I really think I'm spoiled when it comes to buffet's. The Bellagio knocks my socks off, so the Golden Nugget just makes them slouch. Honestly, if you go to the Bellagio on the weekend for brunch and get the bottomless mimosas...the Golden Nugget is just the same price. I can say though that they have a made to order sauteed shrimp bar that we just couldn't get enough of. We kept going back to try the different combinations of flavors (garlic, spicy, etc). It's a push for me....I think if I stayed in old Las Vegas I would hit up the Golden Nugget Buffet but if we stayed at the HR as we always do, I probably won't make the trek.
