| - I was planning on giving this buffet 4 stars because of location, but dammit I'm willing to make an exception. I consider Bellagio's buffet to be my favorite premium buffet, but this buffet makes every previous mentioning of 'my favorite buffet in Vegas' null and void, except for Bellagio's.
Some buffets in Vegas make a genuine effort for quality food, and studio B does a great job of doing so, and in return, provides very reasonable dishes. I've been here quite a few times already, and my go to favorites are at the carving station, which usually has tri tip, roasted chicken cut up right in front of you, mahi mahi served on half a bamboo pole, as well as roasted turkey. Their sushi isn't all that bad either for a buffet like this, especially when they bust out segments of rainbow rolls.
The variety is almost up there with Rio's, with your typical Asian (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, even Thai!), Italian, American, and Mexican food. Their desserts are in a separate section of the buffet, but they offer a good selection of gelato. Personal favorites are the banana and nougat.
Another reason why I'm giving this 5 stars? Alcohol comes with the buffet!!! Last I remember they served PBR, bud light, and their own custom brew. They also offer wine if beer isn't your thing.
Expect there to be a wait to get in, especially during lunch and dinner peak hours. I recall spending over an hour waiting for lunch, all while the prices have gradually gone up every time I've been in town. It's not necessarily a bad thing because their prices are still cheaper compared to a subpar buffet on the strip. Expect to drop around $15 for lunch and a little under $25 for dinner on the weekdays. Can't wait to come back here though!
