The Wine Cellar is an enchanting wine bar located a floor below the casino in the Rio. I stumbled upon this place while I was waiting for the Penn and Teller show. Once you walk down the stairs you feel like you've been warped to a gorgeous wine cellar in Napa, it's like walking into a different world from the casino. The walls are lined with beautifully displayed wine racks filled with wine and the lighting sells the "underground cellar" feel.
You can choose to sit at the bar or one of many inviting couches, armchairs, and bistro tables. The menu offers many flights of differing varietals and varying prices. Flights come with a basket of varying breads and of course some water to cleanse the palate.
If you're in the Rio, I insist you take a break from the bustle and noise of the casino and slow it down with a flight of wine...or two ;)
