If you would like to pay more for a beat up appliance than you would for the same model only new, then you will love this place! In all seriousness, this place is terrible. They post retail prices higher than the actual MSRP for the model to make you think you are getting a big discount, when you aren't! This place is a total scam! Do your research and don't let them rip you off.

Very large assortment of food!!! TBH, I ate at ~ 5 different buffets including the ones at Bellagio, Casear's Palace, Aria, Treasure Island, Paris etc, and this one was one of my preferred. I especially LOVED their dessert fruit tarts!

I go to Vegas about once per year. I go to the Rio Buffet about once per year. This place is by far the best buffet in Vegas; and it's good enough that I force those that are with me to make at least one stop while in Vegas. For extra validation, a check-in on my Facebook profile resulted in multiple likes and comments of jealousy from previous patrons. Whatever food you want, they have. Mexican, Italian, American Comfort, Asian, Stirfry, Sushi, Raw Bar, Carving Station etc. My personal favorite is the MTO Stiry Fry Bar. How great is that? And if at all possible, save room for dessert. They have an entire bakery available along with a wide array of sorbets. It's probably a good thing that I don't go to Vegas more often than I do, because in addition to the money I would be sure to lose gambling, I would probably gain an estimated 20-30 pounds due to the wonder of the buffet.

I was an invited guest before the actual grand opening of the Hotel and had a mixed bag of reviews. For sure there are definite upside to staying here like the All Suite hotel and incredible size of the suites. If you have stayed at the Venetian, this is the sister hotel that is almost identical but instead of the over the top Italian decor it is modern to modern art deco. The Palazzo is connected to the Venetian by a great mall and spectacular art water fall display. The shops are upper class but lack some of the bigger names. All in all this a definitely a top 10 hotel on Vegas but when I stayed (3 nights) it was not finished. I had problems with the closet door not shutting and some lighting issue I'm sure they have since figured out. The Lavo club is unique in that it is a bath house/restaurant/club. The casino is nice since it is away from the hotel portion, but small. I found myself walking over to the Venetian to find better gaming and food. The plus is definitely the size and decor of the rooms. There are at least 2 LCD TVs, a sitting level with a pull sofa bed, and large bathrooms.
