About the Casino
The Rio is one of those hotels that is hard to get a bead on. There is a lot to like about the place – terrific rooms, enough to do so that you never need leave the building, friendly service, and more. But there are also a few issues that can’t be overlooked that keep The Rio from being one of my favorites.
Before we go any further, it is worth noting that the hotel was sold in 2019… sort of. Caesars Entertainment, which has managed the place for years, sold it to an investment company and is leasing the property back until at least 2021. That means nothing is expected to change from the way it is now. If they let the lease expire and the other company takes over, a lot could change, but that’s a discussion for a future day. In the meantime, let’s get back to how the Rio is in the present.
I find the Carnavale in Rio atmosphere to be a bit overwhelming, mostly in the older parts of the casino where the low ceilings, crowded floor plan, and general gaming merriment conspire to create more “energy” than I like. The newer parts of the casino in the Masquerade Villagearea have a higher ceiling and are little less claustrophobic, but still loud.
But with over 120,000 square-feet of casino space you should be able to find someplace you can be comfortable. And don’t forget that as part of the Caesars corporate family you can earn points on the Caesars Rewards slot club and redeem them at any Caesars property nationwide.
The rooms have always been one of The Rio’s strengths, although they are not technically the suites they claim to be if you, like Webster’s dictionary, define a “suite” as a group of rooms occupied as a unit. Rather, they are oversized single rooms with sectional sofas, tables, writing desks, and beds of course with a separate bathroom/dressing area. And yes, I know a bathroom counts as another room but if that is the argument for defining these as suites then almost every hotel room in the world is a suite.
