There is a great, reasonably priced choice in the middle of the Las Vegas buffet extremes: the Craving Buffet at the Mirage sits between the cheap Circus Circus Buffet and the pricey Caesars Palace buffet.
Cravings offer a great environment and are located directly next to the casino floor, making it easy to get in and out.
Also, considering the eye-popping costs of Caesars Palace’s Bacchanal Buffet, I think it’s a fair deal.
There are “11” distinct food stations advertised. However, I don’t think it includes the beverage station.
Chicken fried steak, hash browns with gravy, and bacon and sausage are among the items on the breakfast menu, including a variety of pastries and a tiny chicken & waffle dish.
Some breakfast and supper stations have sample menus, although the selection is always subject to change.
Salad bar: In addition to a decent salad bar with lots of add-ons, toppings, fruits, soups, etc., there is a selection of deli meats and cheeses (shaved grana Parmesan, Havarti cheese with caraway, smoked gouda, etc.), along with premade salads, like a 3-bean quinoa salad.
Ccarving station: Prime rib, honey-glazed ham, turkey, and roasted beef ribeye are all displayed at the carving station. Aside from au jus and two types of horseradish, there are also turkey gravy and a cranberry sauce to go with the meat.
American station: Hot dogs, chicken wings, baked beans, spicy okra in a tomato sauce, fries, onion rings, St. Louis style barbecue ribs, flank steak, and coleslaw are on the menu at the American station.
Italian Station: There is a chef station where you may request a custom-made pasta meal, such as cheese tortellini stuffed with cherry tomatoes, chicken piccata, ravioli, and premade pasta dishes.
Pizzas with pepperoni, cheese, and grilled vegetables are all options, as are chicken pizzas.
Seafood station: Snow crab legs, shrimp cocktail, seafood bouillabaisse, salmon, cioppino (an Italian fish stew), and even seaweed are on the seafood station’s menu.
Please note that the crab legs are served beginning at 3 PM on weekdays and during the Saturday and Sunday brunch buffets; they are also available for purchase.
Latin America station: you may get the standard nachos, chicken fajitas, chilaquiles, and taquitos. There is a Cajun-roast chicken in the Mexican cuisine department, although I’m unsure why.
Asia Station: Five sushi varieties are available, including Tropical Roll, hot Hamachi roll, Octopus Nigiri, and Shrimp tempura & jalapeno roll. There is also steaming rice, vegetable and egg fried rice, Szechuan eggplant, gyoza (dumplings), chow mein, beef broccoli, and an Asian chicken pasta salad. The wonton soup at the Mirage buffet is well regarded.
You’ll find a variety of desserts, including a German chocolate brownie, an apple streusel bar, and a basic gelato dispenser machine.
Desserts: Like many other Las Vegas buffets, the Mirage buffet identifies and serves a variety of gluten-free alternatives, from gluten-free toast to a modest selection of gluten-free sweets. Desserts without added sugar are also available.
Drinks
The Cravings Buffet now allows guests to bring their drinks, a change from past years. A beverage station offers milk, tea, coffee, and juice in addition to 150 varieties of Coke.
