[stinkrbell]

We are heading to Vegas after Christmas. After going last year and spending 140.00 on a buffet for 2 adults and 4 children, I am hoping to find some dining coupons. Anyone know where I can find some or know of some inexpensive family options for meals?

We are heading to Vegas after our Disney trip (without kids) but I found this website that gives a few options: http://www.sallybernstein.com/travel/with-kids/lasvegaswithkids.htm

Here's another one I found: http://www.thelvh.com/Hotel/dining/casual/buffet
they give military discounts or try eating lunch instead of dinner?

I hope this helps? Have fun!

Keep an eye on groupon. They regularly have deals for buffets at Spice Market, the buffet at Paris, and the one at Rio.

Might be too late for this particular trip but you can play MyVegas on facebook and earn credits for buffets (and other items). The last trip to Vegas we went on we got free tickets to KA (category A tickets) and a free lunch buffet at the Belagio all for playing MyVegas.

Yes, we use MyVegas. Saved thousands now. We stay free, plus most of our meals are now free or heavily discounted. We have since most Cirque shows now for free!

I sometimes play My Vegas but not very often. How much do you need to play to get a free meal, nights stay etc? Does it matter which of the games or would they all count towards the same thing?

American Casino Guide Book. http://www.amazon.com/American-Casino-Guide-Steve-Bourie/dp/1883768241/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1415581267&sr=1-3&keywords=Casino

The link is for 2015, but you can navigate to 2014 if you are going before New Years. I always bought this book before going to Atlantic City and there are tons of BOGO buffet coupons in the rear.

It doesn't matter which of the games you play. You play for the gold coins and depending on what you want depends on how many gold coins you use. The bogo buffets are cheaper that the two free etc...

I can third (fourth?) MyVegas. We went in August. Both DH and I played and we were able to get:
BOGO Premium tickets to LOVE (Cirque)
2 Free buffets at Cravings at the Mirage
BOGO for The Buffet at the Bellagio
BOGO entrees at Nine Fine Irishmen (NYNY)
$25 credit at Nine Fine Irishmen (combined w/the BOGO)

We had two free RT air tickets and booked a condo (Wyndham Grand Desert) through SkyAuction for <$250/week. Since we're not gamblers it was a remarkably cheap trip

You don't have to watch it every second. I set mine on auto-spin and check on it every once and a while while I'm doing other stuff. We were planning on quitting after Vegas but are now trying for a free weekend in Biloxi in January. I love it!

Buy the American Casino Guide (you can check their site for coupon listings--some are downtown or off strip which could be an issue if you don't have a car); you can probably snag some super cheap on ebay right now since the coupons expire at the end of Dec.

MyVegas would require you to check in daily, preferably several times & play each day to rack up enough points before your trip but it can be done. If you play mobile too it can go faster. Checking in several times a day you can collect chips to play with on both devices (you can link the 2--the chips you play with are separate but the chips you spend on rewards) Also download their blackjack app--same deal. When I am on the computer I just run the game in the background while I do other things; you can set your phone there & do the same. You only have to deal with it when you have bonuses (blackjack requires you to focus & play) But you might be able to earn enough for BOGOs at some buffets. If your DH does it too you could get 2.

When you get to Vegas there are free magazines all over that might have some coupons. (tho I doubt buffets) They are usually near the checkin area at hotels.

You might check out www.vegasmessageboards.com & click on the "coupon swap" thread. I know there are a lot of people trying to get rid of their coupon books since the year is ending--you may be able to score a few coupons. They usually want 2015 coupons in trade BUT if you tell them your situation I bet they would--maybe send them a couple dollars for their generosity.

Groupon is an option, too. Paris is a good buffet; Planet Hollywood is OK. I don't recommend Harrahs or Flamingo (not sure any of them are on there right now)

Honestly, buffets are NOT a cheap way to eat in Vegas (as you found out!) especially on the strip--generally overprice mediocre food. You would spend less at a regular restaurant (chains or cafes or fast food)

We are planning a trip to Biloxi in January also and HOPING that MyVegas extends their hotel offerings for that area. I am beginning to wonder if they are going to participate after the end of the year which is when the hotel rewards state they are good until. I sure hope so!!

I Have this on my phone lol play ever so often. I do have a ton of gold coins, maybe its a perfect excuse to go to Vegas

Thank you all for the great tips. As I have found out many times before Disboards isn't just for Disney help.
My dad bought the whole family Beatles love tickets for Christmas and we were able to get rooms for 80.00 the first night and 40.00 the second night at Monte Carlo. Luckily a relative of a relative was able to get us discount rooms. Food will be our biggest expense and these tips will help. We are driving so we can always get away from the strip to eat but the kids will probably want to hit a buffet at least once.

You can go to any Caesars Casino buffets and use your free total rewards card to purchase the "buffet of buffets". It allows you to hit up all of the buffets(Ceasars, Rip, Harrahs, Paris Paris, Planet Hollywood, and 3 or 4 more) for a 24 hour period as many times as you would like for $49.99 a person. We purchased it at Planet Hollywood and ate there around 9 pm. The next morning we used it at Paris Paris for breakfast, then Harrahs for lunch and Rio for Dinner again before it expired. It's a great deal.

Even for 4 meals; and Caesars & Rio seafood buffets charge an extra surcharge.
(although cheaper than $140 for one buffet for 6!)

 

[Dork42775]

Not sure about Caesars but you dont have to pay the surcharge/upcharge as they are optional for an expanded buffet or maybe it was some time during dinner. Either way we did not have to pay a dime after the initial purchase other than maybe a tip here and there.

Have a surcharge (not surprisingly, they are the best). Last I knew Caesars charged $15 for breakfast, $20 for lunch and $25 or $30 for dinner (yes, this is ON TOP of the $50 24 hour buffet pass).

Rio seafood buffet is only open for dinner, I believe, and was $15 extra last I knew.

Rates change frequently so don't be surprised if it is more.

As far as the buffets that charge no surcharge, Paris is quite good, PH is OK, and frankly I wouldn't bother with Harrahs or Flamingo--very mediocre at best.

I have only done this when I got it free; 3 buffets in one day is A LOT--and I don't particularly eat a lot when at a buffet. For $50/day I can eat better elsewhere.

We usually do protein bars for breakfast, maybe Earl of Sandwich for lunch & PF Changs or other diner/chain for dinner. Figure $35/pp/day.

I don't care to have more than one buffet per day, tops. I'd much rather have a good sit down meal for the same price. Caesars is worth doing because it's one of the best but I don't bother with the 2nd tier buffets.

One "tricK" that sometimes works when visiting buffets is going towards the end of the earlier meal time so that by the time you are seated it's time for the next (higher priced) meal. This happened to us by accident at Caesars where we had planned to have breakfast. However, the line to get in was so dang long that we didn't get seated until nearly lunch time, so in effect got the lunch menu for the breakfast price.

If you find yourself out by Henderson try the Rainbow Casino cafe. It's kind of a locals joint but the cafe serves good food at great prices.

I am hooked on myvegas. I was worried I wouldn't be able to save very fast because I refuse to actually buy credits. It's been less then 48 hours and I have almost 4000 gold tokens!
