Description: Rio Hotel Carnival World Buffet website
This was the first place we ate in Vegas, and I originally thought it was just okay, but after eating at other places, I would never eat here again; there are too many other REALLY GREAT options. Rio buffet was $13.95 each for breakfast—a bit pricey, I think. We fit in one trip for breakfast before they switched the food over to lunch at 11am. The buffet snaked around the entire room; standing in the middle, you couldn't even see where it ended. The entire thing had different foods; it wasn't just the same stuff, mirrored on different sides of the room.
For breakfast, I tried bacon, mini Belgian waffles, and mini pancakes. The waffles and pancakes were bland, but the bacon’s flavor was delicious, though not as crisp as I prefer. My boyfriend thought the breakfast food wasn't as bad as I thought, and he really liked his omelette. There were breakfast pastries, breads, eggs, pancakes, waffles, crepes, and made-to-order omelettes.
For lunch, there were foods from around the world--sushi, Asian noodles, create-your-own stir-fry, beef, sausage, pizza, and tacos. For dessert, there were various flavors of pies, custards, cookies, gelato, and sugar-free desserts. There was also a full bar for an extra price, of course. Our favorite foods were the kielbasa, roast beef, tiramisu in chocolate cups, and chocolate gelato.
