Treasure Island Buffet Review

Treasure Island Buffet Review which you can rely on.  With so many buffets declining in quality, Treasure Island are at least sticking to their pride and uniqueness.  (Hours & Price at the bottom).

This buffet is currently closed, like several other Las Vegas buffets. However, some are open and thriving, so check all other buffet pages.

N.1 in self-serve hot drinks.  They have the best, the widest and the highest quality self-serve hot drinks section:  here you can even find organic coffee and teas!  It even looks high end.  We sometimes go to this buffet only to have tons of cups of cappuccinos, coffees and teas (they have organic options here too!) with a plate of food!

The cold drinks section, still self-serve, is good but in my opinion that of Mirage (next door) is better, in that they have some more options, such as the fabulous (sugar free) carbonated water with lime or lemon.  Still, it’s good enough.

Ambiance, Atmosphere and Decor (Treasure Island Buffet Review). It’s a far cry from the usual huge dining rooms offering countless dishes and high traffic. This Vegas top buffet is very different. It’s ideal if you want to experience a peaceful buffet which will give you the impression that you are in an eye-pleasing contemporary, high-quality diner with much smaller (and very nice) rooms, decorated as if you were in a classy restaurant. Table and chairs are dark wood, plenty of wall pictures, beautiful mirrors and other décor which you would find in a true restaurant and practically never in a buffet. You will love the atmosphere if you are into ‘cosier’ atmospheres. We liked it. Moreover, each section is small so the service is excellent.

Having said this, on our last visit they had opened a section to the casino and changed the layout of the food stations to the point that the nice feeling of being in a beautiful restaurant was lost.  Also, the service was not consistently good.  But, the food was absolutely delicious, high-end, gourmet-prepared one day and average the next. 

The food is (on a good day) really delicious. Before continuing, the only downside here is, of course, that you will not find the huge number of dishes you find at other buffets such as the huge and delicious Studio B at the M Resort, the Rio or the super expensive Bacchanal.   However, the quality of the dishes at the Treasure Island buffet is (on a good day) so good that you will forget you are in a buffet.  On a ‘bad’ day, you will be disappointed.

Smoothies for brunch, excellent avocado pieces, good quality fresh fruit and good fish and rice dishes, such as salmon on black rice (mouth watering), or the absolutely outstanding lava cake.

If you like great pizzas and great made-to-order pastas this is the place for you. But, essentially, if you like to taste what you are eating, whatever it is, all set in a very nice environment, you will love this buffet.  On a bad day, it’s no different from any other. Let’s hope that they decide to be consistently excellent, given the relatively high price as well!

Health-conscious people will find a good array of options, from mouth-watering veggie wraps to gourmet-style mushroom soups, or Asian soups with a twist (on a ‘bad’ day it’s more run-of-the mill).

Their sushi station is uniquely fresh and delicious.  The other other decent Sushi you will find in a Vegas buffet is the expensive Bacchanal, but even Bacchanal cannot be consistently good with Sushi.

One of our favorite stations is the sandwiches and wraps station; the wraps are small but absolutely delicious, as good as you would expect from a dedicated restaurant; the combinations are also well crafted and of high-standard (such as brie and honey, roast beef with goat cheese, bacon and spinach with other, high-quality cheeses).

You will find good quality dishes for the gourmet-inclined but also for those who want ‘the usual’, such as the ubiquitous prime rib, boiled shrimp, fried seafood, and a reasonable range of cuisines (Italian, Sushi and other Japanese dishes, above-average quality Chinese dishes) as well as some very popular dessert options such as very good crème brûlée, caramelized flan, truly excellent freshly-made mini doughnuts, chocolate-covered strawberries and other childhood-reminiscing items such as cupcakes and fresh cotton candy (which seems to be very popular).  

Service (Treasure Island buffet review):  the service is excellent on most days but on some days it was horrific (plates piled up with nobody clearing them).  Some of you may not find the selection big enough (especially those who only want crab legs for lunch or breakfast), but at least what they serve is good! Unless you go to the M Buffet or to the expensive Bacchanal or to Aria, these days you may be disappointed if you want several gourmet dishes!  For those seeking a wide range (albeit less ‘luxury’, the Mirage buffet next door may be a great alternative, although they cannot be consistently good at all.

Final details on our Treasure Island Buffet Review.  On a good day you will eat delicious dishes which you would pay hundreds of dollars for at a speciality restaurant.  Remember the top-quality smoothies (breakfast) or yogurt drinks (lunch and dinner) and all-day long yogurt cereals with fruit (all high-end, good quality ingredients); also, the phenomenally delicious wraps and couscous.  

The make-yourself burger and hot dogs sections for those who still want some fast meat among gourmet choices, and the fantastic wood-fired-style pizza, with a mouth-watering, gourmet-prepared garlic bread (I could just eat that and be happy), set in a beautiful environment (despite the recent changes described above).
