Vegas Buffet Challenge: Running a half marathon after Vegas' Best Italian Buffet at Buddy V's

- It's time for Vegas again and this time I'm participating in the 1/2 Marathon event that takes place on the Vegas Strip. My friend noticed I was getting a little round lately and suggested the Vegas marathon to off set things. How could I turn down an excuse to go to Vegas!
But before the run, we needed to fuel up and I can't think of a better way to get our nutrition than at a buffet! Buddy V's Ristorante at the Venetian offers an incredible Sunday Italian Brunch Buffet and I've always wanted to go but have put this off as I was expecting a lot of carbs. However, with the run, this would be the perfect opportunity. And I was also wrong about too many carbs at this buffet! Along with the amazing traditional pizzas (made to perfection by the way) and pastas, there were seafood, perfectly grilled steaks, and more. If you are in Vegas and manage to make a visit, make sure to get many slices that pepper crusted striploin from Orgo. So tender one can cut it with a butter knife. Great experience and don't forget about the desserts with the panna cottas, cannolis and more!

Thanks for the shoutout, Tim! Glad you enjoyed the Saimin. And, congrats on completing the 1/2 Marathon!
Thank you so much for all the great places and recommendations for Vegas 🙏😀. I have yet to try their oxtails soup…can never make it during the time
No 1/2 marathons for us ? hey ! that's crazy Timbo! regards from Australia.
@@Bens_Tunes thank you so much and just getting ready to visit some family in Australia. Looking forward to being in the land down under.🙂
@@TimLeeLetsGo Hi there! if you are looking at Australia? we are in Mildura top of the Victorian State. Home to grapes and oranges started originally by two Canadian brothers.
Its to be good to you running marathon regard indonesia thanks for your vlog travelling n try another food iys nice
Tim is such a bright ray of Canadian sunshine in this otherwise over cast world! He is such a nice guy!!❤❤
Yes, I’m Canadian here😉
@Lordrobert Yes and let's hope he's not gay! Lol
Yes very kind and gracious
Yes Tim u were starting to b a bit plump! As well you look like you're losing some hair in front there! Lol! Just keeping it real!@@TimLeeLetsGo
Tim, really appreciate your transparency in giving people credit for what they do and that they covered your bill.
Other food and travel and slot channels never reveal the stuff that the casinos provide.
Great job doing a buffet and a half marathon in the same day! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much. It was a great experience on both counts 😃
Love the video, Tim you are the most polite person on CZcams, we love that you are so respectful to the people that put food together for us at the buffets, take care.
Sheesh, Tim. You are obviously an experienced runner. You are my HERO!
Hello from a fellow Canadian in Vegas! I found where I'm gonna start my birthday. This looks TOO good. Thank you!!!
Happy birthday to you! And what a nice way to kick off the celebrations… Nothing like a great meal in Vegas😋
I missed seeing your Vegas videos - glad you came back!
Really proud of you! So much hard work. Thanks for sharing this with us. You deserve a good rest and a special food treat.🎉
Everything looks great and good and good luck with the run. God bless always 😊🙏
Thank you so much, I think the Buffet actually helped with the run😀
You finished the marathon, congratulations Tim!! 🎉 That first plate was a great starter. 😊
It was a nice light start😋
Congrats on the half marathon! 🎉 this buffet looked superb as well!
Thank you so much! I didn't know if the buffet health or hindered the half marathon
Ah Tim, you look great for a man in his 30's. You reached the finish line and that is awesome. Stay blessed and thank you for another great video.
I think he’s in his 40s
😃…give or take a decade or two 😆
He doesn't look a day over 65.😂
Ah Tim is the Man no matter how young he is
@@pmorales3523 Amazing how much free time Tim and Bill and Lisa have from their full time jobs? What do they work about 20 hours a month, if that?
Congrats on your 1/2 marathon! I don't know how you were able to do that after a buffet! Way to go!
I’m still not certain if it was a wise move or an unwise one😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo as long as you were able to finish without getting sick, it's all good!
Tim, Congrats for finishing the half marathon. Hope you weren't too exhausted and felt okay after that heavy buffet. Take care & God bless.
It's not easy finding an Italian buffet here in L.A. Loved this. And Tim got his fatty cut!
Oh my goodness 😍 that buffet looks so good 🥰🤤😋!
Considering that it’s on the strip, it’s good value, and very good food
This puzzles me. You ate all that food and then ran 13 miles? Very impressive.
I grew up watching Buddy's show "cake boss", him having a restaurant and it not being filled to the brim with decorative, fondant covered rice crispy treat monstrosities... or "cakes" is so wild and expectation shattering 😅
I must say, that would’ve added a nice touch to the restaurant😉
bless your soul. consuming that pre-run is legend material
n orleans food was best
I'm glad you put a bit of your run at the end. You're such a good sport!!
Also visited Main Street Cafe from Bill and Lisa. It's a great late night eats.
Brave of you for doing a buffet and marathon in the same day 😮😊
I ate a bowl of fruit for breakfast, 2 apple juices, and then half a milky way bar around 1pm with some water. How you ate all those delicious things a few hours before the race is amazing! I guess its true every runner knows whats best for themselves with their pre-race regimen! Well done!
Tim you have a kind demeanor much success to you sir
Great looking food...congrats you did well on the 1/2 marathon...safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗❤
Thank YOU, Tim. Of all your buffet videos I have watched, this is one of the top 5. It's almost worth a trip to Las Vegas just for Buddy V's.
It’s a fantastic brunch spread! Exactly what you need on a week and morning
I completed a number of half marathons and 10k runs when I was much younger. I am a big man , and so whilst very fit at the time, ran pretty slowly. They nearly killed me. So, Kudos to you, Tim for taking part. You're still the most polite and courteous man on YT in my opinion.
Likewise as well, I can't run very fast, but can continue on for some time. Also kudos to you for the past runs! Are you going to revive the runs?
@@TimLeeLetsGo Thank you. I will look back with pride on past achievements, but look for something new to keep me fit! Nice way of saying no to more running. The joints are past it!
The beginning,
"I could use a Canoli right about now." 😂
I’m of Italian/Sicilian heritage and my mouth was watering watching you enjoy this buffet. You will have to return when you aren’t scheduled to run a half marathon so we can experience a taste of even more. By the way, a good Italian always dunks their cookies. 😂🌹👍🏻
Thank you so much! Did the food at Buddy V’s do justice?
@@TimLeeLetsGo … Yes, it did. Of course some foods aren’t at their most satisfying when served in a buffet setting, but most looked delectable and seemed to satisfy your palate.
I also enjoy watching Bill and Lisa. You guys make great videos
OMG!🎉🎉congrats on the half marathon run. lol😂, “ i can use a cannoli now.” you are so funny.
Las Vegas strip is one of my fav place for food and shows. great vid.
I would love to see you collab with Danny the Medic. He lives in LV too!
Thanks for sharing the great marathon run and good eats.🎉🎉😊
Hi Tim, glad you got to Vegas again...that pasta was orecchiette ( little ears)....🎉🎉🎉 wow..a half marathon 🏃 good for you ❤❤❤ thanks again for always bringing us along ❤
I'm impressed! All that food and then running. Did look so good I can see why you kept trying dishes. The broccoli, sausage and orecchiette is one of my favorite things to make. I use shell pasta as I cannot get orecchiette here. Hello from a very wet Oregon.
Never been to Buddy V's(just the Bakery)... so many Restaurants to try in Vegas. After the buffet I would have been done before The Wynn from Venetian never mind a half marathon. Congratulations on the run Tim.
It was kind of nice to see the strip that night on the run. Really have an appreciation for how long the strip is.😃
According to Google, you should eat 3-4 hours before running 13 miles. Lots of carbs in Italian food. Glad you filled yourself up before your run. Bravo!
Dude there's always after the race for the buffet... haha
That’s impressive half a marathon . The chicken parm looks good .
Man I got addicted to your channel greetings from Brazil
Warmest greetings from Vancouver! Thank you so much🙂
that place looked great made me hungry and I just finished eating. I'd like to visit that place but not run afterwards 😁
I really enjoyed all your Buffets Videos . Everything looks delicious at Buddy Valastro Italian restaurant. God bless you 🙏
.
He does throw a good buffet 😋
Quick Story;
Buddy V was in town, many moons ago. Driving his Yellow Corvette recklessly, got pulled over for DUI. The cuffs go on and he barkes at the cops,
"Heyyyyyyyy, Don't you know who I AM?!?!?"
😂
And then the cop says, "Now you're going to find out who I am," lol
I remember that story in the news, I was gonna post the same as you but you saved me the work. Also why I will not go to this buffet - many other good places owned by better people in town
It was good to see you today! We were the people who bumped into you at Foodland 😂 I hope you go to the Honolulu Festival today! 🥰💜
A fan, Lauren
Thank you Lauren. It was a pleasure to meet you all and thank you so much for saying hi!
Hi Tim 👋👋👋
Greetings from Greenwich London ⚓️⛵️
Cheers 🦐🦀🦞😋👍✅
Nice buffet. Will add it to my Vegas list. Great run, good for you. Lots of fun. Thanks Tim, nice video.
It’s quite reasonably priced for a brunch, especially with Vegas strip prices🙂
Looking 😍good Tim love your vids and everything you do!
Thank you so much for your kind comment🙏
Good on you
For doing the run
Thank you kindly🙏
I’m watching this two and a half days into a three day fast I have to do before a medical procedure. You’re not torturing me Tim .Honest! It actually makes me feel good to watch you eat
Thank you so much and best wishes to you!
Excellent vid as usual! Tim the Italian donuts appear to be Zeppols. Tks for all your time and effort!
Thank you for that, the zeppolis were like little clouds 😋
Every time I watch your videos I’m always hungry Tim, thanks for sharing 🥰❤️
Thank you so much and hope you get a chance to travel and try some interesting places whether far or local
😊I absolutely love how personable you are 👍
Hey Tim! Happy Sunday!!
Good job, Tim! We are proud of you. I think I need to start doing more exercise, too!
coffee lox cream cheez and bread is the best
and eggs and onions and potatotes i can make that
Yayyy love you vegas videos !!! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much! I really love to visit Vegas😀
Hi yes you run after the buffet, right to digest better the food.Tell me if you did eat at Golden steer Steak. it amazing place the bigest lobster taill and husge alaskan King crab and the best steak rib , it si worth it a bit $$$$ worth it
You have an infectious smile 😊
🙏
@LetsGoTimLee is back again. Another great video sir! 😋
I do wish to see all the buffet....🤠
Yess
Coca Cola needs to sponsor you, too, Tim. You're just advertising for them for free, but they haven't yet seen the great reviews and contents you've shown on your channel. Great video here as always!
I love your shows your the best I wish I could eat with you one day I’m in Las Vegas let me know when your here
Light still means "two of everything." lol
I know😂. It’s a case of one for me and one for filming.😉
Looks like an amazing buffet! Thank you for taking us along with you! And yes, very brave going in to a yummy buffet with a 1/2 marathon scheduled on the same day!
There were always second thoughts and concerns while eating😉
The staff look equally as cringed out by Tim calling them by name, acting like they're best buddies! You can see them thinking "Do I know him or is he "special" 😂
This was awesome. A lot of great food. I'd be having a nap after. Cheers, Tim and God Bless! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🇨🇦
There was certainly a bit of a nap afterwards😉
Ahhh, Tim, you are so funny. Guess this is how you keep slim after all those buffets😂😂😂
Tim, travel channel needs to bring you aboard!
I don't know how you could run after all that beautiful looking food, I would have needed a bed after being delivered to it on a stretcher. 😂 Wow fantastic thank you.
I was quite concerned as well until I saw other runners doing the same thing😉
Thank you for taking us with you! Great review, Tim!
Thank you so much🙏
Nice job soldiering through the run! How long was the wait for the buffet?
Whooooooooooooooooaaaa super Delish!!!!❤
It was a nice way to spend a Sunday brunch😋
Very enjoyable the food and your personality.
Amazing Buffet ❤
I was pleasantly surprised. Very good quality.
OMG TIM!!! I am AMAZED you finished the run after all that food, you must have a strong constitution!! The most you are supposed to consume is a SMALL bowl of oatmeal 4 hours before!! I completed the Manitoba Marathon when I was 18 (26 miles) and that was incredibly tough...
That’s amazing! Are you from Manitoba? And would you do another marathon again?
I grew up in Winnipeg and graduated at 17 from High School did that Marathon when I was 18 and then joined the Army. I got shrapnel in my leg fighting in Kosovo so my running days are over, just weight-training these days, 3 days a week done in circuit-training fashion for cardio benefit as well (you end up sweating like crazy as it is basically non-stop)...
And RIO am sure you did eat at this brezilian steak house in your hometown Vancouver Canada
Tim, you can make castor oil taste good! Congrats on the run!!
…just not bananas 😉. Thank you so much 🙏
Damn it, he's gonna read the menu side way like the rest of us.
Lmao! I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen you volunteering to have salad. Good choice by the way!
Really impressed with their salads... looks great! :-P
Enjoyed this video. I ate at this buffet about a month ago. It is my favorite. The selection may be small but the quality is unmatched. A couple of things. I ate every one of the desserts and you really missed out by not trying the cheesecake. I told my wife if I had it to over again I would skip every other dessert and just eat 3 or 4 of the cheesecakes. Also the French Toast off of the ordering menu was heavenly.
Tim, you did good, I didn't think you were going to finish the race. Great job!
It was strong..kinda like a wasabi, but yellow
:) GO Tim! WELL DONE and Congrats on race! Daughter was there too :) ALL the BEST and Cheers! Saimin for me :)
What a yummy buffet, I love Italian food
Hi Tim, please tell me how you filmed at the table; was someone else doing so? It was really an exceptional job, thx!😊
So proud of you Tim, way to go
Thank you so much🙏
Tim…..Can you please get more than two of anything? LOL!!!! Can you please explain your logic? Again, another awesome Vlog! Keep the great content coming! We love it!!!!!❤🎉
lol.. I should explain that. When I’m filming, I always take the second one as a back up.😂
Tim,
Great video
Cheers.
I don’t like bananas too, but everything made by banana actually tastes better than have the banana alone ❤
Everything looked great Tim, except the tomato soup - not a fan. The shrimp, various meats, potatoes, pastas, and pizzas all had my stomach growling - very yummy.
That's, awesome Tim👏👏👏👏!
Thank you so much 🙏
Tim, that was some strong coffee. I wouldn’t be able to run after having it without passing out from all the caffeine.
The caffeine gave a much-needed joast 😆 I wasn't sure if the buffet helped or hindered the run
Hey Tim! It was so great meeting you tonight! My friend and I are excited for your down under videos! :)
Thank you so much and it was great speaking with you both. On my way back, I ended up in a place called alley, and then to the Chinatown area. Sydney appears to have the best Chinatown in the world
@@TimLeeLetsGoso many good food places near Chinatown! if you have a chance I’d recommend Gumshara Ramen for a very thick ramen broth that a lot of people here love! We recommended Bay Nine for omakase but if you’re able to get a booking at Kuon theirs is excellent too! If you’re around Wynyard, I love Totti’s for their woodfire bread, have it with burrata and tomatoes and any other sides! I also love Ragazzi as well as their sister shop, Fabbrica Pasta shop, for their pasta! If you like Vietnamese food you have to travel out to Cabramatta (where I am) or Bankstown! I can talk about food all day, I love going to places to try new food 😂 We don’t have Michelin stars here but we do chefs hats instead, almost any of the chef hats places will be amazing. My top pick as I said yesterday is definitely Lumi, the one that does fusion Italian and Japanese :)
Awesome video thanks for sharing..
Thank you so much🙏
How can you run 13 miles without any training? You know, build your endurance up before running a half of a marathon. My question is strictly one of curiosity. When I was in my early 20s and in really good shape, there is no way that I could have run 13 miles non-stop. I used to run 3 to 4 miles per day but even then, 13 miles would have been out of the question. Congrats on the accomplishment.
Yummy
😋
Hi Tim, I hope you enjoy the buffet!🎉
Thank you so much and yes, really enjoyed the brunch buffet😋
Tim❤
Well done!!! ❤😊
Hi Tim Lee. Market place. One of my favorite eateries in vegas. My friend. Her husband is a card dealer in that casino. I love there ox tails and rice.
Thank you so much and it’s definitely my favourite too. I always miss the chance to have their oxtail stew… Was never around there that late
wow, my hero! Tim, didn't know you're a runner!
I wouldn’t say I’m a runner… Just trying😉
