| - I was set on trying the buffet at the Wynn, but I couldn't pass up a deal for the Carnival World Buffet. Tix4Tonight offered the Carnival World Buffet at the Rio for $12.95, which is over 50% off the regular price for the dinner service. We went ahead and made plans for the dinner buffet and headed to the Rio.
The buffet wasn't too difficult to find within the Rio Resort and a steady line greeted us. I neglected to remember that most buffets have long lines of customers waiting to get in, but luckily we only waited about 30-45 minutes on this particular Saturday night. Once reaching the register, we paid the price as promised by Tix4Tonight. The price seemed like a bargain, especially for a Las Vegas buffet.
A hostess walked us over to our table and let us loose on their food offerings. I eye fucked their selection and browsed before going wild on their food. The buffet name does its justice as the selection has everything you might imagine including: Asian, Mexican, American, Italian, and Seafood. I made the mistake of mixing all kinds of food, which didn't agree with my stomach. Nevertheless, the food selection was impressive and looked great.
I went ahead and tried their Italian selection first and the pasta was good, but not great. The pasta seemed overcooked and the sauce was lacking flavor. Next up, I tried the Mexican and had some fajitas, rice and beans, tamales, and tortillas. The Mexican was average, yet much better than the Italian. The fajitas had a great flavor and were nicely tendered and were nicely paired with the grilled onions and tortillas. I wanted to try a few more things before giving up. I went ahead and tried their BBQ ribs and was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful and tasteful they were.
Although my dress shirt buttons were on the verge of popping, I went ahead and had my way with their desserts. The desert selection was just as impressive as their food with lots to choose from. I was set on trying their gelato and eclairs. The gelato was as delicious as it looked and is a must-try for gelato fans. The eclairs were just as equally delicious and were a great way to end the food binge.
The selection and quality of food at Carnival World Buffet was average at best. The selection is impressively large, but the food wasn't what I hoped for. The food quality was average and didn't impress me much. However, given the price I paid, $12.95, I can't complain much. If you're trying to save a few dollars, the Carnival World Buffet is a good bet.
