One Buffet, One Brunch Open in Laughlin, NV

 Laughlin, NV

Post-Pandemic only one buffet is currently open in Laughlin.  This is at the Riverside Resort.  

Here is a recent video from Explore Vegas showing the Riverside Buffet and the selections offered.

There is also a weekend brunch open at Bumbleberry Flats in the Pioneer Casino.   

Below is a recent video of the brunch, by Explore Vegas. 

Another loss to the buffet scene is the all you can eat Crab Legs and Seafood Buffets.

There does not appear to be any movement toward any other buffets opening in Laughlin at this time. 

Harrah's Laughlin took all their buffet signage down and changed the space into part of the sportsbook and a sports viewing area.  Tropicana Laughlin closed their buffet long ago, even before the pandemic.  

Golden Nugget has not had a brunch in several years either.   Since the closure during the pandemic,  the Avi Casino has not opened their buffet. 

Aquarius changed their buffet area into Cafe Aquarius.  The Edgewater buffet is not in use. 

Keep in mind pricing and selections on the buffet/brunch are subject to change, as is the hours/days they might be open.   The pandemic still has a lingering effect on employee availability at the Casinos and restaurants. 

If you have visited the buffet or brunch in Laughlin, leave a comment or come to our Facebook group and share your experience.
