Toucan Charlie's Buffet & Grille at Atlantis Reno takes second place
While the buffet wasn't invented in Nevada – it has its roots in France and Sweden who later brought the concept to the U.S. during the 1939 World's Fair in the form of a "smorgasbord" – the casinos of the Silver State certainly perfected the art of all-you-can-eat. El Rancho Vegas, the first resort on The Strip, was also the first to offer their guests a buffet; the Buckaroo Buffet began as a rather simple assortment of cold cuts and a few hot dishes designed to keep late night gamblers happy but would go on to launch a now ubiquitous dining concept.
