Pros: Beautiful, fun hotel with large rooms.
Cons: The marketing people selling timeshares.
Summary: My husband and I just came back from a 5-night stay at the Rio in Las Vegas. This was our 3rd year in a row that we went to Las Vegas but the first time we stayed at the Rio. We found it last year because we ate at the seafood buffet, which is ... read more

Pros: Spacious Rooms, generous comps and quick drink service
Cons: Off the Strip
Summary: The Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas provides very nice accommodations for a stay in Las Vegas. The Rio advertises as an All-suite hotel; however, that is a slight stretch of the definition. The standard “suite” is an oversized hotel room with a couch ... read more

Pros: Stylish, convenient, reasonably priced, friendly staff
Cons: Vegas, baby
Summary: Las Vegas fascinates and repels me, but the latter emotion wins out every time. I always end up leaving the place with a sense of palpable relief. Last week was no exception. An industry conference was being held at the Mandalay Bay, and I figured ... read more

Pros: Huge suite style rooms. Colorful, fun, atmosphere.
Cons: Computers were down on check out.
Summary: I have deleted the review of "At the Copa" as that production no longer is at the Rio, however, we did stay for two nights and this is the new, updated review. We had to get away! Work was stressful and with the busy season upon us, the best place ... read more

Pros: fun, free shows, excellent service, exciting, beautiful suites
Cons: the time share people from Fair Field, the self parking
Summary: **This review is showing up under a different heading, but I put it under the Rio. I am not sure why the "Lodge" is showing but it is under the Rio according the EP system.** One trip that my fiance make throughout the year at different times is to ... read more

Pros: Most festive casino atmosphere I've encountered.
Cons: Management doesn't seem to place a place a premium on keeping hotel guests happy.
Summary: I had made a mental note to stay at the Rio a couple years ago. I went there to see a "Penn and Teller" show (really great) and was impressed with the excitement in the air (double meaning) this casino maintains. I am not a hard-core gambler; neither ... read more

Pros: Size of rooms, food selection, Parade in the Sky, price, Total Rewards Club, wine cellar
Cons: Off of the strip, timeshare salespeople, BevrTainers
Summary: Okay, I'm a little biased on this place being that my husband proposed to me at the Rio 5 years ago, but it is really such a great place to stay in Vegas! The rooms are all suites, so you always have a little "living room" area in your room with a sofa a ... read more

Pros: Quality of rooms, service, pools and just the way the place looks and feels.
Cons: Too far off the beaten path, getting to your room from the parking garages.
Summary: This is our favorite place to stay for our last 4 days of our vacation. We do a few hotels on the strip, do all the walking, sight seeing and anything else you can think of, so we save the relaxing and luxury for last.
Hope I don't appear too ... read more

Pros: big rooms, nice views, it was FREE!
Cons: really far from the strip; A pain in the butt to get to
Summary: Okay, okay. I admit it: I go to Vegas a lot. So sue me. I live less than 4 hours from the place, so everyone that visits me also wants to visit the Adult's Playground of Las Vegas. Of course, I'm more than happy to oblige.
I have always ... read more

Pros: Large! Luxurious! Affordable!
Cons: A long way from parking to room and pool.
Summary: Oh my WORD! We're staying in THIS room!? Those were my thoughts as I opened the door and saw my husband sitting on the COUCH in our room. I thought I'd died and gone to Heaven, especially after our experience at Circus, Circus, the night before. And ... read more

Pros: Great Rooms, awesome view, fun place
Cons: Timeshare sellers all over!
Summary: We have been to Las Vegas several times, even got married there! Last time we went there we stayed at the Rio in a masquarade suite, and I would stay there over and over again!

Pros: Fun and wild atmosphere.
Cons: Located off of the Strip.
Summary: In order to have a BAD time at the Rio, you really need to try! The atmosphere is incredibly fun-filled and similar to a huge party all the time.
I recently got married at the Rio and spent a week at the hotel in one of their suites. I had a ... read more

Pros: Decent price, largish rooms
Cons: Far off the strip, buffet really isn't all that great, special deals not so "special"
Summary: My husband and I decided to make another trip to Vegas, since we had enjoyed our other trip so much (see my other review on Harrahs). After checking prices, we decided to stay at the Rio because they were having special deals, and because my husband had ... read more

Pros: Spacious Rooms, Great Restaurants
Cons: Filthy Hotel
Summary: I previously recommended this hotel very highly. I went back in September 2002, on my own recommendation. I was really disappointed. The cleanliness of the hotel has degenerated dramatically in 14 months. The cigarette smoke in the casino was ... read more

Pros: not on the strip, free show amazing and entertaining, good food, friendly service, fun atmosphere.
Cons: hotel hard to navigate, too hot in the summer, suites expensive, & the pool crowded.
Summary: I recently stayed at the Rio and my time there was outstanding. Everyone was so friendly (except the cash bartender at my convention) and the food was amazing, the pastry delectable, and the prices not too unreasonable for a change.

Pros: They go out thier way for feel of Rio and Carnival.
Cons: They could put some benches out to watch the show from.
Summary: The Rio is on the other side of the highway in Vegas, and to look at it, it doesn't look as fancy from the outside as the rest of the casinos. However, once you get inside, they really go out of their way to entertain.
First of all, when you ... read more

Pros: Great atmosphere, casino shows, "time warp" for the Partridge Family generation
Cons: Not located on the strip
Summary: We made a trip to Vegas shortly after David Cassidy opened his show at the Rio. Being members of the Batman/Monkees/Partridge Family generation, we just had to take in the show. I went just for the nostalgia value, but I was happy to discover that it ... read more
