You know, hoping nobody would notice.<\/p>\n<p>Well, we noticed, because you deserve all the Las Vegas buffet news you can stuff into your face!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10209\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10209\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-10209 size-full\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" alt=\"Excalibur Buffet\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/excalibur_buffet9.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10209\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We totally forgot we took photos of the Excalibur buffet after its $6 million renovation in 2015.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Excalibur Buffet got a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/excalibur-buffet-opens-6-2-million-renovation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$6.2 million renovation<\/a> in 2015. Which you&rsquo;d already know if you read photo captions.<\/p>\n<p>Excalibur Buffet will have limited hours, which is probably best for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>We kid because we love!<\/p>\n<p>Selections will include made-to-order omelets, rotisserie chicken, iced shellfish, smoked brisket, sushi, beef birria and a dessert station with bread pudding, crepes, donuts, cakes, frozen custard and more.<\/p>\n<p>There are few words that strike more fear into the hearts of sushi fans than &ldquo;Excalibur Buffet sushi.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, we woke up on the wrong side of the snark today. Whatever, you&rsquo;re still reading.<\/p>\n<p>The Excalibur Buffet will be open Thursday through Monday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>We may tease about the meh reviews, but there&rsquo;s no denying the Excalibur Buffet is a great value.<\/p>\n<p>Monday through Thursday, it&rsquo;s $24.99, children (6-11) cost $14.99. Fat kids cost $18.99. On Saturday and Sunday, it&rsquo;s $29.99; children cost $15.99, and fat kids cost $19.99. Kids five and younger eat free. Yes, even the fat kids.<\/p>\n<p>Because the world is such a humorless place, we have to mention we made up the &ldquo;fat kids&rdquo; pricing to make sure you were paying attention. We do not endorse fat shaming. We are, however, supportive of stupid shaming. Stupid kids pay extra. Better?<\/p>\n<p>Please address all letters of complaint about this blog post to the Excalibur Buffet. Don&rsquo;t shoot the messenger. You&rsquo;re the one who let your kid get fat. For starters, stop taking them to buffets. They&rsquo;re going to find out they don&rsquo;t just have &ldquo;big bones&rdquo; someday. Save them some time!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10207\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10207\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-10207 size-full\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" alt=\"Excalibur Buffet\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/excalibur_buffet1.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10207\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">All due respect, but it may be time to update Excalibur Buffet&rsquo;s &ldquo;It&rsquo;s just O.K.&rdquo; tagline.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even with its limited hours, it&rsquo;s great to see the Excalibur buffet reopen!<\/p>\n<p>Other buffets back in Las Vegas include: Bacchanal at Caesars, Wicked Spoon at Cosmo, MGM Grand Buffet, Circus Buffet at Circus Circus and the Wynn buffet reopens July 1.<\/p>\n<p>If you have the cash, we&rsquo;d recommend the Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace. It&rsquo;s badass, and a value at $65 (weekdays).<\/p>\n<p>We love Excalibur, as it now has Mac King (formerly at Harrah&rsquo;s), the Australian Bee Gees and Thunder From Down Under. The &ldquo;Tournament of Kings&rdquo; show is coming back July 14, too.<\/p>\n<p>We also love Excalibur because we&rsquo;re pretty sure it&rsquo;s the only Las Vegas casino featuring codpieces.<\/p>\n<p>Vegas needs more codpieces!<\/p>\n<p>Sure, they&rsquo;ve got them at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lvrenfair.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Renaissance Festival<\/a>, but that&rsquo;s an annual thing. We need a steady supply of codpieces.<\/p>\n<p>You might say Las Vegas could use a buffet of codpieces. You knew we&rsquo;d bring it back around.
