| - I rate hotels in Las Vegas different from most hotels because when I stay at a hotel in Las Vegas I gamble there, I eat there, I'll usually go to the nightclub or lounge there and possibly shop there. I might go to other establishments for anything I mentioned above but it's nice if I don't have to.
All the rooms at the Rio are considered suites. They are large but pretty much an over sized room with a large couch and coffee table. They say all the rooms are the same but I didn't have a refrigerator in my room every time.
I love the buffets here but the last several times I stayed here the Seafood Buffet was closed for remodeling. It has reopened though and was well worth the money. I believe it's at 38 bucks now
but well worth it. The Carnival Buffet is great too. This buffet is divided into sections of the different ethnicity's and types of food. You'll have Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Japanese (sushi included,) pizzas, salads, etc.
Keep in mind if you gamble at the Harrah's Properties which include the Rio, Caesars, Harrah's, Paris, Bally's, the Flamingo and the Imperial Palace and you happen to be Platinum Status or higher, you will be able to go into a separate line...sometimes immediate seating when the normal line is an hour or longer. This should be true for all the buffets at the above mentioned properties.
Normally, I wouldn't mention the swimming pool but here at the Rio, don't expect to relax and kick back. It's quite loud with music blasting and people dancing and drinking all over the pool area. If you're up for drinking and partying it's great but there's no laying out to relax here.
Here's one of the few places I stay in Las Vegas and I don't go dancing here. I don't care too much for the Voo Doo Lounge. If you're going out to meet people, the Voo Doo Lounge isn't very big. If you're just going out to drink and have fun with friends then it's great and has a nice view of the strip.
If you're staying at the Rio and planning on going to the Voo Doo Lounge on a Friday night you can go to the concierge desk and ask for passes. If they have them they'll give the to you for free.
There's not too much shopping here but if you want to go to Caesars and you don't want to want to deal with driving and parking you can take the free shuttle outside of the Carnival Buffet area. You can also head to the other Harrah's properties with the shuttles.
