The 24-Hour Buffet Pass in 2026: Does It Still Pay Off?

MGM's buffet pass has quietly become the best-value food purchase on the Strip — if you plan a proper buffet marathon.

How the pass works

Priced around $89–99 for a 24-hour window, MGM's buffet-style pass grants repeated entry to participating buffets within one 24-hour period. Track exactly which properties are participating when you buy — the roster changes yearly and has included MGM Grand and Luxor buffets, and previously Caesars-owned ones under another name.

The math

  • Breakfast (~$30 value) + dinner (~$45 value) = break-even
  • Add a third meal or a late dessert visit and the pass prints money
  • Drinks still cost extra outside the pass on most menus

Who wins

Big groups with flexible stomachs. Solo travelers trying to "game" the pass rarely break even — appetite is the real currency here.

Where it fails

Pass access usually excludes weekend surcharge hours and holiday schedules. Read the blackouts before planning your grand tour; check-in windows have occasionally started at 4 AM to favor the dinner-inclusive round trip.
