Have It All at These Buffets
Buffets are a fun go-to option when you can’t decide exactly what you want – you really can have everything. They’re also nice for larger groups because there’s always something that’ll please everyone, from the hungriest carnivore to the strictest vegetarian.
Sierra's Buffet at the Virgin River Hotel/Casino/Bingo features homestyle cooking and a different theme every night. For example, Tuesday is steak night, and on Fridays there’s seafood. While the central theme changes, you can count on a carving station, pizza, pasta and a gourmet salad bar every night of the week. Breakfast is served every morning, and there’s a more festive brunch with mimosas on Sundays.
Town Square Buffet at Eureka Casino Resort serves Sunday brunch favorites with champagne but save room for dessert because there’s pastry and cake too. Additionally, Town Square rolls out seasonal specialties for holidays.
Weekends mean the buffet is open at CasaBlanca Hotel-Casino-Golf-Spa’s Mesa Buffet. Friday nights bring its Seafood Extravaganza while Saturday nights are for New York steak and crab legs. Saturday and Sunday breakfasts showcase a glazed bone-in ham carving station, omelets made to your specifications and sparkling mimosas.
