Buffet 5 out of 10
One good thing the M has going for it is if you sign up for a player’s card, they give you a free buffet coupon or $10 in slot play.
Leaving the bar with no appetizers, we decided we were hungry and went and signed up for the card and got our coupons. The buffet line didn’t look very long but we ended up waiting 45 minutes to get in.
First off, let me say I’ve been to a few buffets around Las Vegas and am not a huge buffet fan, other than the Rio buffet. I am usually disappointed with the mediocre food and high price tag to get in.
But back to the M Casino Buffet, once we got inside I didn’t really like the setup of the place. It’s basically one big room with all the tables scattered about with the food in the middle of the room – making 1 big line. I felt like I was eating inside a cafeteria.
It was a smaller buffet but the food selection was good; they offered a lot of variety and most the things I ate were pretty good. Most important, the food was fairly fresh. I hate when I go to buffets and the food’s been sitting out for an hour and is slimy and gross.
They offered a little bit of everything from American BBQ to Thai and sushi. There is complementary beer and wine, which is a big plus for all the drinkers out there. They even have their own M lager, which I personally thought was terrible. The wine was only white zinfandel and cabernet, but both were actually decent tasting wines and didn’t taste cheap.
Overall this was one of the better buffets I’ve been to out here in Vegas. The free beer and wine defiantly helped but I probably wouldn’t go back unless it was free again. Maybe for lunch since its only $15. But if you’re a buffet person, it’s no Rio – but way better than a Station Casino or the Hilton and I would recommend the M Casino Buffet with the qualifications I just mentioned.

When was the last time you ate at the RIO buffet? Years ago it was good, but the lat two times I went there, the food was awful and they were out of many seafood items. The M buffet is way better, it is more like what the Rio buffet used to be.
The Rio is horrible!
First, I agree with the comments about the Rio. It used to be good, but the last 5 years has gone downhill. That is one of many reasons I wanted to comment on the M Buffet. We were there for Christmas Day when they served a lot of holiday fare in addition to their regular items. I was absolutely impressed with the quality of the food from the freshness to the preparation and the service. There was not a single item I tried that I was not pleased with. It is far above the Stations which have also gone down hill perhaps due to their money problems. I would rank it as a far better value for quality and options than all but perhaps the Bellagio’s Friday and Saturday ‘Gourmet’ Buffet. But you can go to the M nearly three times for the same $. I also disagree with Rex as to the layout. I thought it was far more classy than the Bellagio. I give it an A and will return whenever the Buffet bug hits me.

Rio???? it is your duty to revisit the Rio buffet if you are going to use it in any way as a comparrison to any of the other buffets in town…we would not eat at there buffet for free, yes it used to be the best but has been terrable for some time now.
