In all our years in Las Vegas, we’ve never heard of a buffet refusing anyone admission based on age. To the best of our knowledge, no Las Vegas buffet has any age restrictions whatsoever. In fact, almost all of them offer discounts for children; most buffets don’t charge anything for kids two or three years old and under (and this is a great play for families who want to feed their toddlers as fast as possible; you can have a plate of food in front of a two-year-old in 30 seconds flat once you’re seated at a buffet).
We were intrigued to hear about the age restriction at the Ameristar Casino in Blackhawk, Colorado, thinking it perhaps had something to do with a champagne brunch or free booze, so we called.
It turns out that Ameristar management is so proactive in discouraging underagers from even entering the property that no one younger than 21 is allowed to dine at any of the restaurants there, including the grill, deli, and Starbucks.
