On my last visit, I stumbled upon The Village Buffet at the Paris hotel. Now, it has become a staple for my pilgrimage back to Vegas.
For $13, you can partake in one of the best breakfast buffets that Vegas has to offer. Don’t believe me? Ask Zagats – they also give it rave reviews. The buffet has everything: scrambled eggs, bacon, breakfast potatoes – the normal American buffet fare. But this being the Paris hotel, they’ve got to throw a little French in the mix. My advice, head straight to the back of the buffet, picking up a chocolate croissant on the way, and get in the line of people waiting for the freshly made crepes. You can mix and match fillings – my favorite is the raspberry filling – plus you get your choice of toppings. I prefer the powdered sugar, but to each his own.
The catch with this buffet is the line. Expect to wait at least an hour. However, it’s worth it. A group behind us in line was wondering if they should wait or go elsewhere. We encouraged them to hold out for the buffet. They saw us again once we were inside and loudly exclaimed, "You were right!" We also learned that around 11:30am, they switch from the breakfast buffet over to the lunch buffet. So if you want breakfast, get there before 11am – if you want to make more trips, get there before 10:30am. (Don’t forget to include the wait times.)
This buffet is, in my opinion, one of the best in Las Vegas. It’s certainly not the cheapest or the quickest by any means, but you’ll leave more full than you’ve probably ever been, and vowing to come back again.
