Where to eat Christmas day in Vegas

I've booked my trip and I'll be staying at TI for 6 days of Christmas fun. Question is where to go to have the Christmas feast? Where do y'all suggest?

 

I will be hating the airport come the 27th, but Vegas during Christmas. Should be rather interesting.

Much like Thanksgiving the buffets and restaurants will put out some kind of "special menu" in many places.    The prices range as much as any other time of the year.    If you are staying at the TI I'm sure their buffet will do something.    

 

There are far fewer people in town  on Christmas vs Thanksgiving.   You can probably get a seat just about anywhere you want without worrying about reservations.   

I have never dined at TI.  But have eaten many Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at Strip hotels.

 

What PJ said.  How many of you will there be?

 

I'll add, don't expect the "special" holiday menu for cafe/restaurant to be like home (not where I'm from, anyway...they prepare food differently out west).  Buffet may be best bet if you want to pig out, but get in line early.

 

As for it being Christmas, holiday decorations are worth taking some time out to look around.  Bellagio Conservatory is a must see, but go early in the day, or prepare to be mobbed after about 5 pm.  Millions of people with their kiddies, photo taking by everyone at every display.  Feels like bumper cars.   And that's before the holiday displays are set up!

 

Ven/Pal and Cosmo on the Strip have had ice skating shows in the past.  Don't know about this year. 

 

Good luck, and enjoy your Vegas Christmas.

Try this link. It is from 2017, but it should give you an idea.

There are many choices listed. I guess it depends on your budget & where you want to dine.

If you are planning to eat at a "better" restaurant, make your reservations early.

Just 1, me. Getting out early isn't an issue as I'm done eating by 7:00 am, it seems like the only folks out are the joggers, me and the folks sleeping on the sidewalks. The normal TI buffet is on the ok side but nothing as elabrate as the Rio.

We don't dine on the strip, but you mentioned Rio and everything i've read about there buffet is its gone down hill and the seafood buffet isn't offered any more.  We have been to Vegas and besides Bellagio which is nicely decorated, we were very dissappointed as in most cases it was just another day at the office.

Christmas day in Vegas is a good plan but the Vegas will be Flooded with people. The Christmas holidays makes it crowded so don't forget to make reservations.
