The Village Seafood Buffet disappears and reemerged on Friday as part of the former Carnival World Buffet at the Rio. Now the Carnival World & Seafood Buffet serves up more than 70 seafood dishes in addition to 200 more that cover pizza, omelets, sushi, teppanyaki, carved meats, Asian barbecues and of course, lobster.
Guests can watch their dishes created right in front of them at the live-action cooking station. Or head over to the desserts and pick from more than 70 varieties of homemade pies, cakes and pastries or nine gelato flavors.
“By combining these two iconic buffets, we are creating one of the best buffet experiences in Las Vegas,” says Dan Walsh, the general manager of the Rio, in a press statement.
Guests who want to go for the seafood need to pay an additional $15. Lunch on Mondays through Fridays now runs for 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for $24.99. Dinner on Mondays through Fridays from 3 to 10 p.m. costs $32.99 or $46.99 with seafood. Head over for brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for $31.99. Dinner on Saturday and Sunday from 3 to 10 p.m. goes for $34.99 or $49.99 with seafood.
The 13,000-square-foot Village Seafood Buffet was the only seafood-dedicated buffet in the city and had been serving thousands of pounds of crab legs daily since 1997.
