I recently went to Vegas for my bachlorette party in early December. I booked Rio because for 4 girls, 2 rooms with a strip view the total was $400 that's a $100 each! We stayed over during the weekend and by comparison this was the best deal.
I was really confused with picking a place to stay at in Vegas but looking at some of the pictures and a map of the Rio I decided to stay here once I noticed the price was so great!
The rooms were cool, we stayed at the imperial suites the "strip view" was lame but the beds were comfy room service was great! and we were glad Chippendale's was downstairs--- it made for our easiest night out!
The CONS to this place,
you're forced to cab it everywhere-- that or take the shuttle everywhere definitely NOT walking distance to anything.
If you were as confused as I was when booking I'd recommend staying at
The Paris hotel
or
The Venetian
My 2 favorite places while I was there! My next trip I will definitely book there!
Rio was okay for what it was and my bridesmaids were happy as it was everyone's first time in Vegas so it wasn't a total miss we all made it work but I'd definitely pay a little more to be on the strip next time.
