Las Vegas buffets are no longer an automatic way to eat cheaply: the price depends on the day, time and menu. To compare two current formats, Chin Chin serves an American-style brunch buffet inside New York-New York, while A.Y.C.E. at the Palms runs self-service stations for brunch and themed dinners. The first costs less and works well for breakfast near the hotels; the second requires a trip outside the central corridor and costs more in return for a 90-minute meal centred on stations and special dishes.
Chin Chin lists US$28 per adult and US$10 for children aged 12 or under. The buffet includes hot and cold selections and made-to-order items such as omelettes and eggs Benedict. It is served from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. to noon Friday through Sunday; after that, the restaurant switches to its Chinese and sushi menu. Visitors value the convenience and portions, although some find particular breakfast items inconsistent. For a family, the children’s rate makes this the easier option to budget for, provided the morning hours work for your plans.
A.Y.C.E. lists brunch for US$44.99 and a regular dinner for US$46.99 on the advertised days; Friday and themed nights cost US$52.99, while the Wednesday–Thursday lobster dinner is US$79.99. Weekend brunch continues until 4 p.m., and each seating lasts 90 minutes. Stations, seafood, meat and desserts receive praise, but some comments question the temperature or seasoning of certain dishes. It is not the cheapest choice: it makes sense if you want to try several stations or a particular themed night; if all you want is a filling breakfast, Chin Chin leaves more room in the budget for other visits.
Chin Chin is at 3790 S Las Vegas Boulevard inside New York-New York; A.Y.C.E. is at the Palms, 4321 W Flamingo Road, beyond the Strip’s most walkable stretch. To choose, add transport, tip and drinks, and confirm that the service is running on your chosen day: Palms alternates regular service with themed dinners, while Chin Chin limits its buffet to the morning. The first prioritises location and family pricing; the second offers more stations and a longer meal. They are not the same as a Chinese lunch buffet or table-served unlimited sushi, so choose according to your actual appetite and budget.
