The official Circus Circus dining page describes the buffet as an all-you-can-eat spread for brunch or dinner. It does not publish prices or hours, so third-party buffet trackers are the best source for current numbers.
Price with tax
Buffet prices are listed before tax. Sources cite the Las Vegas Strip sales tax as about 8.375%, which means the real cost is a little higher than the sticker price.

| Breakfast, 2 adults | $51.90 | $56.25 |

The current price for children ages 4 to 10 is not published online. In 2024, visitors reported that kids paid the same $24.95 as adults. Older listings showed discounted kid prices, so ask at the door.

Circus Circus buffet menu
Circus Circus does not publish an itemized buffet menu. The list below combines food seen by reviewers and items described in local listings. The selection rotates by day and meal.
Vegas Inc describes the buffet as having a salad bar, a carving station, American and international dishes, all-you-can-eat fried shrimp and many desserts.
Breakfast and brunch menu
The breakfast buffet is the simplest part of the spread. Reviewers highlight a build-your-own omelet and eggs-your-way station.
Commonly reported breakfast items include:
- Scrambled eggs and omelets
- Bacon and sausage
- Breakfast potatoes
- Biscuits and gravy
- French toast, waffles or pancakes
- Oatmeal and cereal
- Fruit, bread and pastries
Lunch style items from the salad bar are also reported, including Caesar salad, mixed greens, beets, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, hard-boiled eggs, potato salad, coleslaw and Capri salad.
Dinner menu by station
The dinner buffet repeats some brunch items and adds heavier dishes. A reviewer who visited at dinner described a mix of kid-friendly and adult food.
| Station | Items reported |
|---|---|
| American | Baked chicken, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, au gratin potatoes, beef stew, corn on the cob, cornbread, collard greens |

Desserts and drinks
The dessert table is basic. A reviewer found cake, pie and sugar-free options, plus a soft-serve ice cream machine.
Milk and Pepsi products were served at the reviewer’s visit. Vegas Inc lists the buffet as serving alcohol, and other guides say alcoholic drinks are bought separately, so ask what is included before you order.
What is not usually on the menu
This is a budget buffet, so it does not offer the premium items found at higher-priced Strip buffets.
- No crab legs
- No prime rib at the dinner visit we reviewed
- No sushi bar
- No large international live-cooking stations
Is the Circus Circus buffet worth the price?
At roughly $26 to $29 before tax, the buffet is one of the cheapest on the Strip. A Las Vegas Then and Now review says it costs about $30 less than buffets such as Wynn, Bacchanal and Wicked Spoon.
The same review praised the cleanliness and presentation of the food. It also said the food quality was only average and that there was no signature dish.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Low price for the Strip | Limited days and hours |
| Kids under 4 eat free | No premium items |
| Clean and well stocked | Food is average |
| Easy if you are staying on site | Menu details not official |
The buffet works best for families, guests staying at the resort and visitors who want quantity at a low price. If you want a special meal, a higher-end buffet is a better fit.
