| - What's the first things you think of when you talk about Vegas? For most it's gambling, drinking all night, Elvis, and all you can eat buffets. Now there used to be a day when you could come to Vegas, pay $30 for a hotel room, and $6 for the buffet. In which you gorged yourself to the point that you wouldn't want to eat for the rest of the day. The concept of this was so that you could spend less money on the food and lodging and more on the gambling.
But those days are gone....
The buffet will cost about $25 a person but I'm told that if you look around there are ways to get two-fers and discounts. The value is pretty decent, though and when you walk inside you'll see it. The buffet itself is as long as a football field. Seriously, it's that massive from end-to-end. And the menu ranges from your typical buffet affair (prime rib, salad, etc) to even a sushi bar and wood-fired pizza. What also makes this buffet a bit different is that there is an alcohol bar that, if you pay attention will offer $1 drinks every half hour or so.
The quality of the food is good but I'd avoid getting there at the end of one meal session and the turnover of another if you want the freshest stuff. Some things are constant, but the menu items do change between meals so they usually stop refilling about 30 minutes before the change.
The service was really good. Our drink server, despite being very busy, was attentive. My beverage was never empty and when I shifted from a soft drink to coffee (as I do for dessert), she didn't grumble one bit. The best part, though, was at one visit I had arrived late. At other buffets, they'll warn you that you only have a few minutes and then kick you out (or charge you the higher meal price). My server let me know of the change but despite me paying for breakfast, I was allowed to stay through to lunch.
The Carnival World Buffet is an amazing buffet and one of the best on the strip. A must when you visit and come with a hearty appetite. But make sure you can dedicate a couple hours to eating or you won't be able to experience fully.
Four Stars based on:
Awesome selection

Decent quality
If the regular price had been less, this would have been Five Stars.
