Firelight Buffet

My daughter loves crab leg night so we go. I think it’s too expensive for what the rest of the buffet is. I don’t mind paying the normal $ 10-​$ 12 for other nights but it’s not really very good. Station Casino have a definite leg up on Sam’s. But it’s nostalgic and the Mystic Falls is fun. I just think the price on crab leg night is a bit much considering that the other options are basically just fast food type stuff.

How we ended up in Sam’s Town… was far beyond me.
Never heard of the place, and wouldn’t you know, we’re eating inside! Our host (sister) didn’t have their player’s card and mentioned to the cashier at Firelight Buffet that they’re a member, but, misplaced the darn thing. *Everyone chuckles* Living by the rule book and never skipping a beat — the cashier informed us we’d need a card. We asked if we could just use card from the lady behind us because she graciously offered it during the little issue we faced. «No», was the response from Rule Book Rhonda. She was nice enough to mention we can get in the ‘Express’ line when we came back with a player’s card…
ANYWAYS, we came back with a player’s card and I swear to God, we watched a customer… front of the line dead center, ask the person behind them to use their player’s card to get inside the buffet cause’ they didn’t have theirs on them. Wouldn’t you know it, it didn’t phase Rule Book Brenda transformed into Bending The Rules Rhonda, accepted the card with open arms and let them in.
I have a glare. A glare that forgoes your ability to comprehend what’s currently happening with a direct line to your soul. It hits you firmly. You feel as though you have a concussion. My glare crossed paths w/​Rule Book Rhonda. Her skin tone altered from a milky white to an almost translucent fixture. I saw her leave her body, then come back. She immediately informed the ‘Express’ cashier we were approaching and accordingly let us in and sat us within a minute.
Oh. the food. Yeah, there was some food here. It’s a buffet.
Firelight Buffet has a decent selection for what it is. Considering we showed up during breakfast /​brunch, however, the layout made you feel like you were here for lunch /​early dinner. The breakfast area was minimal in both food quantity and size. Let’s put it like this; if I cloned and had both myself and I standing straight up with my arms out, as if I was in the shape of the letter T. that’s roughly the length the breakfast buffet area was.
Bacon, Breakfast Sausage & Ham. French Toast, Pancakes, Chicken Fried Steak w/​Country Gravy, Croissants, Scrambled Eggs and a thing or two that I probably didn’t see. I mean, I can’t fuss about this because this is what I want in breakfast. but I guess when you’re spoiled, chubby and cranky in the morning you want to see more food (breakfast).
And that’s where they kind of did the buffet deal well — they had a variety of tamales that were fresh and wrapped in that good ol’ corn husk — Reminiscent of those had back home. Taquitos were pretty decent, too. Typical buffet going on with under-​the-​lamp pizza, deep pan of fried chicken, egg rolls, hand-​cut turkey and so on. A good mixture for those that want a little of everything.
A decent experience aside from the intro, they filled my tummy and had a mediocre selection that I can’t complain about. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back, but if for some reason we do, I wouldn’t hesitate. especially ’cause I now have a players card

Experience: Brought the family here while they were in town. My Grandpa use to eat here every day before he moved across town, so he likes it. It was 12:30pm on a Sun.
Facility: This is a typical Vegas Buffet. It’s fairly clean and usually pretty busy. They have different stations of food and plenty of seating. There are half booths, but the majority of seats are tables and chairs.
Service: not impressed with the hostess. My Grandfather is 96, I get very upset when people talk down to him or are impatient with him. She was very short even with me. Besides her, everyone else has been awesome as usual. Some of the staff know my Grandpa well, so they are always nice to him. Love Carol the waitress and Melanie the cashier!
Food: The food is decent. I like the prime rib, fries, and taco bar with roasted jalapeños the most, but they have lots of other options. Not as big a fan of the. Asian food here, but for an American version of Asian food, I guess it’s ok.
The dessert bar is nice too.
Overall: We’ll be back. I like the staff, I like the atmosphere, and most importantly, my family likes it here. Just hope they teach the hostess to be a little kinder.

4 stars for the lady who makes eggs. It became one of favorite breakfast buffet to eat. She makes nice omelettes to order and this is a highlight of this buffet as there is not a lot of other items to choose from. Prices are below average,$ 6.99 per person. Workers are pleasant. Service is good and fast. I will definitely come here again:)

Went last night with a friend and the food was AMAZING! Grilled steak and potatoes were especially delish. The best buffet I’ve been to and definitely worth it for the $ 9.99 price.

We ate here three different times — the dinner buffet, the breakfast buffet, and the brunch buffet. The food is average, but good for a buffet. Ask for a table near Mystic Park and you can’t beat the ambiance, and the price is fantastic — only $ 9.99 for dinner, drink, and desserts, $ 9.99 for brunch, desserts, drink, and champagne, with breakfast only $ 5.99 including drink which beats even fast food places.
For dinner, there is a fair amount of variety and the food is average. The carved ham was really great. Figure in soup and salad, a variety of entrees, dessert and drinks for only $ 9.99, plus the waterfall ambiance, and you have a very nice dinner.
The Sunday brunch also has soup and salad, omelet station, carved meat station, a limited variety of lunch entrees, desserts, drinks, and champagne. As with dinner, get the carved ham and make sure to ask for a table by Mystic Park. This also costs $ 9.99 but we went for breakfast and weren’t interested in the lunch entrees, desserts, or champagne, so we wished Sunday just had a regular breakfast at $ 5.99.
The breakfast was amazing for the $ 5.99 price. Although the food was average (except for the carved ham which was great), they have everything you could want in a breakfast.
Overall, this is a great place that we will be frequenting in the future. I would definitely recommend going and remember to ask for a table by Mystic Park.

The breakfast buffet is bad really bad. The only fruit offered were prunes and some apple pie filling. No bowls for cereal, but they did go out their way to put mustard of all things mustard or for breakfast

The buffet has a nice atmosphere. The food is great. The service is excellent. I eat there every Friday night cuz of the seafood. A lot of food to choose from.

This buffet is decent. Champagne brunch is good, the only problem is it’s just a little breakfast food and then dinner food. Food was fresh and service was good. Just could have had a better selection of food.

I don’t know what coupons people are clipping. The only thing I clipped were a couple 20s from my wallet to pay for 2. The food is decent. It is what you expect in a local casino buffet. It’s not bad but nothing that makes me want to come back on a regular basis.

The first night we ate here it was really bad. First off we had no players card and we paid cash $ 28 and waited in this line that took forever on a Monday night?
Then it was kind of like lost in space. The ladies working didn’t speak very good English and when we asked where do we start we really couldn’t understand her and had to wander around looking for the place that had food since we were seated by the dessert bar. Grrrr.
When we finally found food everything was picked over and not really appealing. The meat station was crowded so there was no go there so we just grabbed what ever we could get our hands on. Then trying to find our table again! Holy hell!
I lucked out and found some amazing macaroni and cheese, made with rigatoni noodles and real cheese that was in a cheese sauce that reminded me of my moms Mac n cheese when I was a kid. Wow at a Vegas buffet. And I grabbed some enchiladas that were awful, ack! Couldn’t get that plate away fast enough.
So I was full enough on the Mac n cheese so I headed out to the dessert bar. Well that was maybe only our saving grace we had about 5 desserts each a cup of coffee and out we went.
Then we took a stab the next day for lunch and it was only $ 18 and the food was somewhat better and my husband found menudo and loved it. Who’d thought on a buffet in Vegas they’d have menudo? And good menudo? Oh well he got his $ 18 worth since I eat like a bird. So there are some good thing to eat on the buffet you just have to hunt around for it. My favorite is that Mac n cheese and their coconut cream pie.

So when I found out that my family and I were going to be eating at the Sam’s Town buffet… I curled my upper lip and went with ZERO expectations… other than to avoid food poisoning. But I was pleasantly surprised. They had players cards and the buffet came to be around $ 8.00 per person. SAY WHAT!!! That’s the deal of the century.
I headed out to the buffet and I was shocked at the selection. They had a little bit of everything. I made a huge delicious salad, had fried chicken and few other items that I don’t recall. I had an omelet made… and everything was good. I was certain that their desserts would have to be the worst ever, right? WRONG!!! Actually, they weren’t too bad. Especially this peanut butter chocolate cake.
This must be the best kept Las Vegas secret ever. I’m definitely coming back here again.

I’m a native to las vegas. This is by far the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. The food was tasteless, the staff did not upkeep the food and keep it presentable.
I didn’t want to eat anymore food so I went for some bread pudding only to see a half empty very dry dessert dish. I kindly asked the woman working the dessert station when there would be more. She went on to tell me there is no more because she’s the only one working and she would have to go to the back to get it and asked me why I didn’t want to eat that and suggested it was ok for me to eat. I would not tolerate that kind of service to a guest in my restaraunt. I will not return and I will continue to talk about how poor my experience was with this company. Horrible horrible horrible

This place has a great variety of food options of great quality. The price is so low for the great food they have. When you’re in Las Vegas you have to come to this place.

I ate here three years ago and it was real good. Now that I’m here again, it didn’t disappoint. It can be a bit pricey if you don’t have casino points but if you want to avoid the chaos of the strip or super expensive buffets, Firelight at Sam’s Town is the buffet to go. It’s pretty much a mini version of Barona’s buffet in San Diego. Sorry there are no crab legs here but the dessert bar is LEGIT!!!

I’ve paid a lot more for similar quality. $ 6 breakfast is damn hard to beat. Not the greatest selection, but more than enough with omelet station, etc. $ 10.99 dinner (I think) with crab legs; yeah, try an beat that!
If you want good buffet food at reasonable prices, this is the place. Otherwise, go to Rio.

Just arrived in town after a long drive, didn’t feel like cooking. Sam’s Town is close to the RV park we are staying at so decided to try their buffet. With a players card it is very reasonably priced.
Food was average at best, not a large selection. Prime rib and turkey were both moist and tender. Not very many vegetable options. Salad portion was okay. Lots of carb options.
Service was rather lackluster, had to flag our waitress down to get a refill on our drinks.
Next time in the area, we will try a different option. Even though this was affordable it still didn’t command the price.

I’m here on Mother’s Day and I expected this place to be packed with a looping line but it wasn’t. Maybe it’s because we got here at 9:40am so the rush hadn’t started yet. Anyways, the food was decent. Nothing super special but the usual breakfast items were flavorful (bacon, links, corned beef hash, processed eggs lol). I was pleased to find that they had steamed rice in their Asian section so that made my day.
Prime rib was served as well and it was tasty, albeit a bit rare. They also had a fondue table so I tried the cream puffs and strawberries. I thought they were pretty good but my mom said that the chocolate was sundae chocolate and not the usual fondue chocolate.
All in all I give this place 3 stars for their breakfast. For a comparison, Main Street Buffet is a 5 star IMO because they have Hawaiian food lol. But if you’re looking for some cheap, good breakfast food them this place is pretty good for the amount of money you’re going to pay.

Made to order omelette, ham carving station, hash browns, and breakfast meats was delicious… especially when it is free.. Omelette station person was friendly and efficient when making my delicious omelette, she even carved my ham.

Lunch buffet was excellent and I enjoyed everything. The Asian buffet was very tasty, the roast beef was done very well. My husband enjoyed the fried chicken. And the warm apple cobbler with soft serve ice cream was fantastic. Saundra (that’s how she spells it) was attentive and helpful. A top buffet in Vegas in my opinion and the low price for the lunch buffet was a big bonus. There was no waiting on Thursday.
