Rio is a huge complex that has convention area, large casino/gaming area/several pools and various restaurants on site. I was there for a four day convention and had a great stay. If one is in Vegas to gamble and be entertained, Rio is a pretty good deal. Live (free) shows in the casino happen nightly with overhead Mardi Gras parades... More

I took my wife to the rio for six nights as a birthday trip. The room was large with plenty of room to move around, the buffet and restaurants are good food with good service the table games are fun the slots pay ok. The parking could be better! still enjoyed our stay very much and would definetly return to... More

i was in vegas between 1/24 to 1/28 and stayed at the Rio Ipanema tower. Against some of my colleagues' advise where they stayed at the Bellagio, i stayed at the Rio. Let me just say that even with the skimpiest dress on their cocktail waitress will not be enough to bring me back. After reading all the review here... More

We stayed here in May 2011 after receiving a fantastic deal through our Harrahs reward card - basically for the price we had it was almost free for 4 nights so couldn't not afford to try it. To be honest we were not too sure about the hotel as it was on the strip but with the regular free shuttle... More

First the good. No resort fees! Large suite-like rooms and very pretty cocktail waitresses. The bad- difficult parking unless you're a Diamond level player or guest. Long lines to check in and equally long at the buffet(also remedied if you're a Diamond level guest). The Ugly - There is a coffee pot in the suite, with no coffee. If you... More

On check-in the desk tried to give us a standard room even though we paid for premium. When I protested she gave us the room type we paid for but moved us to the older Masquerade tower, and I was too tired to argue further. Aside from that the rooms are HUGE and come with refrigerators. Everything was clean and... More

The main thing I had heard about Rio is that it's full of hookers. Yes, quite a few do come out at night but nowadays you find a lot of that in several of the hotels. We overheard the security telling someone that had complained about them that every night they get detained and then they just pay a fee... More

Although the attraction of thr large rooms was the the smell of smoking in all public areas of the hotel was that strong and the air quality that bad I moved 1/2 way into a 10 night stay. For visiting the attractions of the strip thr location is very inconvenient More

stayed 9/21-9/24 20011. I loved the room compared to the Delux room at Flamingo(I usually stay there) or the standard room at Ballys. It was not a true Suite, but was large, with a seating area, make up area, and a fridge. We had no complaints about the room. The staff was great. The problem is, that you are not... More
