I was like the others, a bit leary of staying at the Rio because of the previous reviews. I had never stayed there and noticed that a lot of the bad reviews were from people who had previously stayed there. I had no expectations so I am not dissapointed. The room was great! We stayed in the Masqurade tower and... more

Stayed from 27 to 29 September at the Rio. Requested and was granted a room at the Ipanema Tower - definitely the best location in relation to getting anywhere in the casino. The slots killed me the first day but then in the morning of my second day I hit a $1003 jackpot and then in the late evening took... more

My room itself wasn't dirty and most of the public areas were quite clean, but the pool area was just gross. The pools had a "ring around the tub" of gray brown soap scum like stuff. The sand surrounding the pools had been used as one large ashtray and there were cigarette and cigar butts just about everywhere I looked.... more

When we checked in we were told they didn't have a room for us after I had already paid for it. They put us in the PENTHOUSE SUITE. WOW it was very hard to leave the room the next day & go to our regular suite, but the 2 of us had 3 bathrooms, floor to celing window views &... more

I have stayed at the Rio twice both for business. When checking in around 3 PM on a Thursday there was a very long line and only three employees checking people in. Since there was a convention in town you would think they would staff it a little better. I stayed this time in the Masquerade Tower which is newer... more

My wife and I stayed at the Rio for the first time in 2000 and we had a wonderful time. We have visited Las Vegas five times since then, and have stayed at various casinos. This month, September 2009, we decided to stay at the Rio again. What a difference nine years (and a recession) makes! First of all, it... more

After reading so many negative reviews, we were a little hesitant to stay at the Rio. I am so glad we did. We have stayed at the Rio before, but it had been about 3 years ago. I was imagining an old run down hotel after reading reviews on TA. It was not the case. This time we stayed in... more

first, the rooms were perfect. Clean, and great beds , big rooms, with TV, and minibar, did not use. Also a fridge in the closet under the safe. The room service was very good, fast and even our eggs were hot! It took about 15-20 min both times. Shower has great pressure( this is important to woman with thick hair...believe... more

Why would anyone want to stay on the Strip when there is a great casino 3/4 mile away from all the nonsense. The Rio came highly recommended, and did they deliver! The food was outstanding, the suite large and comfortable, and service with a smile. When we go back to Vegas, it will definitely be to the Rio. more
