Delicious food and great variety! I went on a Sunday for brunch with a group of friends and we all really enjoyed it.

Decent food, but nothing special. Basically, a buffet to pig out without being too discriminating. Good service.

We eat here just about every time we come to Vegas. The food is good and fresh. Lots of sushi. Good Italian. Lots of seafood. Sood selection of sugar free desserts. They don’t taste sugar free. Relatively small salad bar. Long walk from food to smoking section. However, we are getting bored with it and will not eat here so often, except maybe for breakfast. But if you haven’t tried it, do so. You will come away full to the gills. It is very good.

Have eaten here every time in Vegas. The selection is huge and good. The Italian food is very good. Salad bar is bigger than most other buffets in Vegas. Desserts are good. Some taste home made. Many breads to choose from and most are very fresh and tasty. Service is better than average but sometimes slow to refill drinks.

!st visit left me with mixed opionions, great Mexican and Sushi selections, but roast beef tough and salad and dessert selections not great. Could not read the signs above the food, but emailed them to complain and food and bev mgr responded in two hours saying they would be replaced in two weeks!
Like Alladin and Paris better, can not complain too much as signing up for Harrah’s players card got us comped for dinner, $48 value!

Huge selection. Food was fresh. It was so large we worked up an appetite just going from one to other to see the selection. Everything was tasty. Service was good, but we had to ask for refills on drinks.

Wow! What an orgy of food. This buffet is huge, yet most of the dishes were tasty and did not taste mass-produced at all. There was even fresh and quite good sushi. I made three trips for sushi alone. With a wide variety of food there’s something for everyone here—American, Asian, Mexican. I didn’t try EVERYTHING (I don’t think that is possible,) but I tried a lot of different dishes and was happy with all of it. The self-service pay stations looked to be causing some confusion to some technophobic customers, but I had no such problems. Definitely, one of the best buffets I’ve had in my many visits to Vegas.

The first of the “must see” buffets. Nice variety (though it has now been eclipsed) but the food can be bland versions of the real deal. Service is very good with your cervers always being prompt. This is still one of the most popular buffets so get ready to wait in line. The price seems a little steep now for what you get, but there is something there for the whole family to enjoy eating.

Food was okay. Some if it was really dry. Lots of assortment. Service was good. If theres a short line to the buffet, it is worth a try but there’s always a long line. Try the Aladdin’s spice market. Its is much better and is a world buffet also.

Large assortment. But it’s all awful. Either poor quality food or poorly prepared.. This buffett used to cost $3.95 and was quite good. Now it costs around $20.

The selection is the best in Vegas, and the food is good, but not worth the price or the wait.

This was the most disappointing meal of our 5 day stay…it was the only buffet style dinner we had, so I can’t make a comparison. We heard over and over about this buffet from locals and tourists alike. It was the PITS! My food was just warm enough to eat..tasted OK, my girlfriend’s was awful. I don’t know why our experience was so opposite to what we kept hearing. I like the RIO in general, but definitely do not recommend this buffet.

Always pretty busy, expect a line. A huge variety of dishes… Some really good, others a little bland. You can have a good meal here.

I ate here two times the last week of September. The selection is
one of the best in town, but the individual food items are good,
but not great. The sushi bar and the peel and eat shrimp are two
things that really make this a great buffet. Had some kind of
orange/mango cake there that was gr

Had the Breakfast Buffet every morning that we stayed there. We
were very pleased. Huge omelets made to order. Great selection of foods. Very clean. Never had to wait for juice or coffee.
Waited on as soon as we were seated. We were comped the last two days of our stay. Would go back again and again.

while some of the buffet items were just ok…most were average to below average…overall this buffett is way overrated.

Big selection. Food quality was excellent on some items, OK on others. People always rave about this buffet, and although it is good, I would not include in the top three of the Las Vegas Buffets I have eaten at so far. Maybe it was better at one time and slid?

A very good buffet. The reason it’s so good is because they have so many choices. You can get pizza, pasta, tacos, BBQ, burgers, chinese and a ton more. I would go back.
