My husband and I stayed 3 nights in the Masquerade Tower; our suite was on the 23rd floor; the view at night is fantastic. Floor to ceiling windows, 600 sq. ft, fridge, huge bathroom with granite, double sinks and full wall mirror and makeup mirror -$60/night!! Enjoyed the pool area, went to the spa, $22 per person or they have a 3 day deal, spa has gym, includes bottled water, juice, fruit, sauna, steam room, relaxation lounge, full bathroom with amenities. The light show only performs Thurs-Sun, the buffet is one of our favorites. Go to 1/2 price ticket booth and get the Rio buffet tickets to save $8/person. Condo sales people are at most of the hotels, just ignore them and they leave you alone (you'll know them by their black jacket and they ask "where are you from? how long are you staying?" Just keep walking and it's not a problem. Vegas is always much cheaper if you go weekdays. We've stayed at several hotels but the value for the price Rio is the best. Since we rent a car staying less than a mile offstrip is no trouble. Renting a car is actually cheaper and much more convenient than taxis or the monorail and all the walking. The room was exceptionally clean. The mattress was a Serta perfect sleeper (firm), not as comfortable as ours at home but we slept fine. Only complaint was it rained for a few minutes the first day about 1:00 and they closed the pool the rest of the day. It was open the the rest of our visit though. Several spas at the pools, several pools, towels are nice, plenty of lounge chairs, service was fine. We'll definitely stay here again.

Hotel is nice , always have free rooms so that makes it nice. Not enough choices on fast food , need some like Mcdonalds , BK etc.

From the registration, to dheck out, everything from the room and dining, I had a great experience. This is a great place to stay!!

We were in town for a wedding. The Rio was a good place because of the suites. It gave us a place to relax (lots of space, a couch, a lounge chair, and 2 sinks ...one in the shower and one outside of the shower, and a dressing area) for all the oldsters... Sound buffers were excellent. ... Voodoo Lounge was a hit for all the young wedding party..they came from all the other hotels. Staff was always friendly and helpful. There is very little for kids........although I don't think that Vegas is a "kid" vacation at all. It was sad to see parents wheeling sleeping children in strollers through casinos.

I have stayed here before in the past... I thought my room was of lesser quality than the other times. I asked for a non smoking king but there wasn't anything available. OR so I thought, the gentleman who came to the counter right next to me during the final moments of my transaction, had no problem securing a king non smoking. Additionally, there was a non uniformed hotel employee walking my floor all night during my stay. I asked for clarification from the front desk but no one gave me a clear answer. I wonder if there had been a crime on the floor...
