Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino

Alien To None

We have stayed at the Rio quite a number of times, and must say— best bang for your buck! The beds are comfy, clean. The rooms, although sadly dated in the masquerade tower were freshly sanitized and well organized. There was space, every room we have stayed in comes with a pull out couch and a working fridge, just in case you have extra company. Lots of entertainment and fun, with some of the best prices! Even the casino has evolved from just a few months back! Pool area is still closed for the season. Only things we had to note was the A/C in our room was clearly not running cool air. The shower very much so needs an update, it took 20 minutes of running the water to reach a warm water consistency that only lasted about a half an hour. Thankfully just us two as we realized there’s a peep window in our shower. Lastly, if you are a light sleeper, I highly recommend the Ipanema tower since you have a very clear view of the active train tracks from the masquerade tower.

Location is perfect, basically on the strip. However I have gripes with the fact that there are zero microwaves or coffee makers in their rooms. Obviously they do this because they would prefer them to go to the Starbucks on the first floor. They have two extremely awesome a well worth it restaurants, but just remember you won't be able to heat it up. Service was slightly frustrating too. The bellhops were kind of snobby, didn't want to take my luggage to rideshare. I don't like their system to call up bell hop service either. It took half an hour to get mine. I missed my flight. I'd probably stay here again...but my expectations will be much lower.

Don't stay here! Spend your money and time at a hotel near the strip. We stayed for a long weekend in January and this was our experience. Cons: This hotel is outdated, and even the remodeled rooms are underwhelming. The $50 "resort fee" is a money grab- there's no "resort" (since it's January and pool is closed, which is fine but waive the fee then!). The casino itself is so outdated it felt like the 1980's in there. The few restaurants we tried were good but overpriced. The front desk, specifically Patricia, was so unhelpful. Check-in line (with a human, not a kiosk) is normally very long so be prepared to wait when you arrive if you have a special request. We had no conditioners, just two shampoos in the shower. Tried to call the housekeeping line but to no avail; it was disconnected. When we told the front desk the gentleman responded, "I'm surprised you even have a phone that works!" So, yeah. That tells you all you need to know. Lastly, you have to take a cab to get to the strip. They add up quickly! Can't walk to anything other than maybe the Denny's down the street. Pros: Service from bars and restaurants was really good! Everyone was so nice and friendly. And the food was tasty. Room is SO spacious and the beds were really comfortable. The thermostat/temperature regulation was great too; we were always comfortable. The fitness center is awesome. All new equipment and nicely stocked. Overall, considering this was a $200/night stay I'd say it's a hard pass. Cons very much outweighed the few pros, the place is pretty dumpy. Don't stay here.

The renovated rooms in the Ipanema Tower are a great improvement. The suite we were in was clean, quiet, and had plenty of space to keep our things off the floor. I also appreciated the front desk keeping us in the same room across two separate reservations. Housekeeping was the only positive interaction related to service. The Globalist breakfast benefit was a major disappointment. Because Rio is under construction and the normal restaurant was closed, they are using Eggslut as a surrogate. This is not a suitable substitute for a full breakfast, especially for families. My 4 year old son has dairy and egg allergies, and there were almost no safe options for him. Between the lack of dietary choices and the extreme inefficiency where we waited almost an hour for food despite being 5th in line, we ended up paying to eat elsewhere for the rest of the stay. Service was also a letdown. When I tried to discuss breakfast alternatives for my son’s allergies, the front desk agent was dismissive and rude, stating it was not their fault my son had an allergy. Additionally, the Rita virtual assistant was unreliable for housekeeping requests and billing. While the hard product is nice, the poor service and lack of functional breakfast options for families mean we will not return.

I got a really good deal on this hotel during a very busy convention week, saving me $1200 on my 5 night stay. The hotel room itself is huge, with two separate sinks and vanity countertops, two comfortable beds, a very large couch, desk and TV. It feels like I am in a suite rather than a standard room. The furnishings are from the 90s but it’s a fun throwback as a millennial to relive my childhood. It feels like a luxury to have this much square footage along with a working fridge! The AC works great and I have a nice view of the strip. The employees here are all very nice and courteous. The gym has everything you need for a decent weight lifting workout and a scenic view from the stair master. I love that this hotel is not overcrowded despite it being a busy convention week. The Korean restaurant on site is really good too. The free parking is also a nice perk! Overall I would recommend staying here and I will stay here again when I return to Vegas!
