I eat brunch here 4 times during my stay in Vegas and it was very good, it cost $9.10.

There was a good choice of food which was always hot and replaced quickly when it ran out. I always had something from the Mongolian section and the chicken with almonds was fantastic.

I would recommend trying this buffet and there is a free shuttle from Bills Gamblin Hall every 10-15 miniutes that brings you here.

My wife and I ate here recently and had a nice breakfast. The fresh made omelet I had was very good. The rest of the food we had was pretty average. The selection was decent, although not as extensive as the bigger casinos on the strip. I believe the price was around $5-6 for breakfast, so it was certainly worth the money. We would go here again if we were in the area, but wouldn't make a special trip for it.

We ate at the Ports O' Call Buffet at the Gold Coast to save a little money and see if we hit a bargain, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that the buffet was a really good deal, and had many items to choose from.

We ate at brunch, which, as other reviews say, cost 13.95. However, kids cost about 4 dollars less. While we were paying for our buffet, we saw some other people who had coupons and their Club Coast card, and their buffet price got slashed down to less than 8 bucks.

The servers were really friendly; they would add more beverages when the cup was not finished yet, and would always ask if we need ed something.

The environment was really spacious, not squishy like some other buffets, and was really bright.

The food was our big surprise. Although not the best that you can find in Vegas, there were some really excellent things. The thing that we were really surprised about was the Chinese stir fry station. You could make your own stir fry, add whatever you wanted to, and the friendly chef, who speaks Chinese and actually remembers you and will run to you to say that your meal is finished (which is by far again another thing that we have never experienced at a buffet), will cook your selection. Why were we surprised by this? Well, the food tasted really authentic, and it was a giant platter! If you got the same platter of food at a fancy Chinese restaurant on the strip, it would cost more than 10 bucks! Also, the stir fry tasted excellent, and we really wanted to get another platter of stir fry.

There were also other selections, such as cereals, yogurts, fruits, italian pizza (not really good), pasta (no comment), seafood (salmon cream cheese spread for bagels, swordfish, etc.) section, regular american section (your amercian breakfast; the special thing was that waffles were freshly made (unlike pancakes), and they had clubs, hearts, diamonds and spade shape), eggs benedict (which was always completely taken...by lunchtime, there were only like 5 remaining...out of like about 30+, mexican section, which had chips, enchiladas, tacos, etc., a carving section, which had a beef steamboat (okay...not prime rib...fyi), and a spiral sliced ham (pretty good, and flavorful) and lastly the authentic chinese section and the huge selection of desserts.
The chinese section had chow mein (very good tasting...al dente pasta, which had a bite to it (unlike some places), egg rolls (also very good) , and your average orange chicken, etc. Also, there was a stir fry section (which I talked about earlier), and a mongolian station...pretty authentic as well. The desert section had a wide range to pies, cookies, and munchies...like donuts and other pastries...like danish. Also, there was a soft serve ice cream station.

We were pleasantly surprised by this buffet, and would return next time for breakfast or brunch.

Two free breakfast buffet tickets came with booking our room. Despite being on diets (bad idea when you are going to Vegas), we decided not to waste the tickets.

The buffet is what you would expect for $6.95 but with some extras. There are MANY choices however not too many healthy options. There is plenty of fresh fruit. I tried a few samplings of the unhealthy stuff and it tasted fine. They also have cookies and cakes, even at breakfast.

Some less fatty foods would be nice but you can't complain when the buffet is less than $7!

My husband and I ate the Sunday morning brunch buffet here while staying at the Gold Coast. Because it was the brunch buffet, it was a little pricier than normal - $11.95 instead of $6.95. The food was good and there was a wide selection, but it was very random - chocolate waffles and scrambled eggs were sitting alongside grilled swordfish, penne with spinach, and cheese enchiladas.

If you can get past that, the food is good and the price is still better than most of the buffets along the Strip.
