Buffets

The Carnival World Buffet has been a signature attraction since the casino opened. It was the first buffet in Las Vegas to have multiple live cooking stations and theme sections on the buffet line. The Carnival World Buffet is credited with taking the quality of the Las Vegas buffets to a new level in quality and price. The Carnival World Buffet was so successful that when the Masquerade Village opened it included a higher end seafood buffet, Village Seafood Buffet.

Masquerade Village

Masquerade Village is a section of the casino that includes Masquerade Show in the Sky. Masquerade Show in the Sky is mainly an aerial show that emulates the New Orleans Mardi Gras parades. This includes floats and the traditional throwing of beads.
