my family had been a few years ago and absolutely hated it. by accident, i ended up there this weekend (rio's seafood buffet changed their hours and now only serves dinner, boo!) and was pleasantly surprised by the selection and quality of the food. the crab was sweet (a rarity at buffets, i find), the meat options were endless, and the asian food served actually tasted like the asian dishes it claimed to be. it's not my absolute favorite, but this buffet is worth a try.

Pros: food selection, cleanliness

Cons: very hot plates (you have been warned!), brunch was a bit pricey, shrimp cocktail was unpeeled and small

Definitely wasn’t the worst buffet in vegas but still have yet to find one there. They all have pretty low quality food and that doesn’t exclude rio’s. When u first get there its so exciting but as u taste a bit of everything u start realizing that some of these things are pretty disgusting. I guess this place is good if you like those crab leg things because that’s were u get ur moneys worth I guess but I don’t eat that. Just go there if ur not expecting that much out of the buffet and don’t eat too much cuz you’ll be disgusted by the poor quality food you ate at the end blekh.

Pros: A Lot Of Food

Cons: But Very Gross And Not Fresh Food
