    Will buffets re-open?

    What about salsa bars like that have at Mexican restaurants?

    Or salad bars?

    Or Condiment bars (think Fuddruckers)?

    Imagine Vegas with no buffets.

    Last buffet I went to was in college.

    The buffet concept is gross. Once I could afford whatever the hell I wanted on the menu I stopped going.

    Never been to one during many Vegas trips and definitely wouldn’t go to one anywhere now.

    Buffets are depressing, just looking around at the patrons dining there would make anyone want to leave and not go back

    The only value in a buffet is the undertaker

    Big fan of Sunday brunch buffets and vegas casino buffets. I'll definitely be going back when they reopen. Little taco shops are totally going to have their salsa bar still. You think they give a rats ace about .03% of people dieing from covid19? i'm Not a golden coral or Hometown buffet fan because the quality sucks.

    more employees so prices will go way up

    The buffets closed before the casinos did. So the buffets will not be open when the casinos open their door. Maybe next year.

    Don’t eat at buffets, but there is a BBQ joint the south end of the beach where they serve you. I can’t get my money’s worth eating there. Get it to go and you tell them what to put in the box. I get two meals out of it.

    The last buffet I went to in the last 20 years was at Stella in New Hope, PA. Sunday brunch, unlimited Champaign, shellfish, great bacon. Immediately upon arriving, I slipped the dude walking around with the Champaign a quick 20 spot so that he didn't wander off too far. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend a buffet unless you like sickness.

    Last time I went to a buffet. I ate too much and I threw up when I got home, so I’ve never gone back.
