The Buffet at Monte Carlo

Yuck. Serving utensils thrown in food, food quality was poor and cold! Self serve drinks which is always irritating. I expected more for my money. Disappointed.

I strongly recommend not to come to this buffet, everything was completely mediocre, service is good the food was just bad. And when I’m paying 34.00 for a Buffett i hope I’m getting food that’s gonna want to make me come back and get another plate, not this joint. DONT COME HERE very expensive for what you are getting

We enjoyed this buffet. Really enjoyed the make-​your-​own nachos section. Veggie Alfredo pasta was melt in my mouth! Hot dogs and chicken strips for the picky kid eaters. I would return. Giving it a 4 star because I’ve had better, but this buffet is on my too 5 faves for sure.

Good quality for the smaller size buffet. Good options including pasta bar and deserts.

Whenever I visit Las Vegas, I generally will eat at The Buffet at Monte Carlo. During my April 2016 vacation in Las Vegas, this was also the case.
I generally get comped here so I don’t have to pay anything except for the tip but during my April 2016 I didn’t get comped and I still continued my tradition of eating here since for the Strip (unless you want to go to the North-​side of the Strip near Stratosphere), it is one of the lower priced buffets. You can also get a discount by purchasing a voucher at Tix4Tonight. I always eat at the Buffet at Monte Carlo on a weekday for a late lunch so I can’t really comment on what additional options are available on the weekend.
As others have mentioned, you refill your own drinks here. Based on the other reviews, a lot of people seem to not like this but personally I don’t have an issue with it since I enjoying mixing cranberry with orange juice and even sometimes enjoy mixing some of the soft drinks for variety.
I found the food to be okay. It is not bad but nothing really stood out for me. I know that this is weird but I did enjoy the corn on the cob, The shrimps were the smaller peel shrimps variety so was a bit messy. From the meat section, I found the beef to be a little bit on the tough side. I did enjoy the turkey. In buffets, I will generally have a few pieces of cantaloupe and the cantaloupe at The Buffet at Monte Carlo was hard. I’ve rarely had ripe/​soft cantaloupe pieces in a buffet and since I’ve been here a lot, I knew it would be hard and somewhat tasteless but would give me the excuse of having some fruit in my meal.
The waiter did a good job at removing my finished plates and also giving me extra napkins when he saw me using my hands with the corn on the cob and shrimps.
I don’t have an issue returning here during my next trip to Las Vegas when I’m in the South/​Central part of the Strip and feel like having a buffet at a lower price.

I came here thinking it is bad food do to reviews. The people reviewing must go weekday or something else. I thought for breakfast it was pretty good. Carlos the person who kept cleaning my table was very helpful. Provides excellent service and was great to my family. I will return here due to Carlos great service.

Price is much too high for the average to below average quality. Went to breakfast today and the omelets were decent, as was the ham. The rest was lukewarm, tough and/​or didn’t taste good. Could have played hockey with the smores waffle.

A little dissappointed! Maybe my hopes we’re too high.
This buffet did not have a good selection of food. In my opinion, the food did not look good or taste good either.

I went here for Sunday brunch in the late afternoon since I got 2 buffets included with my room. This is the worst buffet I’ve had in Vegas (and I’ve been to a lot!) and I regret wasting one of my meals here during my vacation. Most of the food looked unappetizing, so it was difficult to fill even one plate of food. Food was lukewarm at best. The mashed potatoes and gravy and rotisserie chicken were decent. Mini sandwiches with rock hard bread, fried chicken with soggy breading, burnt pancakes… just bad all around.
Sad, limited dessert selection. Service was good with clearing plates and getting condiments and napkins for us. Get your own drinks.

Made to order omelets, different ethnic food stations, lots of variety! We got there towards the end of breakfast beginning of lunch so we got best of both! Food was fresh and tasty!

My wife and I had tickets to Blue Man Group so we decided to eat here for dinner before the show. It was around $ 15 per person with the Tix for Tonight voucher. The food was ok. I don’t remember much of the food I ate besides the tough prime rib and typical sushi. My wife told me this was probably the quietest dinner buffet experience we ever had as they were not that many customers. There are way better options on the strip and even the buffet at green valley ranch is better.
FYI: The drinks are self service so I don’t see a reason to give a tip.

I went here for lunch and weekend brunch mostly because I was staying at the hotel. Food was average normally buffet quality. There was some variety and carving station. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here strictly out of convenience and too lazy to walk to another hotel. Next time I will walk to Aria or cosmo.

Disappointing buffet. From the greasy food smell once we entered to the food aspect, optionality and food appearance, all gave a poor impression on quality.
Waiters are attentive, but the food options were mostly breaded and or fried. We ended up leaving after trying some of the non fried dishes.
We came here while walking towards a show, but would not recommend considering so many other options at the strip.

Buena variedad y precio adecuado por $ 30.00, sin tener la calidad 5 estrellas.
Desde alimentos orientales, italianos… hasta pozole. De plano este platillo no se me antojó por que me espanto de la cocina «Mexicana» en USA.
Excelente la barra de ensaladas, de locura.
Sabores planos en todos los platillos, desde sopas hasta postres, pero es una buena opción cuando andas caminando como loco todo el día y buscas un lugar sin tanta gente.
Sigo mi credo cuando voy a restaurantes… llego temprano.
Aquí también hay descuento para tempraneros (o sea, antes de las 400 pm)

I haven’t been back to this buffet for the last 5+ yrs. For $ 30 on a weekday, the selection was not quite content.
Quality and taste of food is a 3. The only fair item is the prim rib, good amount of seasoning.
Desert is just too sweet. I tasted more of the sugar rather than the flavor itself.
Would I come back? Only if it was half the price.

I had the breakfast which was actually much better than I expected. Paid around $ 16 since I have an MLife card.
It had everything your would expect in a good breakfast. I liked the red velvet pancakes, country fried steak, corn beef hash, and the omelette station was alright.
I was seriously expecting bland food since this buffet never scores in the top 10, but I was definitely surprised. In fact, I would say a lot of the eateries at the Monte Carlo were impressive.

This buffet serves your buffet-​craving needs. It’s not amazing and it’s definitely not one I’d search out for again, but it served it’s purpose and pleased me.
My group of gals got 2 free buffet passes to this one, so we all split the difference for the other two and considered it a cheap way to eat as much food as we possibly could.
The selection is mediocre. There was standard pizza, spaghetti for italian, tacos/​fajitas for mexican, chow mein and dumplings, so on and so forth. Nothing was particularly impressive, nor were they super disappointing. EXCEPT the dumplings. I expected them to be delicious, however with one bite I was gagging and praying to God to release me from this Hell on Earth.
But, despite that, everything else was fine. They had an array of fresh fruits, bagels and toast, and even a make your own omelette thing, which I didn’t try because I’m weak and sometimes intimidated of the buffet chefs who prepare it for you.
Go, if its close to you. It’s fairly priced and will fill you up, and not super busy. But like… don’t expect it to kill you with amazing flavor and taste.

The Buffet is okay in both price, selection, and quality when it comes to Las Vegas buffets. You’re not getting the 5-​star quality so don’t get discouraged, but you will save money here compared to others.
The selections are the basics. Beef, chicken, shrimp, salads, sides, and desserts. It’s not that big, but the service was good and it wasn’t busy when we visited. The tables are promptly bussed and you won’t accumulate plates in between trips.
We ate here for breakfast and dinner and both times it was good. Like most Vegas buffets, they kept the fresh trays of food coming and nothing was too old or bad quality.

You can’t beat it with a stick very nice selection. All kinds of hash browns, scrambled egg, sausages, ham, bacon, french toast, cereal, granola, waffles, pancakes and MADE TO ORDER omelettes… Get there around 10:20 AM before the Lunch rush. I had a myVEGAS 2 for 1 for Breakfast you can use it for Breakfast or lunch. I’m giving this five stars for the variety in food and the fresh vegetables and fruits provided which I prefer to fill up my plate with.

Not as bad as I thought.
I had low expectations due to the negative reviews from Unilocalers, but my experience wasn’t too bad. We came for Brunch on a Saturday morning and used our complimentary coupon for staying at the Monte Carlo. Staff was very nice and friendly.
As for the food, they have a decent variety of food for Brunch. It’s basic and not the most creative, but it’s pretty good. They have your basic breakfast fares like 3 kind of scrambled eggs, eggs Benedict, 3 kinds of hash browns, pancakes, waffles, a few kinds of breakfast sausages, bone in ham, gourmet sausages and Roast Beef. They also have a cereal and granola station and an omelette station where they make fresh customized omelettes in front of you, some cold seafood and Mexican food.
Avoid the fried fish and popcorn shrimp. They are very, very dry.
I wouldn’t mind dining here again.

I came here with a friend on one of the mornings during our stay. For $ 14.99 we were surprised at all it offered. Literally it wsa EVERYTHING you could ever imagine. there was breakfast food, there were lunch items and even carved meat.
Pastries and pancakes, fresh fruit options. I would say that brunch was the best option for the Buffet.
