Greetings Ruby. I have and I love it. Before the great plague of 2020-21 I would stay in downtown and the Main Street Station Buffet was always one of my favorite stops. I love the decor and the food. I am so glad your review was positive and I am coming out in March 2022. Thanks for a great review and take care girl.
Yes! Years ago we asked someone working in a different casino if their buffet was good and they totally recommended Main Street Station buffet instead! We've been frequenting it ever since!
Will you PLEASE do a video on best hotels on the strip that are under or around 100$ a night With or without the resort fees. Going in January during the week so I know they're cheaper weekdays. But want to know your opinion on what ones are the better ones to stay at..stayed at one of the Luxor towers a little while ago and it wasn't dirty or anything just different I guess lol
You know Ruby! i think/believe in 2022 you are reaching a HUGE TH-cam milestone, with a well deserved platinum plague. It's time you are recognized for your creative ideas, content, & hard work.
I was living in Las Vegas when Main Street opened. The buffet back then was the best bargain in town. Yes, there were others more opulent--MGM, Rio, Mirage. But Main Street had the best bang for the buck. Nice to see they're bringing it back again.
3:45 Portuguese sausage, scrambled egg plus rice is a very common fast food break fast plate in Hawaii. Many of the Downtown Vegas hotels (especially Boyd's properties) cater to Hawaiian crowds so it's good to see that they have it for their breakfast buffet.
Hey Ruby. I’m coming to Vegas from the U.K. for my first ever trip to the states in August and your videos are so unbelievably helpful. I’ve even got a few pages of “Ruby’s tips” in the little notebook I’ve started. So a thousand thank you’s bringing a bit of Vegas to me before I go. I was wondering, do you have any tips for someone who’s coming to Vegas on their own? I’m in town for a convention but will have a few days either side to explore but I’ll be on my own unless I can make some friends while I’m there. Have you made any videos specifically for solo travellers or do you plan on doing any at some point? Thank you again.
I just enjoyed the Main Street buffet last week. It is very much worth the trip. The food is very good and the service was wonderful. The desserts were my favorite. Loved the sugar free cheesecake. Highly recommended.
Always enjoyed this buffet, but it used to be like $14 for lunch just a couple years ago. Crazy how much things have increased in price in a short time.
20 years ago I stayed in Las Vegas for 42 days. When I needed to stretch my money, I ate one meal a day at the Main Street Station buffet. It was the best cheap buffet in Vegas!
Have you tried Blueberry Hill on Decatur & Flamingo! It's Very good. I looove their Turkey dinner. They don't skimp on their portions! And their desserts are amazing❤❤😃everything is good there tho..
Another one of my favorite places to eat and gamble at Mainstreet the buffet is pretty good and you get a discount with your players card and can use comps or points to pay win win
Ruby - you're going to hit your 100k soon. Keep up the great job. I've sent your links to lots of friends and family, many of which are execs in the F&B industry and every one of them have replied back with how much they enjoy them and now follow you. Keep being you! :)
I've ate there multiple times when I was given food credit for overnight stays at The Cal. Since The Cal doesn't have a buffet, it was just an easy walk over the covered bridge to Main Street.
For whatever it's worth my Dad owned a buffet throughout my childhood but I hit this recently and it was surprisingly quite solid. Clean, the hostess came frequently and was nice, the selection was more than I expected and everything was very nice. Nothing bland whatsoever. Seriously, only negative was an eclair that was very very hard. Wouldn't even deduct points though. Definitely the buffet spot on Fremont, will be back for sure.
Great review! I love the way you describe food in all of your videos. I’d almost bet money you have experience in some kind of culinary arts! Looking forward to many more reviews 😎
We have gone there many times, but the price has skyrocketed. It was surprising that you didn’t have the shoyu chicken! That’s where we discovered it and now we cook it at home. Your reviews are really honest and informative; well done!
One of the first useful things I ever read on the internet in the late 90s was a review of Vegas buffets by a local. I remember he liked the "station" buffets and said that is where the locals went. There are quite a number of them. I wonder what the term "station" means if anything.
Station Casinos has 8 hotel/casinos in the Las Vegas area that many locals and value conscious tourists visit, pre Corona virus they all had affordable buffets. Since 2020 Station's Casinos which is owned by Red Rock gaming have eliminated buffets as a cost savings measure.
I’ll be at the Golden Nugget July 18-22 celebrating my birthday & was wondering how the Main Street is now & your review tells me it’s a must. Thanks for your video.
8:38 it’s beef but you may have meant that. Isn’t this buffet known for its Polynesian/Hawaiian food? I loved the kalua pork & beef stew (pretty authentic)
I've eaten at the Garden Court buffet. It's a good deal. The food is good but not amazing. The dining room is really pretty and spacious. It's the best buffet downtown.
This buffet has always been my favorite before the shutdown. I have not been back since. Do they still cook eggs to order? You use to be able to get omelets made to order also.
We went to the Main Street Station buffet a few weeks ago. What I noticed on your video was that you missed the best part of the breakfast which is the omelette bar. You can go have them make an omelette for you and I had it and it was excellent! Another item that I also tried was the pork chop and it was excellent! The only problem we encountered was some of the food was a little cold. The desserts that we tried left a little to be desired but maybe they have improved them since we have been there. We only found one that we liked and I can’t remember which one it was. We were wondering how good it would be because of the price but all in all we thought it was pretty good. We always enjoy your videos Ruby. My favorite video of yours was the opening of Resorts World. You did an excellent job!.
We were there last month three times and yes the buffet is very good. You should have got the omelet to order at the omelet station, it was really good and they pack it full of whatever you want. Ya this buffet is very worth what you pay.
Stayed there and had the buffet a few times for breakfast at the time it was really cheap (12.99) I loved it. I don’t eat buffets as a rule but this one I liked :)
You make it look so good and it is! I’ve been eating there since it was under $10, was it $5.99 or $6.99 with a Players Card, always enjoyed it, stay safe…🤙🏼
I was there last friday found it diwn the street from our hotel the plaza....great food loved the sausage and they have everything ..yall better go there hungry
Hi Ruby! Love your videos! Went to Main St Station buffet this week on a visit. We were disappointed. The corned beef hash was the best item there ( I believe it came out of a can) The mock loco had egg shells in it😮 Maybe we caught them on a bad day. Keep up the great work!
Can you do a short video on the hold fees from different hotels? It's something that's usually overlooked since everyone is focused on the resort fees. But I've heard it can range from a flat fee the whole time like 150-200$ or a daily hold from 100$-400$ every night your staying. I think it's a big thing to include especially if you're using a debit not credit card cause that can totally cut into your budget without even really thinking about it. I know you guys have stayed at majority of the hotels so it'd be interesting to know what ones do a flat fee hold and what ones do a nightly fee hold.
@@rogeeeferrari It matters to those folks who do not use a credit card and have limited funds. I find it a bad idea to use debit card since they carry no protection, but some folks think different and perhaps live beyond their means.
@@rogeeeferrari Or if your cc only has say $250 on it It would be good to know it will be on hold...so not to expect to use it... or yes for those who must use debit.
@@markmckinley5989 I have no sympathy for anyone who checks into a casino hotel on a shoestring budget, Las Vegas isn't a place to go with limited funds...
Heading over in August for the killers concert , was hoping to stay there , just no price's out for the date's yet , what other hotel would you recommend around Fremont Street , cheap and cheerful , all the money is on the flights from Dublin Ireland lol
Watching this video convinced me to try this buffet as I’ll be there next week and we will need a few options! I enjoy all your videos and trust your judgement🌸 and yes this might be where we go for our thanksgiving meal!
OK.... What about the statue of Lady Luck that is in that restaurant? I think the Garden Court is beautiful and you should have shown us around the decor etc.
Love your reviews! You both seem like cool people who love to have fun, gamble and the reviews are very good. Making me hungry watching this one. Best bet is to get there at opening time
Been there several times over the years and always thought it was a good value. I had to laugh at how much raving there was over the corned beef hash, since it's the stuff out of the can. No judgement though, because I love the stuff!
This looks like a winner in every way. Especially for the price. Not a single demerit. Even the atmosphere looks nice. I'm going here next time! Thanks for posting this. Cheers!
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if I never went and ate at a buffet again after the whole covid thing. I was never a fan, I always loaded up on the wrong stuff early and could never eat very much anyways. May I suggest Ruby that you try a "happy hour" angle and find the best ones on the strip? I think a lot of places have great happy hours and not too many videos on it....just a suggestion. Enjoy your videos regardless thank you.
You are very descriptive with the food. I watch other Las Vegas Vlogers like Jaycation, Say Hi To Mathew ,Norma ,Pompsi ,all you can vegas ,and Adventures in Wanderland. I may watch more of you!

Comment below your thoughts on Main Street Station's Buffet!
We were there on Friday. We liked it. I like Hawaiian foods. Thank you for sharing!

I personally have not, but there are so many options in Vegas it sure helps to have input before choosing one!

Well said neil
You mean silver play button. But eventually Ruby will get the Ruby play button. She has to , they named it after her.

my virtual meal family....pass the gravy pleeze ruby!
Tons of Hawaiians go there. In Hawaii, everyone knows this is a really great value and tasty. Glad you came and checked it out.
Boyd Vacations Hawaii travel packages come with huge discount coupons for their buffets.
I ate there about 6 weeks ago. It was my first Vegas buffet since COVID and I was pretty impressed. Thank you for the fun video, Ruby!
During EDC weekend. I came here before heading to EDC day 2 and boy I left happy, full, and without hunger that lasted till the next day!
Main Street Station has always been an underrated gem. The hotel room are basic, but they used to easily comp them
I love buffets but hate the waste.
Thanks for the tour.

@@robertmcdonald5277 You will have no problems very soon. Inflation is going to be make a two egg breakfast cost $20 at Dennys in very short order.
Yeah this seem like a $14-$15 breakfast. Not $19
Cz, ok. I'm 63 . eggs back in the day 35 CENTS A DOZEN. I STILL GET 12 FOR. $2.00. GOOD LUCK. GOD BLESS.
@@robertmcdonald5277 I dont know where you live, but here in SoCal, eggs have almost doubled in price over the last 18 months.

Glad to see Main Street is open again. One of my favorites downtown
They have always a the best buffet downtown.
Im glad they have their bufffet open unlike so many that have not returned

I was planning on going to the bacchanal buffet next time we come but now I’m considering Main Street 🤤
I am at 2 minutes 15 seconds and I have to applaud your buffet selection placement skills.......top notch.
I always enjoy your videos. No BS, or favoritism towards any business. Always informative. Keep it up!
Excellent review Ruby …. I would eat there after watching your video✅✅
Yep!
I may walk over here one morning when I’m there next month. Staying at The Plaza so a quick walk for what looks like a great brunch!
Been to Main St Station several times. Definitely a great value. Last time I was there they did have several types of fish and seafood for dinner.
I really enjoyed TRAVEL RUBY. Two Thumbs UP.
Yes it is. We eat there every time we go to Vegas. 2x a year before the pandemic. Still #1 for us. Cant wait to go in 2022.
I've always heard good things about the main street buffet
A few years back I went for breakfast and it was solid. I would go back for more.
That Buffet used to be one of my Top 3 Buffets! They were the only one that had Ox Tail Stew...delicious!😋😋😋😋😋😋
I've ate there multiple times when I was given food credit for overnight stays at The Cal. Since The Cal doesn't have a buffet, it was just an easy walk over the covered bridge to Main Street.
Hi Ruby!! I also love the Bread pudding too.I put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side and have it with a cup of coffee.
Omg....... now you’re speaking my language
Going to Vegas in Sept. Will be sure to go here to eat. Thanks so much for your posts.
I noticed you had a mask on at the buffet bar. Do they still require you to wear them?
@@kathiemcgee5984 No.
This Buffet actually looked cared for, and you are always gracious and polite to the servers, I really enjoy you and Mr. Ruby....
Looks delicious Ruby, I’ve never been there before.

I liked when they had the brisket , collard greens and ham hocks ~ black eyed peas during lunch hours cornbread too
I Always like the Main street Station. Good buffet , good gaming lot history there . Nice stain glass Wood features
We have gone there many times, but the price has skyrocketed. It was surprising that you didn’t have the shoyu chicken! That’s where we discovered it and now we cook it at home. Your reviews are really honest and informative; well done!

I love the hostess' duck walk, around 5:35 in the video.
Thank you! As always I enjoy! You guys make me want to be there.
This reminds me of what places like Golden Corral were when I was a kid. Delicious and lots of variety.
Thx for the review - am a local & luv Vegas for the Buffets! Will hit it up
You bring the buffets to life!
Great place! Worth every penny!
I JOINED YOUR CHANNEL TODAY, THANKS FOR SHARING THIS EXCITING TO WATCH VIDEO, KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT JOB.

It was the first place I ate during my visit to Vegas December 2019.

Ruby makes Vegas so appetising ..
Enjoy your videos. Maybe try dinner there sometime gives us a review
I’m really enjoying the buffet reviews! Love how each food is described and exactly saying what the items are on the plate. 😊
I was there last friday found it diwn the street from our hotel the plaza....great food loved the sausage and they have everything ..yall better go there hungry
Oh the server was awsome she was so funny took our picture!

just found your channel as it showed up on my home page, and i clicked “follow”.

We love the Plaza Hotel!
Thanks ruby
Watching this video convinced me to try this buffet as I’ll be there next week and we will need a few options! I enjoy all your videos and trust your judgement🌸 and yes this might be where we go for our thanksgiving meal!
I've had this buffet a few years ago and wasn't impressed with the food. Def will try it again now watching your review!
Different owners now
Really great buffet review Ruby, thank you!
Is there a time limit on how long you can stay
Great vlog as usual thank you very informative
Thanks Matthew! There is NO time limit.
OK.... What about the statue of Lady Luck that is in that restaurant? I think the Garden Court is beautiful and you should have shown us around the decor etc.
Coming to Las Vegas next month and I am heading to the Main Street Station Buffet first!
so how was it???
Love your reviews! You both seem like cool people who love to have fun, gamble and the reviews are very good. Making me hungry watching this one. Best bet is to get there at opening time
It would be nice if you tested their prime rib.
Nice video. Do you have any videos about the MGM and Circus Circus brunch buffet?
Hi Alicia, I do have one on the MGM grand buffet already. CC coming soon :)
@@TravelRuby Thanks. I will check out the MGM video.
CC is really bad!
My best slots win was at Main Street Station...years ago when I was young.
🐞Looks just perfect. What about Laughlin? Thanks!🐞
Been there several times over the years and always thought it was a good value. I had to laugh at how much raving there was over the corned beef hash, since it's the stuff out of the can. No judgement though, because I love the stuff!

As always a great review thanks
very informative, good job
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if I never went and ate at a buffet again after the whole covid thing. I was never a fan, I always loaded up on the wrong stuff early and could never eat very much anyways.
May I suggest Ruby that you try a "happy hour" angle and find the best ones on the strip? I think a lot of places have great happy hours and not too many videos on it....just a suggestion. Enjoy your videos regardless thank you.
Great idea!
Same here, I get full sooo fast..Buffets are too much food and too much money for me but my hubby loves them!🤣
@Jeffrey's Broadcast 👍🤣
LOVE YOU RUBY!!!
You are very descriptive with the food. I watch other Las Vegas Vlogers like Jaycation, Say Hi To Mathew ,Norma ,Pompsi ,all you can vegas ,and Adventures in Wanderland. I may watch more of you!
I love your channel is so informative and you guys keep it up 👍 new to your channel.
