Nestled just one block off the Las Vegas Strip on Flamingo Road, the Rio Hotel & Casino stands as a longstanding icon in the city’s vibrant landscape. Featuring expansive 580 square-foot all-suite guestrooms, a sprawling 5-acre pool paradise, a dynamic 150,000 square-foot casino, and an extensive convention and meeting complex, the Rio offers guests the quintessential Las Vegas experience.
Recently undergoing a total transformation in October 2023, the resort is poised for a new era of glamour and excitement. With ongoing improvements, including innovative dining experiences, revitalized public spaces, and an array of thrilling entertainment options, the Rio is committed to reimagining its iconic legacy while embracing the timeless charm of its architecture.
Rooms
The Rio Las Vegas provides spacious rooms and suites, offering guests a comfortable yet still very affordable stay. All the rooms at the Rio are suite-sized, meaning they’re over 500 square feet each, which can feel way larger than some of the other hotels on The Strip (where 350 to 420 square-foot rooms are common).
Given the recent renovations, rooms have been updated with new mid-century modern furnishings and fittings, a tub-to-shower conversion and separate living and sleeping zones. The rooms have a 65-inch TV and a queen-size pull-out bed in the sectional sofa too.
Other amenities include a mini-refrigerator, in-room safe, iron/board, and hair dryer.
Casino
The vast and lively casino at Rio Las Vegas boasts over 100,000 square feet of gaming space, featuring over 1000 slot machines, table games, and a vibrant atmosphere. At the sportsbook, you’ll find high-def TVs and the latest betting technology for all your sports events at this William Hill Sportsbook and bar.
