I had a great experience at the Rio. I arrived late in the evening and the desk clerk surprised me with a complimentary upgrade to a suite. I had only one night alone, then met friends for the next two nights. I thought the regular rooms would be small, but to my delight, it was a 600+ sq ft room.... more

My conference got changed from Caesar's to the Rio and I almost considered not going. Big suprise ! The Rio had the friendlist personnel working there. From the front desk to the maids. The hotel rooms were clean, quite and had very comfortable beds. The slot machines even paid off some. If you go, don't miss the seafood buffet. $40... more

My husband travelled there to speak. He said that his conference room and the food was very nice for his students. I have read reviews about what others have said on trip advisor, when they said that the Rio's only problem is that it sits far away from the main strip. This is basically true. The rooms are older, but... more

Above average size rooms but with basic ammenties and an off the strip location makes for an ok experience. The pools are not heated and half of them were closed. The resturants were ok but nothing special. If the price is right it is an ok deal. more

I've been to Vegas several times and we always rent a car, so we usually stay off Strip for better deals, and decided to try out the Rio. When we checked in I asked about a strip view, they said $30/night, but they had a jacuzzi suite for $75/night and that had a strip view, so we chose that. I'm... more

This was our first time staying at the Rio, we visit Vegas two or three times a year and belong to the Harrah's players club so we chose to stay at the Rio with our comps this time around. I was very pleasantly surprised with the room. We were in the Ipanema tower on the 19th floor and the room... more

I didn't realize how off the strip we were. It was approximately 30 mins to walk. They provide a shuttle to Harrah's hotel every 30 minutes but that is still not always convenient. We ended up taking a cab most of the time. This gets costly about $10.00 each way. Just fyi if looking for an inexpensive stay the transportation... more

We stayed at The Rio for a weekend in September. We truly enjoy this hotel as all the rooms are suites. You also have a refrigerator in your room which makes it nice as you can bring in items from the convenience store. If you stay on the upper levels you have a great view of the strip at night.... more

Having been to Vegas many times in the past and having stayed at all different price levels of hotels I was honestly surprised just how bad the Rio was. First of all it needs a major room renovation in order for it to compete with other hotels. YES, these are suite rooms but when the bathroom has mold on the... more
