We’ve got all the details about Rio’s Canteen Food Hall opening in January 2024.<\/p>\n Rio says of the Canteen Food Hall, “This new culinary hub will feature a dynamic line-up of first-to-market concepts and Las Vegas favorites that invite locals and visitors alike to explore, indulge and savor in a lively dining experience.”<\/p>\n Translation: There’s hope for Rio yet.<\/p>\n We first shared the Rio’s Carnival World Buffet space would be a food court back in April 2023<\/a>, because it’s our town and everyone else is just borrowing it.<\/p>\n While longtime Rio fans bemoaned the closure of the resort’s once-renowned buffet, buffets lose money and modern casinos aren’t fans of that business model. So, they partner with third parties, get rent and mitigate their risk.<\/p>\n Dry wall going up around Carnival World Buffet at Rio. End of an era.
