| - Usually I stay at the Mirage but last year I stayed there five times too many, so I decided to stay at the Rio because it was comped!
Now it's time for a change of scenery, even though I'm treated there like a VIP and receive high floors with strip views for free and have my own line for buffets and check ins.
Speaking of checking in, the Rio needs to organize their Hotel Registration area and create a separate line for Diamond, Platinum and Seven Stars vs the regular Joe's (Gold Tier), the person in front of me flipped out because the person assisting the registration area let 2 people from the VIP line check in before us. Talk about lack of organization!
This hotel may not be up to date with some of the other Harrah's hotels (Caesar's Palace, Paris, and Planet Hollywood) but it gets the job done, plus all the rooms are suites. So more room for, ME! My suite included: 2 Queen Beds (No Bedbugs), Wifi, Sitting area for guests, A huge bath with a separate shower and toilet with a second separate shower and toilet, I thought was pretty odd. Also a refrigerator for drinks and snacks and a Keurig Coffee maker.
Although the suite was not up to date, along with the whole resort, it was incredibly clean and did it's job. Hurray for the Rio! I didn't get to see Show in the Sky but it looked corny too me. =l I didn't have time to try any of their restaurants because I checked in around 10pm and I was moving to the Orleans the next day for a slot tourney. I didn't get to spend too much time around the Rio, other then the Casino where the drink waitresses were friendly. I will definitely give Rio another try, if my room is comped or is deep discounted.
CARNIVAL!
