Not my go to Vegas hotel but I've stayed here a lot. Great large rooms and awesome although dated suites. The masquerade suites are huge. 1500 sq ft and they occupy the entire end of each floor of the kidney shaped main tower. My platinum status often gets me upgraded to one of them very often. Best to check in on Sunday if you want a decent chance at the upgrade for a nominal fee. Still free parking. Stand alone building close to strip but not a good walk. Especially at night. Take the free shuttle over the bridge to Caesars Paris etc. Crazy Bernie is a big fan of Rio. If they update their rooms it will be a solid 5 stars.
