Here's a compiled list of specials for people who appreciate a bargain (current as of Aug 24, 2008). All specials that vary are listed as Other Dinner Specials. Prices are only listed if they could be verified. All specials that were not verifiable, either through the restaurant’s web site, another reputable site, or a recent review have been eliminated. This list is not all-inclusive and there may be other specials available.
While most of these specials have been in place for long periods of time, they are of course subject to change - either being eliminated or the price going up; both Fiesta casinos seem to change their specials quite often, as does the Cannery and Marilyn’s Café at the Tuscany.
For many of these, at least one member of the party must have the casino’s slot card and many are available only to persons 21 years of age and older.

Buffets: The below information was only partially updated, but will be fully updated by Sep 01, 2008.
Most Las Vegas hotel/casinos have buffets. The prices vary greatly as does the quality. Most have champagne brunches on the week-ends (some on both Saturday and Sunday, some Sunday only).
Gourmet-Quality (and are priced accordingly with lunch from about $15 to $20 dollars and dinner from the low $20's to over $30):
Bellagio
Paris
Wynn Las Vegas
Mirage
Treasure Island
Expensive
Rio (the Rio also has a separate seafood buffet that is only open for dinner and which is $34.99)
Plaza 777 Weekend Brunch Buffet -- $9.99 w-card Food was good...No wait....Just realize the Plaza is one of the older casinos and not in a brand new building...The buffet area is appropriately called "Stuffed"...
Best Bargain
Green Valley Ranch (pricier than most, but very good quality); it’s particularly good for week-end brunchBally's Sterling Brunch - on Sundays the menu contains items such as champagne, sturgeon caviar, lobster, and freshly prepared sushi, along with the standards, such as omelets and beef tenderloin Orleans - although it has slipped a little recently Palace Station and Boulder Station - a little behind the others, but in general, if a casino has Station in its name its buffet will be pretty good
Vegas Club (Lucky 7’s): 7.77 all day (Brunch 6AM-4PM, Dinner 4PM-10PM)
Terrible’s: Theme Nights, varied menu themes nightly 9.99 every night except Seafood Night (Thu) 14.99 (4PM-9PM)
