Las Vegas buffets are just one of those things that practically everyone experiences at least once while visiting Sin City. Many of the major resorts have buffets that offer everything from weekday brunch to weekend dinner. One of the buffets recently reopened after a long hiatus, and the MGM Grand buffet is ready to welcome you back for breakfast and more.
MGM Resorts are known for excellence on just about every level, so it comes as no surprise that their MGM Grand buffet is a longtime favorite. Covid put a bit of a damper on a lot of things in Las Vegas, including the world-famous buffets. As things open up, you can trust that the MGM Grand is taking every precaution to protect the health and safety of their guests and employees.
So, with all that said, is the MGM Grand buffet the same as it used to be? Do they still offer unlimited draft beer and wine? What about the bloody marys and all the incredible food? Is it still a good deal where you can save money while enjoying your favorite dishes in Las Vegas? Here are the answers to all of these questions and more.
MGM Grand Buffet Menu

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and when you’re talking about all the deliciousness that can be found at the MGM Grand buffet for that first meal of the morning, we couldn’t agree more. Buffets are ideal because they offer something for everyone, but when the food is as good as the MGM Grand Buffet’s, breakfast just got raised to a whole new level.
The MGM Grand buffet opens at 7 am, so you can get an extra early start to your day of exploring Las Vegas, or maybe this is your final meal before bed after spending the entire night at the casino. The only requirement is that you come hungry.
After more than a year’s hiatus, Las Vegas is more than happy to welcome the MGM Grand buffet back, especially when they’re serving up everyone’s favorite morning dishes. There are both hot and cold stations at the buffet, with options like made-to-order omelets at the omelet station with all the good stuff you want packed into them.
Expect to find other morning meal favorites like light, fluffy buttermilk pancakes, eggs of all types, baked ham, and breakfast sides galore. There are also fresh pastries and fruit to satisfy that morning sweet tooth.
But let’s say that you’re just not that into typical breakfast fare. Your idea of starting the day right involves digging your fork into assorted fresh fish at the seafood station or the perfect smoked salmon on a freshly toasted bagel. The MGM Grand buffet has you covered. Here, breakfast isn’t limited to cereal and toast, especially once it’s time for brunch.Â
Weekday and Weekend Brunch at the MGM Grand’s Buffet
Brunch combines the best of both worlds. It’s all your favorite breakfast foods combined with more savory and hearty dishes. Ok, and a loaded dessert bar too. After all, what would an MGM Grand dining experience be without a grand finale, like Bailey’s cheesecake, to finish the meal?
When the MGM Grand buffet is open during the week, breakfast just sort of slides into lunch without much ado, but on the weekends, brunch is an occasion all on its own. There are all your traditional brunch buffet favorites, like fried chicken, soups, an assortment of salads from the salad bar, and yummy pasta.






But let’s talk about what makes this Vegas buffet worth your time. First, there are unlimited drinks. Bottomless bloody marys, unlimited beer, wine, and champagne brunch all sound like excellent ways to enjoy yourself on a weekend afternoon.Â
The seafood bar is nothing short of decadent with snow crab legs, smoked salmon, and shrimp cocktail. See our list of the best seafood buffets in Las Vegas.
You’ll find more favorite dishes at the carving station, like perfect prime rib, baked ham, roasted turkey, and more.Â
So, where are you going to be this week for weekend brunch? The MGM buffet should be on your list of destinations to sip some sparkling wine or other unlimited drinks, enjoy a champagne brunch and fill up your plate with your favorite dishes while sharing great food with your favorite people.
Buffet Hours at the MGM Grand

After being temporarily closed for much of the past year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the MGM Grand Buffet is now open for guests during limited hours of the day. The favorite Vegas buffet is open Thursdays thru Mondays from 7 am – 2 pm.
Obviously, this isn’t the spot for a weekday or weekend dinner, but if it’s a champagne brunch, eggs benedict, or the fresh, made-to-order omelet station that you’re after, then the MGM is an excellent buffet for an early bird breakfast or any of your favorite dishes for lunch.
The MGM Grand Buffet is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
MGM Grand Prices
