| - Next to the M Studio B, I would rank the Rio's Carnival World buffet as the 2nd best buffets in Vegas under $30. I've been coming here for several decades and the food has always been excellent. They were first in Vegas to utilize the concept of food "stations," individual themed areas that diners could pick and choose from as opposed to one long buffet line starting with salads and ending with the desserts. Their buffets has one of the best and diverse selections of food from around the world. The different stations include seafood, Mexican, Brazilian, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese and American food.
If you plan on doing any of the buffets in Vegas, especially Rio's Carnival World buffet, then I suggest doing 24 hour Buffet of Buffets pass for $45 and begin your tour here for dinner. Try to start it after 7pm or 8pm so you can have dinner twice (Best Tip!!). Definitely a good deal and worth it. For guest staying at the Rio, they have a 24-hr meal ticket for around $40 with discount.
Each time I come here I feel like I'm attending an event. The place is so huge and long. They have the largest selection and variety of food choices (more than 300 dishes prepared fresh daily). One can get lost in this Bermuda Triangle of food heaven. All my favorite food indulgence in one place like sushi, shrimp, oysters, baked salmon, snow crab with drawn butter and cocktail sauce. The carving station with pork roast, roast beef, prime rib, turkey and ham is awesome. The prime rib is succulent, juicy and deliciously seasoned. Get me a cup of au jus and I'm camping here for a while. The Asian stations are pretty amazing as well. The roast duck, crispy pork belly, steam BBQ pork bun and Korean BBQ short rib are excellent. They even have a Vietnamese Pho noodle stations which is pretty cool. Great option from traditional soups.
When it comes to desserts, the Rio's Carnival World does a pretty awesome job satisyfing it's customer sweet tooth and their guilty dessert pleasures. They have a large spread of homemade pies, cakes, fruit tart and pastries, and 10 gelato flavors of ice cream, all made from scratch. After devouring endless food course, I'm feeling pretty glutton by now. But one thing that I can't resist is their tiramisu and mango gelato. The smooth, creamy sweet texture and decadent taste is so satisfyingly good. It's a definite must try dessert and a great way to end your food indulgence adventure.
Service is pretty decent. Our server was able to get all our drink orders and remove our finished plates promptly.
Cons - Make sure to get here before 30-45 minutes before the lunch and dinner rush to avoid the long lines. Diamond Total Rewards members and VIP players - no waiting in line. Ultimate fast pass!!
Overall - 4 star. Number one choice for Buffet of Buffets and I will definitely be back. I just need to lose 10lbs extra weight before I come back. Someone told me walking was supposed to be good for you. I guess walking around the buffet stations doesn't count...hahaha!
