| - While I wouldn't say it was the best Valentine's dinner ever, it certainly was the most entertaining with five of my friends. Love was undeniably in the air as there were at least three newly wed couples and accompanying wedding parties scarfing down crab with their little bibs on. And that same love in the air gave me superhuman strength to consume more food than I've ever eaten in one sitting, I think. Nothing comes between me and food. Not a thing.
Our motto for the meal was "let's eat crab until we shit GREEN!" If you really want to know, it never happened, but damn, even I was surprised. I ate, ate and ate, until my chest felt heavy and I struggled to breathe.
But really, this a fun buffet for the sometimes necessary cheesy VEGAS careless indulgence/ridiculous consumption binge where you can pig out on not only seafood (chilled and steamed crab legs, mini lobster tails, shrimp cocktail, crawfish, clams, paella, etc.), but also dim sum, Italian-American and Chinese-American dishes, sushi, carved meats and normal buffet faire such as salad, rolls, soup, pasta, steamed veggies and dessert. I think we cleared out 8 plates of crab legs and a plate of shrimp cocktail each individually, so you know you'll get your moneys worth if you have an appetite cooked up. Honestly, I'm sure it could be missed since there are so many other buffet options in Vegas, however the Rio is kind of corny and fun with the Chippendales Show (tempting) right upstairs and the regular Mardi Gras float shows around the casino.
