This buffet has long been voted, by locals, as the best in Vegas. Quality-wise, it's probably as good as ever, and maybe even better. Decor-wise, it's better still, since an overhaul was devoted mostly to improving the dining areas. Overall, this is simply more mainstream, an upscale food court with "South American" cooked-to-order stir-fries, Mexican taco fixings and accompaniments, Chinese fare, a Japanese sushi bar and teppanyaki grill, a Brazilian mixed grill, Italian ...

The standard

Posted by atdleft  from Orange County, CA  on March 27, 2009

Carnival world buffet really has set the standard in vegas. it's the trendsetter. while it sometimes seems like rio is resting on its laurels, i'm never disappointed by my meal here. and every once in a while, i find something here that will make me wonder where else i can find such a tasty treat.

no matter the date and time, it's never a bad time to go to carnival world.

The measuring stick

Posted by Banzai CB  from Ontario, CA  on August 7, 2008

This is the standard by which the good, the bad and the ugly buffets are measured. are there better buffets in vegas? you bet. but the majority stack up far below the quality and experience provided at the carnival world buffet. it's the variety that make this a favorite with locals and visitors alike, and its the consistently high calibre that keeps everyone coming back. all ages and tastes will find plenty to their liking at this rio tradition.
