Hazel M. Wilson Dining Commons is UNLV’s all-you-care-to-eat campus dining hall, offering a rotating selection across eight food stations. Depending on the meal period, diners can find made-to-order omelets, freshly baked pizza, grilled favorites, pasta, international specialties, sandwiches, soups, desserts, and a salad bar with more than 50 toppings. Soft drinks, lemonade, and other self-service beverages complement the buffet.
Because the menu changes frequently, there is no fixed bestseller or chef’s recommendation list. Instead, made-to-order omelets, pizza, pasta, grill selections, and themed meals such as steak dinners regularly serve as highlights. Current door prices are $11.50 for breakfast, $12 for lunch, and $12.50 for dinner, giving diners strong value through unlimited variety and repeat servings.
The rotating menu emphasizes fresh preparation, vegetables, grains, proteins, salads, and globally inspired flavors. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are regularly available, while the dedicated True Balance station provides allergen-friendly meals designed for guests avoiding common allergens. The extensive salad bar also makes it easy to build lighter, nutrient-focused plates.
The Dining Commons serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner on weekdays, with brunch and dinner on weekends. It works especially well for students, visitors, families, and groups, although there is no dedicated children’s menu.
