I think the title says it all. Neither the food nor the decor was inspiring but rather tired and old. I was confused by the many stations full of condiments rather than actual food choices and the fruit portion of the buffet came right of a can.

We've been eating breakfast here for years. They have been cost cutting a few corners, but holding the price, which is commendable. Eggs cooked to order, several breakfast meats, bagels and lox, fresh fruits, pastries, etc. What else do you want for eleven bucks?

We went as part of a buffet/Gordie Brown show package and had low expectations after reading what a "terrible" buffet this is. What are these people talking about? Everything we tasted was flavorful!

Food was sub par. Service was great. Would return for a quick breakfast as it was inexpensive and quick and easy.

Food was merely ok, and much better is available within walking distance. We have tried the buffet 3 times, and won't be back.

Ate here twice during our vacation, both times for breakfast. great food for the price. Loved the waffles and breakfast pizza the best. Bacon a little crisp but was very good.

So I wanted to wait a few weeks to calm down before I wrote this. I took my wife and daughter to the Golden Nugget, being a new resident to Las Vegas we had heard a lot of good things about the Gold Nugget and wanted to experience it for ourselves. I am a food and beverage manager by trade... More

We had a book of buy one get one free tokens and used them for both breakfast and lunch on different days.. There was plenty of choice, service was good and there were no queues. I would have been more than happy to pay full price for both meals. Lovely bread pudding just like my mother used to make.

The breakfast buffet is comparable to ones on the strip. They have a huge selection with lots of choices of meat, eggs, fruit, and pastries. The service is great. I would definitely choose to eat here over the cafe.

I am a very plain and picky eater. I found plenty to eat on this buffet. My more adventuresome friends were dissappointed in the selection. We have always gone for lunch using a bogo coupon, so for the price we paid it was great.
