"The MGM Grand Buffet will serve its last omelets and carved meats on May 31, the resort announced. There are 'no immediate plans' for what will someday fill the space."
"Although buffets are a classic Vegas Strip experience, they became widely despised by casino operators for their high expenses and low profits."
"The Bacchanal ushered in the modern era of the buffet in Las Vegas. Although it initially opened with the hotel in the 1960s, it wasn't until 2012 that it was converted into an all-you-can-eat restaurant."
The MGM Grand Buffet will serve its last meals on May 31, marking a significant decline in all-you-can-eat buffets on the Las Vegas Strip. Once nearly 70 buffets existed, now fewer than a dozen remain. Buffets have become unpopular with casino operators due to high costs and low profits. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated closures, as many buffets did not reopen. Notable remaining options include Bacchanal at Caesars Palace and Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan, both offering premium dining experiences.
