Luxor Buffet Las Vegas Review Hours Prices
Luxor Buffet in Las Vegas: full new review below; hours and prices are at the bottom of the page (UPDATED). This buffet has now improved somewhat and it’s better than Excalibur, which is just next door. Full details below.
I may at times compare this buffet to Excalibur because it’ll be your other choice if you buy an all-day buffet pass at either establishments (basically, you can luckily eat at either places). And I’ll also compare it to other South Strip buffets as you may need to know the differences. 
Atmosphere: generally quieter than Excalibur and all the other South Strip Vegas buffets, but also the most comfortable & relaxing (at least for now) under all aspects. The whole area follows the pyramid-theme; it is not modern but it’s spacious and offers comfortable seating with plenty of booths.
Luxor buffet Self-Serve Drinks section: it’s there and for that we’re happy. They offer alternatives to milk, which is great (almond on our last visit), and also a good selection of everything else. No green tea, nothing outstanding and you have to go God knows where to get a glass of sparking water. So, all in all, not the great self-serve drinks section like at Mirage or Bellagio but… Again, it’s there! At least you don’t have to wait for it to be served at your table for refills!
Food Selection at Luxor buffet: a decent buffet with a small selection of good and tasty healthy options (excellent quality Tuna salad, good hummus, great stuffed olives, extra virgin olive oil, cottage cheese, etc). The hot food section is simply average, good options for Mexican food lovers (nothing extraordinary, mind you), below average for Asian food lovers but with decent Sushi (well, the rice was good), the ubiquitous carving station, good rice dishes, addictive macaroni and cheese, fish and chips without the chips (but decent/good fried fish). For dinner you’ll have crab legs and 2 other seafood dishes, such as nice muscles (nicely cooked) and clams or other seafood choices (nicely cooked). No real cold meats station (only one choice) and below average cheese section. But, all in all, it’s still a buffet worth a visit if you have a myVegas reward (they are very generous with the dates in which you can redeem it, which is great, including Friday and Saturday dinner) or if you want to use your resort food credit. Unlike previous years, I can find something to eat here and be happy with that.
If you bear in mind that no South Strip buffet aims at making the top 5 Vegas buffets with the mild exception of MGM Grand, and if you are staying South Strip, your choice will be limited. So, all in all, besides Mandalay Bay for breakfast (if you are into delicious fresh berries) and MGM Grand in general (nothing extraordinary unless you go for expensive holiday dates), Luxor will be part of your buffet visits. Excalibur, which is lower in quality and variety this year, does have a better dessert section, but unless you have a sweet tooth only Luxor will be your other choice after MGM Grand and Mandalay Bay (nothing special if you don’t care about fresh berries!).
Among the dishes I found at the Luxor Buffet in Vegas during a special weekend (thus more choices of ‘expensive’ dishes):
Crab legs, chilled New Zealand mussels (dinner), Sushi rolls, cray fish, grill meat station, pepper roasted sausages, crayfish boil, several cooked mussel dishes, Cioppino (Italian-style fish & seafood soup in a red sauce), seared cat fish, seafood pasta, meatball pasta, meat loaf, fish & chips (at times breaded shrimps & chips), an English-inspired beef pie and plenty of American dishes such as corn on the cob. I also found find gourmet-inspired dishes such as squash & polenta cakes and a tasty vegan loaf.
Mexican food lovers would enjoy the ubiquitous Menudo but also beef & Ranchero chicken as well as a made-to-order fajita station.
The Asian station included fried rice, Bok Choi, Asian-style chicken, ginger chicken, stir-fry noodles and a made to order noodle soup station (dinner).
Among the soups I found chicken noodle & white bean soup (average). Their deli section, which is near their nice Middle Eastern & salad section, provided enough for a decent make-yourself deli sandwich, especially if one considers a good variety of condiments nearby.
Salad section: apart from a decent selection of make-yourself salads & condiments, you could enjoy nice extras such as a decent tuna salad, egg salad, cottage cheese, ambrosia & Caprese cheese salad, a flavorful seafood salad, chicken salad, crab (imitation) salad and, of course, borrow from the nearby Middle Eastern condiments like hummus.
The fruit section included real watermelons & Canteloupe, which was nice since some Vegas buffets had started offering only diced fruit mixed with other food (even the Wynn buffet!).
The dessert section at the Luxor buffet is small and boring; they have gluten-free and sugar free options (you will have to ask the attendant for the former) and 4 types of self serve ice-cream (so not only chocolate and vanilla). I did not like what tasted like too much glucose syrup in all the cakes I had. At best, it’s just the average, pre-made, pre-manufactured selection (the quality is the same as in what you could find at a basic supermarket). All the basic Vegas dessert options are here, including the ubiquitous soft-serve ice cream (chocolate and vanilla), with various ice-cream toppings.
