| - Overall, it is middle of the road for me. I brought my dog with me on a long road-trip with stop-overs in Vegas and there is only a handful of hotels that allow dogs. I actually would give 3 1/2 stars but appears to be no half measures with Yelp. Sooo...
What I liked: Allows dogs. They allow them and allow us to be up farther than the 1st floor. Not much farther to the 4th but my room actually looked out over the road and I could see the strip. They give amenities like bowls and a bag full of treats upon check in which is nice. Also on several occasions, staff offered me more individual treats when out walking him.
I didn't eat there except for BK so I can't review food.
Did not like: As with all casinos, the smoke is overwhelming. And that reminds me, my pet-safe room was supposed to be non-smoking but someone must have been smoking in there for a while because the lingering smoky smell was powerful. Don't get in the way of Grannies and walkers because they will run your butt over. That said, it didn't appear to be any older than any other casino.
Myeh: Penn and Teller show is there. Nice theater with a good view of the stage but up in the mezz. section, you couldn't really see what was going on in the up close tricks and they don't project anything on screens so much is lost.
Liked: It appears that they are really chasing the younger crowd because there were lots of dancer tables with young women dancing, with a big set area by the masquerade tower. While I didn'to to Vegas for looking at that, my impression was that they were changing to keep it current but I'm not positive as I rarely go to Vegas (3rd time in my life). It had a good energy to it all
Myeh: location wasn't terrible but wasn't good if you're comparing it to the Strip. You're a free shuttle ride away to a central location so driving the strip at night is not necessary. Physically, you're approx 1/2 mile or so so walking is an option. They don't allow dogs on the shuttle unless they are work dogs so leave the pooch at the hotel. Reviewing location is difficult but to me, this was better than Circus Circus because to walk the strip at night over a mile to get to the Bellagio to see the show is just nuts.
Liked: The rates and room was great . Dogs get charged an extra $50 so for $94 and $80, I got a (seemingly) monstrous sized room of 600+ sqf. Bathroom is seperate (imagine a big room with a wall placed 2/3 in the middle) but has a small window looking into the shower from the bedroom. Leading to the bathroom is an extra sink with fridge and closet with a safe. My cold water handle was leaking and there was no security latch on the room as it was broken but I forgot to mention this. Overall seemed clean.
Liked: back to dogs. The doggie relief area is actual grass out in front of the hotel. Other areas to walk are around present with bushes, trees and dirt. Compared to Imperial Palace and other Strip located dog friendly hotels, this place was a virtual oasis for the dog. I understand that space for parking is a premium and so on but if you put a pet-friendly hotel out there (Imperial Palace /Harrahs) don't use fake grass and never clean it. No one likes it especially the dogs. Oh, and the room location to the dog area is good at Rio. Not so with the other places mentioned before.
That's enough. Eliminate smell of smoke better, and this place would be given more stars. The staff was friendly and helpful. Total rewards staff was great so use it...I would stay here again absolutely.
