When it opened in 1946, dinner cost a dollar. The Strip’s first buffet was the El Rancho Vegas hotel’s Chuck Wagon. The father of the Vegas “all you can eat” affair was Herb McDonald, a casino publicist who reasoned that if you felt like you got a bargain meal, the more willing you’d be to part with money in the casino. Just one meal at a Vegas buffet has the potential to put new stretch marks on your stomach, the ultimate souvenir for your upcoming vacation.
They’re a Vegas tradition, the gustatory pillars of a “City That Never Sleeps” and apparently can never get enough to eat.
But for those with hearty appetites there is no bigger attraction than the buffets. Las Vegas BuffetsGambling, big-name entertainers, superior restaurants and over-the-top casinos have always lured visitors to Las Vegas.
