This casino isn't directly on the strip, but I almost preferred it. For one, you get a beautiful view of said strip from the top deck of Rio's parking garage.
It has the classic gaudy bright colors. It looks less updated than other casinos, but I preferred the general layout better. It was pretty easy to navigate. In particular, I loved the balcony like top floor that wrapped around the edges. It gave a nice view of the casino floor.
Went to see Penn and Teller, which was amazing. We wanted to eat at Hash a Go Go, but it has limited hours. Otherwise, I wasn't as impressed with the food options.
