I bought the 24 hour buffet before ... regretted buying it ... but would do it again (if that makes sense) !
Quote:
Caesars Palace: Lago Buffet
Harrah's: Flavors Buffet
Imperial Palace: Emperor's Buffet
Paris Las Vegas: Le Village Buffet
Planet Hollywood: Spice Market Buffet
Flamingo: Paradise Garden Buffet
Rio: Carnival World Buffet
Rio: Village Seafood Buffet - available for $15 more per person
You can just ask to buy the pass when you get into the any of the listed participating buffets. (They are all owned by the same company) So Wynn/Bellagio are not included.

Buy the pass when you go to any of the buffets, remember the pass expires EXACTLY 24 hours from the minute you buy it. So if you purchased it at 7:35pm, go line-up for dinner the next day by 6:30pm. I haven't personally experienced this but I've heard that they are pretty strict on the pass and will deny you entry if your pass is expired. So don't start lining up for the next day buffet at 7:30pm cuz when you get to the entrance it will be closer to 8pm (or later) and they could possibly not let you in which would suck ass.

This was my plan of attack:
8:00pm - Drive out (or take the shuttle from Harrah) to Rio because it's supposed to be the LARGEST buffet in America. The Seafood Buffet is DIFFERENT from the World Buffet even though they are in the same hotel. I opted to try the World one to see how big the big is lol ... (and DAMN it was huge, literally every cuisine under the sun was available there) ... you could get a bowl of pho, pizza, sushi, prime rib, kebabs, wonton noodle, etc ... I was impressed lol ... stuffed myself like a Thanksgiving turkey.
Next Day:
12:00pm - Plan was to get up early in the morning for breakfast but... ya that didn't happen lol ... so went for lunch at Harrah's, very average, nothing special. Basically your standard buffet, quality and selection were regular and sorta boring.
3:30pm - Decided to go for an afternoon buffet snack at Paris cuz I heard they had a good dessert station. I loosened the belt and went for lunch #2! ... chose a few things from around the buffet... a slight upgrade on Harrah but nothing to write home about. They did have a decent selection of desserts and a made-on-the-spot crepe station loaded with fruits and cream.
7:00pm - Went to Spice Market because reviews say this is the best buffet in the 24 hour package, one of the better ones in Vegas overall... got in around 7:40 and sat around for a bit cuz I was still full from my "afternoon snack" haha ... had a few drinks, then started to beast out around 8:15pm. Funny note, I actually asked the concierge at Caesar's hotel and he said "dude, the buffet here... *shakes head* ... go to PH, you didn't hear it from me" ... lol ... but since renovations they stepped up their game.

Now my advice from an experienced buffet master haha ...
I would definitely go PH for lunch instead of Harrah's and probably skip Paris unless you can't resist yourself and just eat a small crepe (but not worth the time to line-up IMO)
The new Buchanel Buffet at Caesars (Note: you have to pay an extra $15 for the new and improved Caesar's Buffet but it's worth it) so go there for your 2nd dinner.

Even if you only manage to just hit up Rio and PH, you would have made your money's worth because each buffet will be over $25 individually and you paid $50 for the pass.
