I'm not comparing this to any of the expensive Strip buffets like Caesars or Bellagio, but I have dined with MGM, Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay. The buffet at Monte Carlo is pretty decent. It is smaller than the others I think, although this could be a trick on the eyes because the room it's in is more enclosed than others. Anyways, the food is some of the best we've had on buffets in Vegas. Would definitely rank it top choice and will visit there again.
