Monte Carlo is returning a touch of class to their buffet, if in name only. The Monte Carlo Buffet changed its name to Big Belly Buffet in June of last year following a remodel. Quietly, the resort has switched the name back to The Buffet and the company Website has already registered the changeover. The name contains upper case letters unlike, the buffet, its lowercase neighbor at Aria.
The change comes amidst construction progress on new restaurants being added to The Buffet's side of the resort and first reported by Eater Vegas.
