| - This is just your standard, run of the mill buffet. My friends and I got a discount from the Tix4Tonight booth, so we got to go at around $22 on 2/10/13. There are plenty of options for food, however, food options do not equal food quality. The atmosphere is pretty drab, and nothing too big stands out in a positive way other than a cool fire place over the carving station area. I will say the dessert area is pretty good, but almost all the other food is just dry or flavorless. This was the first and only buffet me and my friends went to on our Vegas trip. I would say here, you get what you pay for, so it might have been worth it to pay a little more for a nicer buffet somewhere on the strip at a nicer hotel. Overall, I was not impressed at all by anything at the Carnival World Buffet, but rather disappointed.
PROS
*Food Options - They pretty much have every type of cuisine here, from carving stations, to Seafood, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Salads, Desserts, etc. Now the quality of the food is a whole different story.
*Price - If you get your meal through the Tix4Tonight booth, you can get the buffet for dinner down to $22, which for Las Vegas or anywhere in general is not a bad price for dinner.
CONS
*Food Quality - While I've certainly had worse food at a buffet, I've had much better too. The food here
*Location - The only reason we went here is because we were going to see Penn & Teller that night at the Rio, so we said, why not eat here. So if you have to go to the Rio and eat there, I'd try another place seeing it is off the strip in the isolated Rio.
*Atmosphere - It seems to be a pretty dated and worn out place for me. The drop down ceilings make the place look cheap and drab, and the lighting doesn't look romantic or intimate, but makes me feel like they just can't afford good lights.
