The Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace is one of the best buffets in Vegas. We always keep the most updated prices, photos, hours, and menus by calling the Bacchanal directly every month.
It has remained one of the best and largest buffets open in Las Vegas for the last several years since it opened on September 11, 2012. This 25,000 square foot, 3-room buffet seats 600 people and has the widest variety of foods in one restaurant.
Caesars Palace Buffet was renovated in April 2021 and focused on a 2,120 sq ft area, changing the food counters and service equipment to open the live kitchens up for all to see.

Menu
The Bacchanal Buffet has ten serving stations, including American, sushi, seafood, carving, Mediterranean, Latin, Middle Eastern, Charcuterie, Asian, and Desserts. It also has one of the largest selections of vegan and gluten-free options in a buffet.
Seafood Buffet Kitchen
The Bacchanal Seafood kitchen has both a cold seafood selection and a hot seafood section. Fresh seafood is flown in daily with food prepared by specialty chefs with more options than other buffets.
Besides all your classic seafood buffet staples like shrimp cocktail, shrimp and grits, sea scallops, mussels, and clams, they had chilled or steamed crab legs, Alaskan Dungeness cold crab legs, Jonah crab claws, Cajun poached prawns, and lobster claws, but no King crab legs anymore.
You’ll also find Bacchanal originals like Chipotle Bourbon BBQ Oysters, Harissa grilled octopus, and a spicy seafood boil.
Meat & Carving Station
You won’t be disappointed by the selection of carved meats at the Bacchanal Buffet’s carving station. You’ll find Prime Rib, Tri-tip, smoked brisket, Beef steamboat, slab bacon, and honey-glazed ham.
Then don’t forget to make your way over to the other side with roasted turkey, Porchetta, and truffle roasted chicken with Foie Gras Cognac sauce, Truffle Turkey gravy, chutney, and Chimichurri.
Already prepared and sliced on plates are wood-grilled lamb t-bones, chicken and waffles, and roasted bone marrow. They also have items like white bean cassoulet with lamb, and crispy chicken wings, along with several side dishes like truffle mashed potatoes, greens, butternut squash soup, Bacchanal sliders, and BBQ Trainwreck fries.
Asian Station
The Bacchanal Buffet exceeds expectations in their Asian cuisine to not only include all the American favorites like General Tso’s Chicken, fried rice, stir fry, smoked pork ribs, crab rangoon, and spring rolls, but they also have Hamachi Collar, roasted duck, Shiitake pot stickers in their Asian section, and a selection of Korean, Japanese, and Filipino options.
The Korean section includes Japchae, Kalbi short ribs, assorted Banchan, chicken with Gochujang sauce, and kimchi fried rice.
The Japanese section includes a selection of Poke bowls, sushi rolls, Nigiri sushi, and even a Vegan California roll.
The Filipino dishes include grilled pork skewers, pork Lumpia, Ensaladang Kamatis sa Patis, and pork belly.
And, they even have an Asian soup station with two kinds of ramen, Vietnamese Pho, Filipino Congee, Tom Kha, Egg Flower soup, and Dandan noodles.
They offer several specialty dishes you won’t find anywhere else, including Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs, Burrata & Sweet Potato Crostini, Thai Blue Crab Legs, frog legs, and Caviar Voulevaunt with smoked salmon mousse.
Vegan
Sandwiched between the two meat stations, vegans have several options like Broccolini and purple cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, roasted carrots, and Butternut squash and quinoa salad.
Mediterranean Station
The Middle Eastern section has premade plates of Mezze Trio of Baba Ghanoush, beet hummus, tabbouleh, and pita. There are a variety of olives, pickled turnips, and stuffed grape leaves.
Latin Station
The Latin Station had a selection of ceviche and a range of small plates like Mexican street food and churos.
Mediterranean and Italian
In the Mediterranean section there was pan-seared salmon, lamb, pasta, slices of pizza, and breakfast pizza.
They offer a nice selection of Italian dishes like Caprese salad, antipasto salad, and unique pizzas like Duck Confit & Hoisin pizza, Brie and Apple pizza, and smoked salmon pizza.
You can also custom-order pasta and risotto in full or half portions.
Bacchanal Brunch Buffet
In our four visits, we have gone for breakfast, brunch, and dinner. Both are fantastic, but there is no other buffet that comes close to the Bacchanal, putting it in the #1 spot on our list of Best Breakfast Buffets.
Their breakfast includes a juice bar, traditional waffles, french toast, and scrambled eggs, along with the 6 kinds of hashbrowns and potatoes, 3 kinds of eggs benedict, 3 kinds of scrambled eggs, Asian fare, a full array of sausage and meats, and a wide selection of breakfast pastries and sweets.
You really should try…
- Crab avocado toast
- Truffled deviled eggs
- Red velvet pancakes
- Custom-ordered dessert crepes
- Acai breakfast bowl
Dinner Buffet
The main dining room is visible from the Caesars Palace casino and central bar. It is surrounded by glass and stone textures, and glass chandeliers. It’s light and bright and perfect for breakfast.
For dinner, we prefer to sit in either of the two back rooms with rich wood tones, which is a little more private than the main dining room. The three separate rooms are uniquely their own and feel like three separate restaurants.
Speaking of which, on our first visit, we completely missed the back portion of the buffet, which wraps seemingly forever throughout the restaurant. The back portion of the buffet features the Italian, Asian, artisan cheese, and fine sliced sausages. The Asian selections are some of the best I’ve found in any buffet in Vegas.
A couple of the must-taste items for dinner include the applewood smoked wagyu beef and the seafood laksa, a curried noodle soup.
The seafood bar is the first section you’ll see with a full selection of shellfish and various fillets of fish prepared with rich sauces.
Dessert Station
The desserts are on an island unto themselves. And, they have earned their separate buffet section with gelato, cakes, pies, pastries, cookies, cupcakes, cake pops, chocolate-covered strawberries, and desserts you’ve never seen before, so make sure to save room for a few decadent treats.

Final Thoughts
The Bacchanal Buffet, rated at the top of everyone’s must-visit buffets, is also the largest buffet in Las Vegas. Better food quality, huge selection, and healthy options all in one location, and better service from some of the Strip’s best wait staff make the Bacchanal a favorite buffet in Vegas.
When are the frog legs served?(which buffet and cost for that buffet)
Frog legs are typically served during brunch and dinner, so the price will range from $64.99 – $79.99, depending on the time of day. The frog legs are located near the other Asian-inspired meats in the buffet, like General Tso’s Chicken.
Hi I Was Wondering Do You Guys Serve Crab Legs During Regular Dinner Buffet
Yes, the seafood station features 3 types of crab, two kinds of shrimp, and a Cajun seafood boil.
Hi, I see the mention of the smoked applewood wagyu and the seafood laksa. They sound so good, but do you know if they are serve during brunch hours (9am-1pm) or only at dinner time? Thanks so much!
Those items are typically only served during dinner.
May we, 4 member of family make reservation on 5 PM on September 12 ?
You can make a reservation online or by calling the buffet at 702-731-7928.
Is there any alcohol add on for dinner package? How much extra ?
There’s an unlimited drink package for $24.99 per person. The package includes draft beer, house wine, champagne, and mimosas.
Unlimited drinking package (Prices), How does this work for me in my hotel stay. Topless pool is this included in my room ? (Julius Deluxe Room.) Reservation for Buffet (Bacchanal Buffet) November 12,2023 Last Call for dinner. How much is USHER PERFORMANCES Nov 10-15 2023 ?
The unlimited drink package is only good at Bacchanal Buffet, not for the length of your hotel stay. All pools at Caesars are included with your room, but in 2023, they no longer have a topless pool. You can make a reservation online or by calling the buffet at 702-731-7928.
Ticket pricing for Usher depends on the seats you choose, but you can find more detailed info in this post.
We made a reservation. Do we still have to wait in a line? Thank you
No not usually. If you have a reservation you go in within minutes of checking in at the hostess.
Our next flight to Vegas is during April (arriving on a Tuesday flying home Friday). We do not care for Snow or Jonah Crab – although we crave & love the Dungeness Crab. Matter of fact, we just bought a dozen Dungeness fresh crab this past week here in Oregon. Is your Dungeness Crab available on the Wed & Thur dinners? We both read over the comments, but some folks believe the crab is always available while others state weekends only. Please advise!
Bacchanal does change its menu frequently, but last we knew Dungeness Crab is only served at the Crab Buffet on weekends and holidays.
I’m not a fan of dirty Dungeness crab. Prefer king any day!
How much is it for children 0-3? I’ll be there March 14, 2023.
Kids 3 and under are free
Hi! Thank you for posting this. Do they serve the whole normal brunch buffet menu during the snow crab brunch in addition to the crab station? It may sound silly, but I don’t want to pay $80 just for crab leg buffet only! Haha.
Oh yes, of course – you get access to the whole normal buffet plus the crab.
Do you know if I go in at 12:30pm and then 1:00pm is the start of the crab brunch, do I have to pay the crab brunch price or do I pay the regular brunch price?
I am not 100% sure, but I would assume they will charge you for the Crab brunch price. It is Vegas after all 😉
Can you use total rewards to pay for the buffet?+
Yes, of course. All restaurants at Caesars accept Rewards credits to pay for your meal:

Hi there! Two questions:
1) Any idea on what the food selection will look like for folks RSVP-ing at 9:30pm? Mine is Tuesday 12/20.
2) Are you allowed to walk up without a reservation, perhaps right at 4pm on a Tuesday?
Thanks!
1) They have their standard stations like Italian, carving station, seafood, Asian, but sometimes they have seasonal offerings, so we can’t be sure
2) Yes they take walk-ins but you may have to wait a while. Its always best to go to https://www.caesars.com/caesars-palace/restaurants/bacchanal-buffet and click on “Book a table” to use the Open Table reservations, even if you want to use it last minute. You can also get on the waitlist from Open Table.
For $80 USD I’d feel really guilty (and bad) not being able to eat EVERYTHING they have to serve, lol. So, I think I’ll stick with Ellis Island instead.
I have a reservation for 3:30pm January 26, 2023 (THU). Will there be crab served at this time? I keep getting mixed answers.
No, Bacchanal only serves snow crab during their Crab brunch held Friday – Sunday from 1pm – 3pm according to my last check in October.
We went 2 days ago (Friday). They had Crab at the Buffet (yum) but it wasn’t the large Snow Crab.
For dinner – when is it LESS busy? Prefer less people. Earlier? 4-6pm? Middle 6-8pm? or 8-10pm?
6pm is the busiest hour on every day of the week at Bacchanal buffet. 5pm and 7pm are both equally close second. To have less people and less wait times go at 4pm or 8pm.
cool thanks. going tonight at 8pm!
Can you prepay in advance?
No, they dont allow prepay at Bacchanal
Hi There, I want to go to this buffet but I am still a little paranoid about COVID-19 and eating out in the open with a lot of other people. I tried to get vaccinated but after I took the first vaccine dose I had a really bad reaction that landed me in the hospital for 2 weeks and even had to have surgery, so let’s just say I am not fully vaccinated after recouping and healing from surgery. I basically want to take food to go back to my hotel room with my family. Will they let us do that here?
No, there is no ‘take out’ from the buffet. You may get an understanding manager on duty at the time of your reservation that will seat you separately away from other tables, or off in a corner if you ask.
Can you confirm the “process.” I read somewhere with a reservation; 1) go to hostess line (approx 20 min wait), 2) go to cashier line (approx 20 min wait), 3) go to entrance line (approx 20 minute wait). So if my reservation is for 2:00 pm, do I start the process at 1:00 pm? Or do I go at 2:00 pm and looks like I will in at 3:00 pm?
I would arrive around 5 minutes early for your 2pm reservation. You typically won’t see long lines like that except during peak season in the summer. My experience is that you go into the hostess at your reservation time, pay at the same location, move forward to the entrance line and typically wait about 3-10 minutes to be seated.
Hello, is the price still as posted it? or has it gone up? I heard its gone up to $99 per person on a dinner buffet? Thanks
Yes, I just called today 9-22-22 to verify and the price is as posted in our chart. The only change is there is now a Crab Buffet Friday – Sunday from 1-3pm which follows the dinner prices. The Crab Buffet features Snow crab legs, no King crab.
Crab on Friday for lunch?
Crab is available only for the Snow Crab Brunch, which is more expensive
Does the Bacchanal Buffet have crab legs during their dinner buffet in 2023, or do they only offer crab legs during the Friday – Sunday from 1-3 PM on the “Crab Leg Brunch”? (Wondering when crab is offered on the buffet because in October 2022 we had it on the weekend dinner buffet & wanted to know if it’s still offered at dinner time?)
The last I knew they only serve crab legs at holiday dinners, or the Crab Brunch, but you may try to call them because they change this all the time.
It’s $79.99 per adult
Is there any seafood and meat at lunch time?? Or it’s only available at dinner time?? I wanna go there on January 1st to celebrate my dad’s birthday. Is there any price difference on that day?? Considering it’s New Years Day.
Yes, there is an entire carving station and an entire seafood station at Brunch with all sorts of options. We don’t yet have New Year’s Eve or Day pricing, but I will post it as soon as it’s available.
Hi! My husband and I are about to go to vegas as well and would love to go to Bacchanal, but we’re trying to decide between the brunch and dinner options. You say that there is an entire seafood station at Brunch, but does that seafood station include the same items that the Dinner seafood station would have? Or does it vary based on the brunch/dinner selection?
Thank you!
Hi! I made a reservation through OpenTable for a group of 9. I just want to make sure we are not being surprised with any extra fees, it is only the $79.99 per person (+ tax and tip) that we pay right? I read on another blog that reservations come at a higher price but maybe that is something else? Thanks so much!
Bacchanal Buffet changes their prices all the time. You may want to call them before you go to verify prices for your specific day and whether you’re going to the Crab Buffet or the regular.
I have a reservation at 9:30 PM and am wondering if they will make us leave when they close at 10 or are we able to stay the full 90 minutes.
You can stay the full 90 minutes
I have a soy and gluten allergy. I have called multiple times and attempted to contact them without any luck. I just want to k own that I can eat there as I’ve made reservations.
I know Bacchanal has several gluten free options. I’m sure if you ask the chefs behind the line they can advise you as to which items have soy in them, so you can steer clear.
How far ahead should you make reservations? What is the price Wednesday about 4 p.m?
You can make reservations as far ahead as 3 months in advance. But you can literally make reservations for 2 hours from now too, but you’ll have less options for time of day.
They open at 4 pm for dinner, so you would pay $79.99 for dinner on a Wednesday at Bacchanal.
I have a party of 12 to 14 people and want to make a reservation, do I have to provide a credit card number?
Since they do not take online reservations for parties over 10 people, you’ll need to call the buffet directly at 702-731-7928. I do not believe they will take a credit card over the phone.
Excited to see and taste Bacchanal Buffet! I HAVE RESERVATIONS AT 1:45 on a Thursday. Will there be regular lunch items? Will there be crab legs of any kind?
Just kind of confused.
Thank you!
Your reservation falls during their Crab Brunch, so there will be plenty of crab legs! The brunch menu also includes a good variety of breakfast and lunch items.
We are handicapped and there for it takes us longer to to most anything.
Will they be able to extend the 90 minutes by let’s say 20 mins?
Im sure they would make an exception if you ask
I have question i have resevations for sundqy nov 13 at 8pm. Is there a bottomless mimosas option at that time? And is crab served at dinner that day?
Hello, I am looking for Gluten free items on the buffets. Are there any breads or desserts that might be Gluten Free?
Mel, yes there are several gluten free options including desserts. I’m not sure about gluten free breads/rolls. Find me Gluten Free (https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/biz/bacchanal-buffet/4676936902115328) said that 70% of the Bacchanal buffet is gluten free.
I made a reservation for 3 at the buffet, my sister has now decided to join us. Do you think she would be able to join or do I need to change my reservation to 4? I can’t change it on open table & I’m having trouble getting a person on the phone.
Yes, you’ll need to change your reservation on opentable.
Is it possible to pay a kids price if I’ve had Bariatric surgery? I can’t eat much but would love to bring my family.
No, sorry, the prices are based on age and not how much you intend on eating.
Lol u wish. If ur an adult which obviously you are then you have to pay it at that price.
We have been there to the buffet since the pandemic. Are they offering hot crab legs? Will be going LV in December for 6 days & definitely want to go if they have options for steamed crab legs. Not a fan of cold crab.
I agree, steamed crab legs are the best. Right now, and of course this could change before December, but they only offer Snow Crab both hot and cold during their Snow Crab Brunch Fri – Sun: 1pm – 3pm. It costs $79.99/adult and $39.99/kids 3-11 yrs.
Most people don’t understand that an adult who has had bariatric surgery only eats as much as a child, we might eat 5 times a day but each meal is TINY.
Some of us eat that way without surgery so your question feels odd. I do understand how you might feel you are overpaying considering. I imagine it’s quite a social adjustment when you shift from overconsumption to healthier eating. You will not find discounts for that.
You are incorrect. Cosmo allows it. And no, an average adult does not consume the same amount as a bariatric patient. No need to feel odd about not truly knowing the information. We maybe can eat a 5-10 bites. Thats it. Do not assume we are going to a buffet for the sole reason to eat ourselves to death! When in Vegas I am usually with a large group, or my spouse and they all enjoy buffets. Last time I had checked, buffets offer an abundance of healthy options.
I’ve gotten discounts at all MGM buffets as well as Wynn and Cosmopolitan. Also other Caesar’s buffets in Reno. They should do here too if you show proof. But ask.
Hello,
are the food choices for brunch and dinner buffet different?
Do you know if the Brunch has all you can eat crab legs?
Yes, we believe so
Does the bacchanal buffet have all you can eat crab legs every night? Thank you!
We believe crab legs are served every night, but we can’t verify because they wont answer their phone 🙁
Besides having more breakfast items for the ‘brunch’, what else is different from the dinner? Obviously it’s cheaper but are there certain food items not available during brunch?
Was there last week and had the dinner, and will definitely return.
This will sound cheap but I don’t have a lot of money…
I’m thinking about making reservations at 3pm to pay the lunch price but be able to eat into the dinner menu. Is this possible?
Also, do you know when they will be serving king crab legs? Hopefully by May when I go. Do they have lobster in the dinner menu?
Thanks!
The only rules at the Bacchanal Buffet is the 90 minute time limit, so if you arrive at 3pm, you will have access to the dinner buffet at 4pm for another 30 minutes. I hope that helps!
Time limit?? You mean you must be done with your meal after 90 minutes?
Yes, Bacchanal is shorter time limit than most buffets in Vegas, where 2 hours is standard.
Does the Bacchanal Buffet serve king crab or will they at any point?
They do not currently serve King crab, although they serve both hot and cold Snow Crab legs and Jonah crab legs. Don’t forget the lobster claws!
WHEN DO u have fresh raw oysters ?
Sorry, we dont know about oysters at Bacchanal, mostly because they have stopped answering the phone so no one has been successful at getting through to the buffet.
Where can I find all you can eat buffet that serves Snow king crabs on the strip??
Most buffets have steamed snow crab legs. King crab legs are usually reserved for the higher-end dinner buffets like Bellagio and Bacchanal Buffet.
Will you be doing a Easter buffet if so how much, and how far in advance should I make reservations
The Bacchanal Buffet has not announced an Easter Brunch yet, and when we called to inquire they recommended we check back in March. If you are looking for a quality Vegas Easter brunch the Bellagio is hosting one for $60/person from 10am to 8pm and you can make reservations now here: https://bellagio.mgmresorts.com/en/restaurants/the-buffet.html and then click on the “VIP Entry” pass and book your April 17th reservation.
I’m trying to book thru OpenTable for any time within Dec 21-24 and cannot get anymore available times for any of these dates. Are there other options to book?
You can try calling them directly at (702) 731-7928
Hello, I have booked a reservation on OpenTable for 9:30pm and I see that the buffet closes at 10pm. Will we still have the full 90 minutes to eat or will we have to finish right at 10pm?
The Bacchanal Buffet starts clearing the food from the buffet 30 minutes after closing. You can continue to eat for the full 90 minutes, but you’ll need to get all your food from the buffet by 10:30pm.
Hi I have 3 kids, 4 yr old twins & a 10.montb old, what is the charge for them?
Thank you
Kids 4-10 years old are $32.50 for Brunch and $39.99 for Dinner. Your 10 mo old is free.
Hello is there a drinks menu are drinks included in Buffett price
All non-alcoholic drinks are included in the Bacchanal buffet price.
