Once a staple of Reno’s dining scene, all but two of the city’s casino buffets remain closed with no immediate plans to reopen despite the easing of COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions.
The future is uncertain for what were once sprawling arrays of serve-yourself decadence: the Peppermill’s Island Buffet, the Sparks Nugget’s Rotisserie Buffet, the buffets at the Eldorado, Rail City and Boomtown — all still closed, the curtains drawn, the chairs stacked.
None of the casino representatives the RGJ spoke to said explicitly that these buffets had shuttered for good, but they said nothing of concrete plans to reopen in the near future.
