My suggestion would be to avoid the buffets.  Eat at restaurants where you will not be tempted to overeat.  If you must do a buffet, most have shrimp and some form of fish on them.  I would take a small amount of fish and if you still have some room, add a veggie.

Have fun in Vegas.  I love that town!

See? now I am not opposed to buffets - usually TONS of protein and veggie choices. Just take a small amount... be smart... you can ALWAYS go back up for another few bites if you want more. Just remember - high protein - add a few bites of veggies if you have room. My opinion has always been that it's not important how much you spent on "just a litte bit" of food, if you had enough, then it was worth your money!! Lose that "buffet = eat all you can cram in" mindset! 

Have a blast!!!!!

I love buffets because I get to have more variety! Seafood, eggs, beans, fruits, soups, just keep going back and pick like you are at a grocery store picking what you require! LOL

Protein drinks and slots a good mix :)  Have fun!!  Take some protein bars for your purse for emergencies.  While in Vegas stick to the seafood... lots of shrimp mmmmm...:)

I am going  to vegas in two weeks.  Although, my sis lives there,so I mainly go for the visit.  As soon as she picks me up from the airport, I am having her stop at Walmart so I can get some EAS drinks and some pure protein bars.  I am sure we will go to at least one buffet.... but I know I will make wise choices and I always know when to stop.  ****rtainly don't want to get sick on vacation)!!
Have a great trip!!
