| - I've been waiting for years to go to this place (last attempt they were closed for renovations) so it pains me to give it 3 stars but I guess it just didn't live up to my lofty expectations.
The good:
- crab claws, these were delcious, they tasted fresh, not salty, we went for the cold ones, not the hot ones. They were so good that i had quite a few and maybe missed on a few of the other items in the buffet i probably should've tried!
- shrimp, pretty good, similar to the majority of the buffets in vegas.
- sushi/sashimi station, the rolls were nothing special, but i wasn't expecting much. The sashimi was surprisingly good considering the buffet format, i suspect because it's so popular they cut it and turn it over quite quickly.
- gelato, tried two flavours, tasted very good!
The bad:
- the oysters...they looked sick! they looked like they'd been sitting out there for hours and i feared trying even one would make me sick.
- price! $40 is too much for this buffet, for good crab legs i could definitely find something on the strip for $10 or more cheaper.
- calamari, not sure how they found squid so small, these were very tiny and not very good.
- cheesecake bottom layer was his sicky sweet syrup that ruined the flavour of the cheesecake.
If you're looking to shell out $40 on a buffet I think the Wynn is a better option, and if you're looking to save a few bucks try out the regular rio (non-seafood) buffet. When we walked by on our way to the half-empty seafood buffet there was a HUGE lineup...
