but for the cost of them now, you're really better off picking from one of the many awesome normal restaurants in the city and having a great meal.

Excellent point. Mine are usually comped or greatly discounted if they weren't I probably wouldn't go as much. More family style places are opening such as Carbone at Aria. One of the best veal parms I've ever had but it's best to go with a group and share all of the dishes. Lots of great places to eat on and off the strip. Downtown has stepped up their game big time too.

Having been to over 2 dozen buffets in Las Vegas I couldn't agree more.
The main pull of buffets is its all you can eat and the selection.
The thing is, for the basic servings at these buffets, the quality of the buffet at say, Red Rock is not too far from the quality of say, Bachannal at Caesars Palace. You pay $40- $50 more at Bachannal but most of the items are similar quality.
The additional money is mainly for dessert quality, seafood quality (which isn't always served), special/made to order station offerings, and presentation. If you are going to a buffet like Bachannal or Wicked Spoon where you are paying a premium price, get your money's worth and skip the stuff in the warming trays and only get the special/made to order stuff like carving stations, seafood, and desserts.
I'd still rather just go somewhere and get a good quality meal than go to a buffet and get a lot of food that is slightly lower quality. There are so many good hole in the wall places in the city that are cheap yet amazing you can still get a lot of good food for a low price. I see no need for buffets.
If you must go to a buffet I suggest sticking to one type of food. Don't try to sample everything there. For example only stick to the seafood, or only stick to the italian, or only stick to the American, or only stick to the Chinese, and simply get a lot of it. And don't splurge on deserts unless you want to be in the fetal position for a couple hours.
I think the best buffet regardless of price is The Buffet at the Wynn.
I think the best buffet for your buck is Studio B Buffet at the M. It's $30 ($45 for seafood nights) yet in my opinion around the same quality as the top end places on the strip, maybe slightly less quality but still in the same league despite being half as expensive.
The Station Casinos have good affordable buffets, especially the ones at Red Rock and Green Valley Ranch. $15 with a players card that you can sign up for for free, and the quality isn't bad at all.
