Completing our series on buffets, this third and final poll surveys all the low-end spreads, with retail prices for the regular dinner (no club discounts or specialty nights) of $19.99 and less.
Interestingly, this is the largest of the three price categories, with 21 buffets running between $9.99 and $19.95.

This one's a no-brainer: Main Street Station is twice as popular as the number-two low-end buffet. End of story? Well, not so fast.
Why not? Because the fact that Silverton placed second, with 55 more votes than the Gold Coast in third, is not only amazing, but misleading.
If you don't know, you can read in the comments that we inadvertently left out Silverton initially and only popped it in there three days after this poll launched when VegasDawn pointed it out to us. We'd already logged more than 1,000 votes by that time, so Silverton's results are no doubt more than a little inaccurate. Still, it's abundantly clear that Silverton's Seasons Buffet comes in at at least second and probably would have given MSS a better run for its money if it had been there from the beginning.
The same is true for Palace Station, which was also left out initially and finished with a fairly strong showing, ninth out of the 22 choices.
Otherwise, they lined up about as you might expect based on price, with the more expensive buffets toward the top and the less expensive ones toward the bottom -- except for South Point, which at $19.99 is the most expensive in this group, but placed seventh from the bottom.
Suncoast especially, but also Primm Valley, Fiesta Rancho, and Cannery, might want to take note that theirs are among the higher priced dinner buffets, but lowest ranked.
We found two surprises in the results. First, that the Fremont's buffet placed as high as it did, fifth of 22. Based on other feedback we've received over the years (plus social-media reviews we monitor), we'd've expected it to come in lower.
And second, the Rampart buffet came in lower than we'd've expected, 13th out of 22. But that's just subjective, as it's one of our personal favorites.
If you haven't voted in the current poll, here's your chance to choose your favorite buffet of them all without any concern for price, location, or wait times. Due to the screw-up with this poll, it'll be interesting to see where Silverton winds up relative to Main Street Station.
