Market Place Buffet

Market Place Buffet at Resort at Summerlin sits in one of the valley’s more upscale neighborhoods, drawing both locals and visitors looking for a solid casino buffet experience without the Strip crowds. This west side spot has built a reputation for themed nights and seasonal offerings, though consistency can be hit-or-miss depending on when you visit. The buffet gained attention for its special events and Hawaiian-themed nights, positioning itself as something beyond your typical neighborhood casino dining.

The food stations cover all the expected bases – American classics, Asian selections, Italian dishes, and a decent salad bar. Their oxtail stew during Hawaiian nights gets talked about, though execution varies from visit to visit. You’ll find standard buffet fare like prime rib, fried chicken, and pasta dishes, with quality that’s generally acceptable but not exceptional. The dessert station offers typical casino buffet sweets, and they do include fresh fruit options for lighter appetites.

The dining room feels more intimate than massive Strip buffets, with a local casino atmosphere that’s relaxed but not particularly memorable. You’ll see a mix of Summerlin residents, tourists staying at the resort, and folks from other parts of town willing to make the drive. The space doesn’t feel cramped, and service is straightforward – staff keeps things running but don’t expect much beyond the basics.

This buffet works best for locals who want a decent spread without dealing with tourist chaos, or visitors staying in the area who prefer convenience over culinary excitement. The value proposition is fair for the west side, especially during off-peak hours. It’s the kind of place that serves its purpose – filling, varied, and reliable enough for a casual meal, though it won’t be anyone’s most memorable Vegas dining experience.
