I enjoyed the breakfast buffet at Harrah's Hotel Casino in South Lake Tahoe two weeks ago at $10.99 (lunch was $11.99, and dinner $18.99).

For breakfast they have an omelette station, pancakes, thick french toast, an assortment of fresh fruit (pineapple, cantaloupe, strawberries), yogurt, bacon/sausage, pastries, sliced potatoes, and more items than one could possibly eat at one sitting. They did have their desserts out, which Harrah's has always done well in the 42 years I've been going up there, and I had chocolate macadamia nut pie which was very good. You also get unlimited beverages (I had milk and OJ).

Should mention this is on the 18th floor of the casino/hotel with an outstanding view of Lake Tahoe. I always try to have one meal there, as it is a family tradition.
