| - We have been coming here since 1994. At one time, this was the best valued buffet in Las Vegas. Over the years, the price have gone up, but the food has remained the same. With all the buffet choices in Las Vegas now, I'd have to say that this buffet is good if you are in the area.
My wife and I decided to give it another try for brunch on Saturday only because we had relatives at the Rio. The buffet was very empty...actually thought it was closed. We checked it out and said that we'd give it a try again.
Hostess greeted us quickly. $31 and some change each...then seated promptly. Our server, Robert, greeted us quickly and took our drink order. He was very attentive, and quick with our requests. At one point, he even got my wife a pancake. For over 20 years, that has NEVER happened. Now that was service.
Of course, pretty big selections...Chinese, Mexican, Made To Order Soup, MTO Pancakes, Breakfast Items, Japanese, Italian, Carving Station, BBQ, Desserts, and Bar. They also have a self service drink station now.
This visit we had the prime rib, ham, pizza, sushi, Pho, BBQ, Chinese, and desserts. Also a little from the breakfast area. To our surprise, very tasty, good temperature food. Our last few visits for dinner have been meh. So much so, that we have not been back for a long time. Value vs food, for me, is a little pricey. However, if you compare to the prices on the Strip then it's middle of the road. If you go on the locals discount or find one available, I'd say good value for what you get.
Price kept me for giving it the 5th star, but service from Robert made it a solid 4.
