How Much Food Does Vegas' Best Buffet Serve Every Day? This Much...

You can have pretty much anything (steak, sushi, breakfast, etc.) at some pretty awesome restaurants in Las Vegas, but a visit to Sin City isn’t complete without a trip to the buffet line. Especially the one at Caesars Palace, where a team of eight chefs at Bacchanal Buffet puts together a collection of about 500 dishes a day, and instead of dumping as much food as possible onto your plate cafeteria-style, the idea is to serve you an endless amount of smaller, but sweeter than usual, eats.  They totally pull it off, but it takes a shton of food. Here’s a look at what Bacchanal Buffet goes through in just one… single… day.

… or 120 times the amount of shrimp that the average American eats in a year
 

… and if each piece is served with a small cup of tea, that adds up to about
500 gallons
 

… or the same amount of kernels on the largest ear of corn
 

… and you probably need just 125 lambs to make that happen

… or enough to fill 167 cans of SpaghettiOs
 

… which would need to come from at least 50 cows
 

… and if each one is 1in tall, you could stack ‘em 150ft tall (or as high as the Statue of Liberty replica at the New York-New York resort)
 

… and lucky you, since they are king crabs, you get a whopping 1,077 pounds of actual meat

… which would take the average chicken about 4.8 years to lay
 

… which, sadly, is almost 30 pounds less than the largest-ever wild Alaskan king salmon weighed
 

… or 154 cans of plain ol’ regular tuna
 

… or the same weight as an average 8-year-old child, or 164 pounds less than Cam Neely who played Sea Bass in Dumb and Dumber
 

… or enough to supply hash browns for 640 Big Breakfast meals at McDonald’s

… made with 6,273 grams of sugar
 

… or roughly 10 cows worth (hopefully the same ones as the above mentioned ribs).
 

… the hens laying all those aforementioned eggs have it way better than these 120 birds
 

… which you’re getting by chopping down 25 peach trees
 

… which is about the same amount of beef in 500 Burger King Whoppers

… we're pretty sure the pastry chef ate the 500th piece
 

… or about 13 individual watermelons
 

… or the same weight as about 12 bicycles
 

… which contains 63,560 times the recommended intake of zinc for the average person each day

… made from 30 gallons of milk
 

… or enough to feed about 210 people in a Louisiana crawfish boil
 

… which adds up to 953,633 calories
 

… which is likely made from 28 oranges
 

… or the same weight of the woman who broke a world record for eating three 72oz steaks in one sitting

… which adds up to 56 ducks

… or enough to fill the average American bathtub

… which breaks down to about 40 racks of baby back ribs

… or nearly enough to fill ten 16oz bottles
