The manager Eric is a very professional well spoken gentleman, he is a stellar ambassador for the Buffett at the Rio! Did a great job explaining the new offerings! I'll visit- because it looks clean and delicious👍😊🌟
Watched a dozen of your videos and this buffet looks like the best of the bunch. Eric runs a great buffet, the kitchen looked immaculate, and the food presentation was phenomenal. That man needs a raise!
I'm definately trying this buffet. Also, i like the format of the Food Services manager doing the welcome, and cooks presenting their station. Looks like the Rio wants to give the top 5 a run for their money.
Watching many of your vids, this is my all-time favorite. Not only, the look of the food and your smile while eating it, the behind-the-scene invitation, rocked it. Kudos to the Manager, too! If it stays consistent (hope to see you re-visit in 6 mos. for comparison), this will be the go-to buffet for Vegas visitors. Thanks!
What a great behind the scenes video, Derek. The new and improved buffet at the Rio looks amazing. I can't wait to go and try all that goodness. The kitchen looks immaculate.
Years ago I stayed in Vegas at the MGM Grand when it first opened, and a group of us made our way to the Rio Carnival Buffet. We all loved it. So many years later, and of all the buffets you have posted, I am most curious about this buffet. With such a helpful staff, and amazing-looking food, I will definitely be certain to get to this buffet the next time I am in Vegas.
Out of all your great video's the RIO looks the cleanest! Very nice! And the cook was very kind and helpful, they look like they take pride in their work, like they're cooking for family. Good job RIO! and thank you for giving us an informed view so we can make a good choice when choosing a buffet! I never would have thought about going to the RIO for a buffet, but i will now.
WOW WEEEE YIPPY YIP YEAH. I am so impressed with this special happy hour buffet. I know I will be in line before 4pm and I know they are going to see me enjoying until the last minute. The upper end on so many offerings is just one plus. In each section you see quality and freshness and a true sense of specialness. Thank you Derek for a great overview and I am sure the Rio management will be very pleased with your coverage. jmo
Just for them showing you around and everything that's what it's all about. Have my business now I'll definitely try this buffet now. Shows how professional they are
I just hate this. I just ate dinner. I feel sick. I wish I was there with you. It all looks scrumptious. The food manager was really proud of his staff and operation and it reflects in the food. I'll definitely go there.
Excellent video my friend! Looks top notch. Probably the best buffet in vegas at that price point. I really like that they are making scratch food! You almost never see that at buffets anymore. You can really tell the difference!
Hey there Derek. Great video as always! I like the fact that you got access to the back by Food and Beverage. That was awesome to see! You are the man! Can't wait to go back to the Rio and try out all that delicious food. You are always my go to guy when it comes to the Vegas buffets! You even got the chefs to help you out on your video! Nice!!!!! Keep up all good work that you do for all your subscribers!! 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
If I went to Vegas, I’d be eating here every night, and I would have something different every night! What a massive, yet clean and attractive buffet, not to mention an enormous (and still very clean) kitchen. It also helps when the management and staff are helpful and take pride in their work!
I am definitely making a trip to the Rio asap. I live in North Vegas and am a mere 20 minutes from there. Watch out Rio....im coming in really hungry!!!! 😋😋
Definitely one of the better looking buffets you have had. I usually feel sick after watching these, but this one wasn’t bad at all. I could picture eating here and not regretting it later.
I’ve been marathoning vids on the channel, so entertaining and informative. Man, this buffet really looked good. There was more variety of thing I really like compared to some others. It seemed like they made sure to have food with strong flavors. Sometimes it tastes like buffets are afraid of that. I think the Rio buffet goes on the must go list. Nice to see how well you were treated by everyone too.
As a commercial cook I really enjoyed this vlog as a consumer I loved it. The variety is fantastic, yet even better is the cleanliness and pride they show in their product presentation and their kitchen areas. Another reason making me want to relocate to Vegas.
Hello from the UK, Vegas is my dream holiday, my dad has been to Vegas before with my mums dad, so thanks for posting these videos. Plus it's my birthday tomorrow so it's a nice bonus to me to watch these videos of yours. Thanks again.
Very Cool !! Rio buffet used to be one of our favorites, now we need to go back. Excellent to see behind the scenes too. Fresh fish makes a huge difference in flavor and taste especially on a buffet Thank you !
This is literally my #1 Favorite buffet in Las Vegas. Been going all my life with my family. I could go for this right now.... I’m hungry just looking at this video. 🤤🤤🤤🤤
probably the best selection and quality of food for the $$$ of any Las Vegas Buffett I have ever seen.....I would hurt myself eating at this one......WOW!!!!
This was one of your best videos. The private tour allowed you to take your time to cover all the items on the buffet. Next time I visit Vegas I'll stop by the Rio buffet.
This is one of your best reviews it was nice bringing some one in who works there too you can see the pride he enjoys his job. Nice to see that spotless kitchen too.
I just love watching you try all the different foods. You make me hungry!! I wind up telling you what to avoid and what to pick, too bad you can't hear me!!! Or maybe that's a good thing. Oh I wish I was there with you. So many things I want to try. Keep up the good work guy, love your videos. Sue
Wow you're taking this to the next level. Phenomenal. Thanks for this because we are visiting next week. Great video. Definitely checking this place out.
I went to the Rio a few years ago and thought it was not very good. This looks hugely different and a big improvement over what I had. I did not see anything there that looked low grade. I want to try the Rio again. Thanks for the video!
Damn...another buffet you've sold me on! Great video, great access! They have so many items, it'd be hard to try all of them without getting full! I'm not big on crab legs, but the rest of the seafood looked excellent, as did the Chinese food! #Winner
12:14 You know this channel has gone to the next level when the boss takes you on a tour of the kitchen.
lol
It’s clean
Yes, that was really cool to see behind the scenes and how the do the prep especially when it's fresh like that.
Good to see it’s clean as a whistle
This looks better than any other buffet you had on your channel.
The manager Eric is a very professional well spoken gentleman, he is a stellar ambassador for the Buffett at the Rio! Did a great job explaining the new offerings! I'll visit- because it looks clean and delicious👍😊🌟

Thanks! lol
Glad to see you get VIP treatment.
I agree...it's about time! Hopefully, none of these buffets charge you to video their buffets.
it IS a free commercial for the Rio, so I call it a good investment.
I was in Vegas yesterday. It just isn't the same. Half of the world is still upside down. I hope we get to see experiences like this again.
I'm definately trying this buffet. Also, i like the format of the Food Services manager doing the welcome, and cooks presenting their station. Looks like the Rio wants to give the top 5 a run for their money.
Coming to Vegas in Feb...this looks like a MUST!!!
That is a good manager right there. Great attitude! Great fresh food! Nice job everyone!
Looks wonderful - beautiful presentation! I love that they treated you right! Yay!
This looks like the buffet me & my daughter will go to. What a nice manager to take you into the back & show you around.
It's nice to see the chefs showing off their food.
Now THAT is a proper buffet. Every item well presented and looks delicious. Especially appreciate the banh mi sandwiches!
One of the best looking buffets I've seen from all of your videos!
Nice job and Kudos to Erik and the Staff for making an appearance ad being helpful. The Vietnamese food looks really good, too.
lol bit right into that shrimp, shell and everything 😆
Chimpoko Bro I know right, I was like is he gonna eat the head too??😂 that’s not how you supposed to eat it, lol I least he liked it😅

Having that dude tag along to answer questions you might have was really cool but then you take us backstage......AMAZEBALLS!

thumbs up!
great variety and hospitality from the rio staff!
Unprecedented access Derek! You are getting closer to syndication and fame as the go to guy for Vegas foodie followers. I’m with you all the way!
Thanks, Michael!
So smart of them to finally roll the red carpet for you Derek, I hope other buffets will do the same. Great buffet and even better video, thank you.
Thanks, Slavko!
Just for them showing you around and everything that's what it's all about. Have my business now I'll definitely try this buffet now. Shows how professional they are
One of the best videos so far, interesting look behind the scenes. Will visit the Rio next time.
Thanks!
Derek is getting famous and important enough the buffets are offering tours for him now
lol
Loved this video, Derek!! You showed all the food items at a good pace and we got to see you sample your favorites -- perfect!
Thanks, Mary!
That prime looked so good. Great job RIO.
Ok Derek you just convince me! I loved the fact that thei kitchen looked so clean, that to me says alot about a restaurant or buffet.
Absolutely!
We only saw a tiny part of the kitchens though...
Death by Buffet what a way to go. Thanks for sharing this.
I just hate this. I just ate dinner. I feel sick. I wish I was there with you. It all looks scrumptious. The food manager was really proud of his staff and operation and it reflects in the food. I'll definitely go there.
I'll be staying there when I get in tomorrow morning! Thank you for this!
Nice!
This gets the double thumbs up in all aspects of what to expect at a top notch buffet in this price range.
Excellent video my friend! Looks top notch. Probably the best buffet in vegas at that price point. I really like that they are making scratch food! You almost never see that at buffets anymore. You can really tell the difference!
Thanks, Chef!
The staff is so nice. Everything looks clean & fresh. Even the pizza...and the lasagna looks delicious.
That chef REALLY likes his job
Hey there Derek. Great video as always! I like the fact that you got access to the back by Food and Beverage. That was awesome to see! You are the man!

Fantastic video Derek! Have the food director there to answer some of your questions was a real bonus. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for doing a review on the RIO CARNIVAL BUFFET when I go to Vegas I will try this Buffet for sure
I am definitely making a trip to the Rio asap. I live in North Vegas and am a mere 20 minutes from there. Watch out Rio....im coming in really hungry!!!! 😋😋
The dinner is awful. Go to the Palms, or Wynn
Love that you saw the kitchen, shows they have nothing to hide and that it’s super clean. Love the videos Derek!
Thanks, Liz!
This buffet is massive
Definitely one of the better looking buffets you have had. I usually feel sick after watching these, but this one wasn’t bad at all. I could picture eating here and not regretting it later.
I appreciate the Rio being so hospitable! We will definitely be making a visit to the Rio buffet. Looks AMAZING!
Cool!

Looks like we have a winner! Definitely going here.

Holy crap the behind the scenes is making this your best ever video. This is the kind of videos we want from your channel.
Thanks, Lvskymar!
Great. I will be in Vegas for 12 days from late August. I have now sorted out most of my evening meals from your buffet recommendations.
Thanks 😝😝
This is one of the better ones I've seen yet! Lots of things that most buffets don't have like Oysters Rockefeller.
This the best looking buffet you have presented yet.
Very Cool !! Rio buffet used to be one of our favorites, now we need to go back. Excellent to see behind the scenes too. Fresh fish makes a huge difference in flavor and taste especially on a buffet Thank you !
My pleasure, Connie!
Like the buffet chef giving the rundown on the offerings. You can tell he is proud of his work!
Never try the Rio , definitely in my list on my next Vegas stop , gotta try it , it looks like a delicious 🤤 experience
Good job on getting back there. Shows your channel is growing. Keep it up!!!
Will be in Vegas next month. Going to Rio after watching this video! Very nice employees proud of their work and treating you right. Love it.
Looks like you got there just as they opened. Everything looking its best. Loved the Mexican section. Looked better than most.
This is literally my #1 Favorite buffet in Las Vegas. Been going all my life with my family. I could go for this right now.... I’m hungry just looking at this video. 🤤🤤🤤🤤

One of the best buffet that you have shown😋😋👌
So nice of them to give you a welcoming tour!!! Definitely need to try this place. The food looks even fancier than Bacchanal.
It looks like they improved it immensely. I will put it back on the must do list. Thanks
This was one of your best videos. The private tour allowed you to take your time to cover all the items on the buffet. Next time I visit Vegas I'll stop by the Rio buffet.

Everything looks great. We Las Vegas have so many buffet, let's make it the best buffet for all travelers in America.
The Rio buffet is always my favorite in Las Vegas due to the cost and quantity of food. Seeing the kitchen was realty cool. Thanks
THIS FOOD MUST BE FRESH BECAUSE IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL! LOOK OUT bACENAUL!!!
Love the kitchen tour! Would love to see more behind the scene videos!
I just love watching you try all the different foods. You make me hungry!! I wind up telling you what to avoid and what to pick, too bad you can't hear me!!! Or maybe that's a good thing. Oh I wish I was there with you. So many things I want to try. Keep up the good work guy, love your videos. Sue
Wow you're taking this to the next level. Phenomenal. Thanks for this because we are visiting next week. Great video. Definitely checking this place out.

Mouth is watering sooooo bad!!!!! We absolutely need to catch up at this buffet, when I’m over for the NFR in December!!!!
Derreck, it's great you took us back into the kitchen. Thank you !
You're welcome!
Why do I always watch these when i'm hungry! Yummmmmmmmmmm
Rio is impressive, wonderful staff too.
I went to the Rio a few years ago and thought it was not very good. This looks hugely different and a big improvement over what I had. I did not see anything there that looked low grade. I want to try the Rio again. Thanks for the video!
You're very welcome!
Great vlog Derrick. Behind the scenes feature was a plus. More like this Thanks👍
Thank you!
It looks a lot better than when we ate there. Even better during Happy Hour.
Impressive! And getting a behind the scene tour was great. Thank for another great video and to the Rio!
Thank you, Susan!
My favorite, cleanest buffet in Vegas!
Damn...another buffet you've sold me on! Great video, great access! They have so many items, it'd be hard to try all of them without getting full! I'm not big on crab legs, but the rest of the seafood looked excellent, as did the Chinese food! #Winner
