| - The Rio. My old second home. Seriously its like I lived here. Back in the day I was quite the gambler. So I stayed exclusively at Harrahs properties. But back then they were Caesars properties.... OK I'm dating myself. Anywho, Rio was my hotel of choice. Now lets get down to the good, the bad and the ugly.
THE GOOD:
Gambling here is amazing. At least from a Craps girls point of view. When I want to throw my hard earned money away with little to no chance of ever getting it back here is where I want to do it. Its lively and exciting, and once you get at a good table that drink lady is there ever 5 minutes. Me being the lush I am, I never turned her down. Which led to me having 3 drinks at once. Oh the good times.
The rooms..... OK, here is the trick to the rooms. If you want a newly remodeled room stay in the new towers. The decor is nice but the rooms are small. Me personally Id rather have a larger room then new decor. But to each their own. In Vegas I need all the room I can get to throw my stuff around. The rooms in the Masquerade a HUGE. But, beware.... Some of the rooms have a window into the shower. I didn't notice until I was taking a shower and saw my son. I felt violated. lol. Also, if you ever get the chance stay in a Masquerade Suite. AMAZING. Dining room, living room, picture windows, great view...... I miss this place already.
The amenities... The Buffet, Voodoo Lounge, The Pool. All great.
THE BAD:
Location. The major drawback is that the Rio is off the strip. But thanks to cabs this is an obstacle you can overcome. So deal with it, your wallet will thank you.
THE UGLY:
OK maybe I jumped the gun with The Ugly, but it rolled right off my thumbs.
For Harrahs Diamond Players go visit the Diamond Lounge. Free food and drinks, I love it.
