| - Great prices for a room and not far from the strip although I would not walk, we had a rental car.
I was researching prices and resort fees, parking fees, etc for our trip to Las Vegas. It was our first trip there and I was a little overwhelmed at all the hotels, prices, resort fees, etc. I found a great deal with Allegiantair.com for our hotel, flight and rental car. Finding the hotel was not hard, but trying to park and check in was crazy for us! We parked where we thought we should but as we got out a valet screamed at us to move. I was very upset, we had just flew in from our delayed flight, we were tired, hungry and this is Vegas?? Let's go home, is what I was thinking.
A different Valet came over to help us, he was so nice and helped us with where to go and where to park. My husband went to check in while I sat in the car.
When he came back he was not sure where to park to get to our room. We circled around for a while trying to figure it out and had to go back to the Valet area where the same nice young man helped us out. He renewed my spirit that night! We finally found out where to park and then tried to find our room! Ugg, small town folk, it is hard! We were so lost, my husband left again to find someone to help us. It was kind of a maze for us. I was overly tired and started crying like a cranky toddler. He came back, we found our room and went to sleep.
This hotel is rather old, but our room was clean, and honestly, we didn't spend a lot of time in here so as long as it was clean and quiet, I was happy. If you want a really upscale room, this hotel will be satisfy you. But if yo are on a budget and just need a place to crash, this is your hotel! If we didn't have a rental car I would not have wanted to stay here because the strip is long enough to walk without having to walk to the hotel afterwards.
We had a great time in Las Vegas and the Rio was an economical choice for us. No resort or parking fees which can rack up! There is a fee for wi-fi but we jsut used our phones for everything.
Seafood buffet was a let down. We heard amazing things about it and decided to spend the money (expensive) , we were disappointed. Of course, we come from the coast where we have amazing seafood, so this was not up to par in the least. I would not recommend it. Everything else was good.
We would stay here again!
