The Rio Relaunches Village Seafood Buffet in Las Vegas
03-20-2008 by VegasNews Staff

Having taken the buffet concept to new heights, the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas is once again redefining the category with the Village Seafood Buffet that is now open following an extensive remodeling of its bold and colorful 13,000 square feet of space.

From customizable sushi prepared right in front of the guest to sommeliers available to pair seafood selections with the finest of wines, the refined Village Seafood Buffet is Las Vegas’ only seafood buffet serving the freshest seafood from around the world, flown in daily with restaurant-style execution.

The Cuisine

From freshwater prawns from Indonesia to Pacific salmon, Alaskan king crab, Canadian snow crab, shrimp from China and slipper tail lobster from Southeast Asia, the Village Seafood Buffet purchases more than 200 tons of fresh seafood annually.

This global menu features the essence of the Mediterranean, the vibrant cooking traditions in the Pacific Rim, the rich and flavorful creations indigenous to the Baja region, the exotic, eclectic flavors of South America where guests enjoy carving stations featuring six types of proteins that can be made into succulent skewers and the diverse ingredients and cooking styles of North America.

The Décor

Visual enhancements immediately captivate attention. From the grand new entrance showcasing metallic pieces that depict the ebb and flow of the ocean tides, to commissioned artwork from renowned artist Brad Holland prominently on display, the all new Village Seafood Buffet emphasizes the cool hues of the ocean’s blues and ice-frosted whites.

The Hours and Price

Village Seafood Buffet is open daily at 4 p.m., closing at 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Price is $38 (plus tax) per person and $23.99 for children ages four through eight. Children under three are free.

The Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino is a Harrah's Entertainment resort. The Rio offers guests a unique all-suite hotel experience. Complete with 2,563 all-suite hotel rooms, the property overlooks the famous Las Vegas Strip, one block west on Flamingo Road.
