Sterling Brunch

100% totally worth the $$$. First of all – French Champagne. All you can drink and your glass is never empty. They start you off with delicious Gruyère cheese popovers. Next, an amazing sampling of high end premium offerings – oysters, shrimp, caviar, sushi & sake, Filet Mignon, Prime Rib, Lamb Chops, King Crab legs, Lobster Tails. They have Eggs Benedict made to order. They also have standard stuff like eggs to order, salads, cheese and charcuterie, olives, etc. Not to be missed is the French Toast Bread Pudding with Caramelized Bananas – OMG. Then, a beautiful array of desserts if you have any room left. This buffet is a must do at least once. And a shout out to Tony and Lupita – amazing service!

We’ve been going to sterling Sunday brunch either the Sunday before or the Sunday after Christmas for the last 15 years but after this last visit I told my wife no more and she agreed with me. To start off with they changed the interior. A onetime elegant looking restaurant now looks like a glorified Denny’s.
The food selection is smaller and the serving station resembles a hospital cafeteria serving line.
The champagne and crab legs are still good but everything else was mediocre at best. They had just brought out a fresh tray of lobster tails while I was standing their yet when I tried eating one it was way overcooked which was how just about everything else I tried was. If you are going to spend this kind of money on a meal go someplace decent don’t waste your money here.

This place is way overprice $ 100 per person ($ 95 with TR card). The selections was very limited. The lobster tails was bland and little tough to chew. Sushi looks and tasted like prepacked supermarkets. I used my comps and I felt I got rip off.

Our visit was 5 full stars today. We always sit with Javier, who is the best! Personable, attentive, and 5 star service every time!
Warren, the manager is also attentive, available, and hands-​on. Makes every visit memorable.
The food? Well, what can I say? Unlimited french champagne, caviar, filet, prime rib, lamb, Nueske slab bacon, popovers to die for, shrimp, oysters, crab legs, the list goes on and on.
So glad we moved to Las Vegas recently, if only for Sterling Brunch!

Overall, the food and service is very enjoyable. Your champagne glasses will not be empty! Though as with any buffet, some pieces are better than others. For example, my first lobster tail was a near perfectly delicious. The second was a bit mushy (i.e. not very fresh). Also, the stone crab claws I had were watery and tasteless.
Tip, if you go, try to get an earlier reservation. The brunch ends at 2:30. We saw people with 1pm reservations who were still waiting at 1:30 because customers are slow to give up their tables. Also, sign up for a Total Rewards card at any of the associated hotels for a discount.
Lastly, I was surprised at how limited the selection was. My expectations were way off in that I thought it was a place that offered many variations of lobster. Definitely, that was not the case. Just one type of lobster tail, eggs benedict (made to order!) and ravioli. The latter contained almost no lobster. Keep in mind, the restaurant is not a full time buffet. Instead, it’s a steakhouse that sets up a small buffet on Sundays.

Best brunch buffet I’ve been to. They offer champagne while you wait for your table which is a nice touch since we made a reservation. Every item was top notch. My favorites were the Lobster Benedict, Popovers, Lobster tails, and king crab legs. I’d highly recommend coming here if you love seafood.

My husband & I are not fans of buffets but being a champagne lover I Insisted we try this one based on unlimited Perrier‑Jouët champagne. Around Vegas Perrier‑Jouët is generally around $ 19 a glass. I figured if the food wasn’t great at least all $$$ wouldn’t be lost. $ 90 per person/​$ 85 with Total Rewards card
Absolutely fabulous all around. Our waiter Sergio keep the champagne flowing… never an empty glass. Some of the items selected were lobster, crab legs, shrimp, filet, & prime rib. Everything was excellent! There were so many more choices like a charcuterie station, omelets, biscuits & gravy, mini waffles & pancakes, lamb, fish, sushi (only thing that looked passable) & so much more but we were too full to try it all. Do not skip dessert. It’s a must! They were beautiful & tasted as good as they looked. We took our time eating… never felt rushed or pressured to leave. Definitely worth the high price tag & a another trip back!

Finally tried the acclaimed Sunday Sterling Brunch at BLT Ballys and I am sad to say that I was let down. Was it hyped up too much for me? Were my expectations too great? I don’t know.
What I do know/​think is that for $ 100 a person, I do not think that it was worth it. At all. For that price tag, I was expecting better quality in both food and service but was let down in both regards.
After checking in for our reservation on time (and being a Diamond member), we still waited nearly 15 minutes for a table and watched 2 other parties that came after us get seated. Maybe there is another explanation for this but still a sour way to start brunch.
The brunch does come with free flowing Perrier Jouet champagne and my glass was never empty, I will attest to that! Cheers! However, it took me several attempts to get my orange juice refilled. :(
After finally being seated and drinks ordered, I explored the supposed star of the show: food! The buffet section was very. minimal and underwhelming. I was surprised and caught off guard by the small selection that was offered. But at that point, I thought ‘Hey, maybe the quality will blow you away and the selection won’t even matter.‘
How I wish that were true. The flavors were underwhelming. Items such as the filet were cooked unevenly, lacked taste and was cold by the time it reached my table. The sushi/​nigiri selection looked like it had seen better days, falling apart on the plates and unappealing. Other items included lobster tails, crab legs, oyster shooters, omelets, french toast, waffles, charcuterie, etc. You get the idea. The dessert station (which was a section of the bar counter)
I just can’t believe that at the hefty price tag, I didn’t leave amazed and wowed. Rather, much was left to be desired. I’m hoping it was a fluke. But I’ll never know.

This should be treated like the other Vegas dinner buffets, come prepared to eat dinner type dishes and a lot of it. They require reservations so make sure you plan ahead of time instead of trying to walk in. The service is impeccable, my champagne glass was never empty and my dishes were always gone by the time I got back from the buffet line.
The food is an awesome selection of meat and seafood. The selection is not as diverse as Bacchanal or Bellagio but all of it is delicious and hi quality. The king crab legs are humongous, larger than Bellagio and way larger than the small snow crab legs at Bacchanal. They serve grilled lobster that is lightly seasoned which is perfect. The lobsters are huge too so they definitely didn’t skimp there. The rack of lamb is tender and juicy, cooked to around medium. The prime rib and filet were well cooked and seasoned. They have other stuff too but this is the stuff you want to be getting at these buffets.
Their dessert selection is not as diverse as Bellagio or Bacchanal but it’s quite good and I love that they have a bowl of fresh berries as well.
All in all, the price tag is worth it if you come ready to eat.

This buffet is the best for unlimited lobster and cavier. The lobster is fresh tasting and good
Evening the filet is awesome too… all the food is good but the service from our waiters Javier and Felipe was the best… worth every penny of then $ 90pp cost. Cannot eat this everyday. but for those time when you need to eat lobster… this Is the place

I’ve been waiting to check this place out as I try to go to a brunch buffet every time in Vegas. I can say this is definitely the best brunch buffet spot right now in Las Vegas (this overtakes the now defunct jasmine brunch in the Bellagio… I’m still mourning at its lost). This brunch is in its own class!
+ top quality food items that tops other brunches
+ lobster tail!
+ unlimited champagne
+ good ambience and service
— pricey so not for everyone
Location:
is inside the Ballys resort and hotel. Parking is shared with Paris hotel and it connects both. The sterling brunch is located in the BLT steakhouse. This place had a recent renovation and he restaurant definitely is classy looking, much more then the casino itself.
Food:
This is the highlight. This place has all high end food items and no other buffet compares in terms of quality, as it should for a price point of 90 per person (85 per person if you sign up for a free total rewards card). Drinks are included in his brunch, including brut champagne! Does not include bloody Mary’s.
My favorite food items include the sea bass, filet mug in, Alaskan king crab, jumbo shrimp cocktail, the rack of lamb with chimichurri sauce and lobster tail. Yes gigantic pacific lobster tail is part of this buffet! Other items include made to order omelettes with lobster, caviar, sushi, cold items, charcuterie, prime rib and so much more. The overall selection is less the places like Bacchanal and wicked spoon, however his can be a good thing because they have a lot of blister dishes, while this brunch can concentrate making its more limited menu fantastic.
You also get a fresh batch of their freshly baked popovers which are some of the best popovers I’ve had (beats Jordan pond in Maine), however be careful because they can fill you up. They tasted great dipped with the lobster bisque.
Dessert great selection of mini pastries such as chocolate mousse, chocolate covered strawberries, macaroons, cake pops, and tarts. Their brioche bread pudding French toast with bananas foster is perhaps he best French toast I’ve ever had that I qualify it as a dessert. There are multiple layers to the bread that are crispy on the edges and the insides soak up the sweet syrup. Perfection!
Service:
Our waiter was excellent. He was attentive and made sure our plates were take away when done and our drinks were filled. Overall great experience.

90/​person, unlimited champagne. Order your lobster Benedict via the server, not at the buffet tables. Make a reservation! Even with a reservation it took us 30 mins to be seated, but you can get your champagne start while waiting.
Love the menu, it has every grand thing on it! The caviar is only the black tiny one, sitting in bowls between sushi and berries. The sushi is the weakest thing among all items, not professionally rolled and have very little choices. The oysters are the second weak thing, simply not meaty enough. All the cooked items are excellent, especially the rack of lamb and the prime ribs. Even the steak or sea bass in the iron skillets are not overcooked, all tender and flavorful!
Interior is quite dark, but service is friendly. Waiters are busy, so do expect a little wait trying to flag them down. They will automatically pour champagne and put down glasses of orange juice.

Aggo our waiter was exceptional! Attention to detail and goes above and beyond. Done the Sterling Brunch many years ago… It’s changed quite a bit bit still has exceptional service and great food.
Lobster tails, prime rib, caviar, Champaign and many other sides to tempt your stomach. Although not as cheap as some of the other breakfast buffets, the Sunday bruch event is well worth every penny.

tl;dr: Too pricy even for ayce lobster tail, lamb chops, caviar, and champagne unless you can REALLY put it away. Timing is everything it seems when it comes to the selections…
Sterling Brunch is a high end buffet where you hope that quality doesn’t have to take a backseat to quantity, but after filling our bellies I don’t believe any of us thought that any individual item was the best they ever had…
It’s $ 85 a head with a player’s card from Bally’s which is free to obtain so make sure you get one, then it’s just tax and tip which brings you up to around $ 105 all in. At this price, I’m sure you could find a place that you like for any of the individual items offered at this AYCE buffet, but Sterling Brunch caters to those of us who are looking for a deal with the high end stuff; where you can have your fill of champagne, lobster tails, and caviar; where you can have your cake and eat it; where for once quality might trump quantity. A one stop shop for bottomless Pierre Jouet which is constantly being refilled in our flutted glasses. This is probably the single biggest reason to try the buffet although it’s normally a deal-​breaker for me since I can’t drink very much. I didn’t even get to try the caviar since I gorged myself on three plates of protein and was also eyeing the dessert too, so that was on me. The biggest decision seems to be what to stuff in your mouth before your brain tells your stomach you’ve reached your limit. So my problem mostly is that I took a fool’s bet that I could get my money’s worth from SB but in the end the house always comes out ahead…
Bottom line about the lobster tails is that they didn’t live up to my tremendous expectations as there were large inconsistencies in texture from one to the next. I wound up having three over the course of brunch and only the first one I had was «acceptable», the other two were «mushy.» I couldn’t explain how that could be since I had two from the same batch and one from another batch. My son who also helped himself to multiple lobster tails seemed more content although he used a better strategy of going for whatever was being brought out at the moment he was getting his food…
The Lobster Ravioli pasta was thick and slightly chewy. The sauce was thick as well. Overall the dish was really rich and filling, for all of it’s looks a pretty heavy-​handed dish. I thought it has a very similar taste profile to the Lobster Bisque although the textures were totally different obviously…
Although I was too sated to even try the caviar, my wife said: «it’s ok, it’s just caviar…» I took this to mean that it’s probably not the best way to enjoy caviar at an ayce buffet, serving it in an individual ceramic although I noticed that they did offer it with traditional blini and garnishes…
I normally enjoy a salty, savory outside cut but I probably should have opted for a thicker, medium-​rare inside cut of the prime rib. They had already cut away the ribs so those were not an option. In retrospect, I should have at least tried a thick slice of meat if only to try the cap which looked good…
The minuscule Filet Mignon was cutesy but not tender enough. The Lamb Chop was marginally better and I feel as if I should have had another…
I was disappointed with all of the «cold» seafood: the Poached Jumbo Shrimp and the Snow Crab Claws were insipid, the Bluepoint Oysters were probably shucked a long time before I got to them and weren’t the freshest, and the Alaskan King Crab Legs were too much work to open as they were scored but not cracked. Skip…
The popovers were really amazing and airy but I couldn’t enjoy them because I was afraid of filling up on bread. The same with the desserts; everything looked so good all I actually tried was a bite here and there and some of the fruit…
Although I came out stuffed, I didn’t feel all that satisfied as if I had a terrific meal. I probably had a more satisfying feeling after coming out of Bacchanal or Wicked Spoon but a lot of it probably has to do with feeling like I got a better value for my $$$$…

This is the Mack Daddy of all Buffets/​AYCE in Vegas!!!
But… But… But. It’s very spendy. To the tune of $ 90 a person (80 with a TR card) however is well worth it if you like to eat posh. What I mean is if you don’t eat caviar, lobster, king crab or drink the bubbly for breakfast then you will be wasting your money and shouldn’t bother coming here. However, you get what you pay for here; the champagne served alone was worth the entry fee.
Unlike the feed lines at the other casino buffets, this place does require reservations. I suggest that you do it at least week in advance as this place is always busy.
The Food:
The buffet line was superb! Lobster tail, filet mignon, prime rib, lamb and king crab: a feast fit for a king!
The table menu boded items like lobster benedict, french toast, tuna tartare and caviar. We were unsure what to get from the kitchen so the server grabbed a sample of offerings for our first round of the aforementioned delicacies.
Everything that I ate was top notch with excellent service to match! We were tended to with excellent service, never had a champagne glass empty or a dirty dish in sight.
This was definitely a memorable dining experience that should be near the top of everyone’s to-​eat list in Vegas.
Eat with Confidence (pinkies up)

This place is as insane as the other reviewers say with regards to the lobster being good size and what you should be expecting if you are paying 90 $ pre tax and tip for a bottomless buffet. They give you bottomless champagne (a pretty decent one imo) I forgot the name of. You can order some things directly, all included in the price, such as lobster eggs bennedict or a regular one. The buffet itself has about 25 items, mainly seafood (lobster tails, king crab, oyster) and meats (filet mignon — medium rare amazingness it was truly $$$$ worthy, AMAZINGLY soft and tender bacon, lamb and prime rib which i did not try) As this place is located inside BLT Steak, a well known expensive steakhouse I would expect the taste to be out of this world and it truly was.
The reason I dock a star is because 90 $ I think is still too steep when you have 55 $ at Caesar’s which is a close second when it comes to quality but obviously no lobster tails, filet mignons, etc) but their variety is literally 3−4x. Sterling dessert though is also comparable to a pretty amazing college dining hall dessert experience. So while it is pretty great in terms of the small bites, Caesar’s is just so much better and much more variety. For example there is no ice cream or gelato here, and even a dining hall would have that… Anyhow I still would recommend for you to try it once just to see what the fuss is about, but in the future probably stick to Caesars.

Now that I’ve eaten at this buffet, I don’t think I can go to any other. This is a very specialized buffet in that it’s all high end/​high quality food and not a ton of choices/​fillers as other buffets tend to be overwhelming. It is only on Sunday, requires a reservation, and is $ 75 per person and well worth it.
What you get is endless champagne, excellent service, and amazing food. My favorite was the Lobster (I had 2), Chilean Sea Bass, Prime Rib, Alaskan King Crab, and Lamb Chops. I love to eat and just had to stuff myself (needless to say didn’t need to eat for the rest of the day). Just take your time eating and there is absolutely no rush.
From now on I’ll be coming back each time I visit Vegas. This is a must do place to eat.

Heavily clad in silver when it opened its doors to high rollers in 1981, Bally’s Sterling Brunch has undergone a few changes in the last thirty-​four years, but still considered a piece of classic Las Vegas on the ‘you’ve got to do it once’ list for locals and tourists alike a visit on the Sunday preceding Memorial Day showed the place to be still going strong even despite a doubling in price across the three decades past.
Undeniably a pricey experience, currently tallying $ 90 but justified by its boutique nature with all-​you-​can drink Champagne plus a spread including Grilled Lobsters, American Caviar, and King Crab Legs that far outshine the meager offerings at overwrought spots elsewhere, arrival at the doors of BLT Steak during service is likely to be met by a short line but with reservations the wait is minimal, my 9:30am arrival seeing me seated within five minutes by a GM who showed great skill in memorizing the names of diners at several tables where he checked in frequently.
Doing my best to snap a few photos before the buffet was in full swing before returning to my table to find a young waitress that was soon to be overstretched in serving more than a dozen tables, it was with champagne and coffee glass filled that the details of the dining room were described and soon given an enormous cheesy pop-​over plus whipped butter by a tall male back-​server the experience was underway, the airy bread exceedingly wispy beneath a soft golden shell with cheesy top-​notes so pronounced that it almost led me to request another — until I recalled what treasures were to come.
Acknowledging my limitations as relates to alcohol, and as such imbibing in only two-​and-​a-​half glasses of Perrier Jouet along with at least three-​fold as many refills of coffee during the course of my 175 minute stay, it was with a deliberate pace and path that I worked my way through the buffet’s offerings, a first plate featuring the restaurant’s heralded omelet prepped to order with 2oz of caviar, a trio of blinis, and a nicely grilled lobster tail plus freshly drawn butter at its side.
Generally underwhelmed by buffet seafood, but immediately impressed by both the lobster as well as the caviar, a second trip saw snappy shrimp set beside another tail, more roe, plus two types of crab and although the cold pre-​cracked claws were a little more grainy than I’d have hoped the King Crab was as sweet and succulent as most found in fine dining establishments spanning the strip, a follow-​up of benedicts from the kitchen taking far too long to prepare and meagerly decorated with protein when compared to what customers can just as easily gather themselves.
Taken by the delicacy of noodles surrounding lobster ravioli topped in a sauce quite similar to the bisque, but richer when thickened by hot cast iron, and more than a little surprised at just how supple the slab bacon was when sliced to order, it was here that sweets would first be sampled and although the miniature waffles topped with whipped cream and macerated fruit plus a drizzle of maple syrup were a nice balance of crisp, pliable, and yeasty the laminated pastry given a custard bath before being baked into French Toast was an absolute show-​stopper, easily amongst the best in the city and far superior to many that cost $ 17 – 20 at several 24-​hour cafes.
Spending some time admiring decorations fashioned from reappropriated utensils, the restaurant now nearing half-​full with several inebriated patrons pushing the noise level to a dull roar, it was unfortunate that neither the flimsy bacon nor run-​of-​the-​mill sausage were any better than that available at a neighborhood diner while the tiny slice of filet mignon was almost inedibly cooked past well-​the tender lamb chops as well as stuffed chicken proving far better seasoned and prepared on my final plate of savories before rounding out the experience in to a quartet of plates featuring small desserts, fruits, cheeses, and nuts.
At this point losing track of the server who seemed to be covering half the room, it was to the GM that I appealed for another cup of coffee and tasting through each of the sweets presented from the bar up front only two items really stood out — the hazelnut tart for its ability to reinvent Nutella into an ever-​so-​light mousse and the Cheesecake whose sour thickness was absolutely the opposite, a far better bite found in a small bowl of grilled peaches and candied bacon atop fresh pulled burrata that sat unannounced on the cold bar next to an equally fresh berry and yogurt parfait.
Without a doubt an experience, the quality of the cuisine and beverages easily justifying the cost for fans of shellfish and those capable of drinking their fair share of bubbly brut, Sterling Buffet lived up to its ‘bucket list’ billing as one of those places that everyone should try once, the impetus to return a matter of tastes and budget, particularly in a city where far more vast spreads can be found at a mere fraction of the cost.

I love brunch. When planning my meals in Vegas, I was toying with the idea of Sterling Brunch. I know it’s expensive for a brunch, but unlimited Perrier Jouet? I could drink at least a bottle, right? Well, the answer is yes I can! And more!

I don’t know if the menu is out there anywhere, but this is basically what they offered. Sure, it’s great having crab legs, claws and lobster tails, but they were all overcooked. And the truffle mashed potatoes were gluey, but had great truffle aroma and flavor. The caviar was good, but there’s only so much caviar a person can eat. The rack of lamb may have been my favorite from the carving station. It was cooked a nice rare. The dessert display was gorgeous and I enjoyed the few things I ate from it.
So in the end, is it worth it? For me, yes. But I drank over a bottle of Perrier Jouet by myself, had a couple servings of caviar, their famous lobster omelette, all the shellfish they offered and almost tried everything at the buffet. For the roommate, probably not. He doesn’t really drink that much nor did he eat a lot of caviar or shellfish. He’d rather have more variety since this buffet is on the smaller side.
I’ve read great things about how good this buffet used to be. I wish I had visited Sterling back then. Maybe not that much has changed, but unless you’re big on champagne and caviar, the food itself isn’t that much to rave about. I think you can get the same offerings at other buffets in Vegas.

Had an excruciatingly difficult time finding this place; just know there is no sign that says Sterling Brunch, but rather, it is inside a restaurant called BLT Steakhouse. I thought people were starting to mess with us when we asked where this place was and they kept saying in the back of the casino to the right.
Seriously, this is the best buffet you’ll find on the strip, and I’ve probably been to a good lot of them. Yes, it is steep in price (probably will spend about $ 105+ pp), but you won’t find nearly the freshest oysters, stone crabs, and lobster tails anywhere else. I probably ate a whole lineage of lobsters on my visit– they were all so nice and juicy (I think my friend had one rubbery tail but we’ll let that slide). There is a wide selection of other items available for brunch like caviar, sushi, prime rib, etc. LOVED IT ALL. You can also order eggs benedict with either steak, prosciutto, or lobster. The hollandaise sauce is amazing! All of this while you are treated to unlimited champagne. I stuffed myself so much that I didn’t quite make it to dessert but again, the display was beautiful. I’m sure they tasted great.
I’m ready to go back, this time with my sweat pants!
