I've always seen signs for this buffet, but since it's a bit off the strip, it was always a bit inconvenient for us. We decided to give it a try this time, and it wasn't bad at all. \n\nWhen we first got there, the line looked a bit intimidating. It went out the door, looped around the escalators, and down a bit more. We stood in line and watched the Rio bartenders do tricks, so the wait actually wasn't too bad. It went by pretty quickly, and we were seated quite promptly. \n\nThey had a decent array of choices - from Asian to Cajun, crustaceans to barbecue. My favorites were - of course - the crab legs and shrimp. Those two alone made me a very happy camper. The legs were NOT SALTED!! Most buffets in Vegas salt their crab legs to preserve them.. but not here! :D Big kudos for that! They were easy to crack, and super sweet and juicy. I also really enjoyed the New England clam chowder.. yummy!! \n\nAnother portion I really look forward to at buffets are the desserts. Sadly, I was not impressed. However, they did have gelato though! For some reason, I was loving the cantaloupe and honeydews way more! The strawberries were delicious too - add the chocolate syrup and you have a chocolate fondue!! \n\nI don't know if I'd come back necessarily.. it is a bit inconvenient as I've said before.. but definitely enjoyed it while I was there!
