My brother Charles, our friends Ben Stone and Jasmine Trias and I carpooled to Buffalo Bill’s in Primm for the opening weekend of the new Sunday Champagne Brunch on Aug. 11. Yes, the Buffalo Bill’s at Exit 1 on I-15, a convenient stop returning from Southern California or heading out of Las Vegas.
This Sunday drive ended up being a nice and relaxing daytime getaway from the hustle-and-bustle and crowds of the Las Vegas Strip, things that are part of life as longtime residents. Buffalo Bill’s reminds of Frontier Town at Disneyland; it’s rustic, a step back in time and charming.
If there’s a familiarity to Sunday Champagne Brunch at the Buffet, it’s because the executive and culinary team’s resume includes Station Casinos. The chef even lives onsite to devote his time to the buffet. Our unanimous verdict: We enjoyed the Sunday Champagne Brunch, and we would make the Sunday drive again.
Currently, the pricing for Sunday Champagne Brunch is $29.99 + $10.99 for bottomless champagne and mimosas, and Sunday hours are 8 a.m.-4 p.m. What do you get for this very reasonable pricing by Las Vegas standards? Limitless mimosas and freshly carved prime rib, ham and turkey with all the fixings.
There’s more: A made-to-order omelet station, other classic brunch buffet items and a vast selection of desserts. A highlight: Seasoned and sautéed crab legs flavored with a garlic and herb blend. Is this a Wynn, Bellagio or Caesars Palace buffet? No. Does it need to be? No. There’s room for everyone at the table.
Post-brunch, we checked out the cool Mob artifacts, event center (Patti LaBelle had headlined that weekend and dined at the buffet), other restaurants and more. This Sunday drive for Sunday Champagne Brunch was just what the doctor ordered, and we’ll return for the great food, friendly service and can’t-beat pricing.
