If you’ve been pining for the return of the buffet at M Resort, let us put your mind at ease: It’s not coming back. There, we ripped off the Band-Aid, now the healing can begin.<\/p>\n

We, too, have been reluctant to let hope die, but in conversations with leadership at M Resort, it’s clear the Studio B buffet won’t reopen.<\/p>\n

While “Never say never” is the official position about M Resort’s buffet, that’s a diplomatic way of saying, “Don’t hold your breath.”<\/p>\n

This is the point where we can move into the “acceptance” phase of the grieving process.<\/p>\n

A good number of Las Vegas buffets went away forever during the pandemic. Casinos originally shut down these dining options (along with their casinos) due to safety concerns.<\/p>\n

From the earliest days of Las Vegas, buffets were loss leaders. Today’s casinos, however, aren’t giant fans of things that lose money. Go figure.<\/p>\n

For the most part, the only buffets to reopen in Las Vegas are ones that make money for their operators.<\/p>\n

Here’s a list of all the open buffets in Las Vegas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the most part, Las Vegas buffets are being replaced with food courts (food halls). They’ll do in a pinch, and the economics make more sense for casino owners.<\/p>\n

You’ll survive.<\/p>\n

In better news, we’re told M Resort, which already has a strong collection of restaurants, will be opening a Mexican restaurant in 2023.<\/p>\n

It’s believed the Mexican concept will move into the Vue Bar space, but the decision hasn’t been finalized yet.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot going on at M Resort, including the rebranding of its live entertainment venue. The former Ravello Entertainment Lounge is now Amp’d. Here’s a look inside.<\/p>\n
