If you are looking for a comfortable place to go enjoy some good wines, this would be an excellent choice. The Wine Cellar at The Rio is a good place to stop in for drinks either before of after going to dinner in Vegas and has become one of our regular stops when we go to Vegas.
The Wine Cellar is located downstairs from the Masquerade Village in the The RIO. You really need to look for it to find it. The Wine Cellar keeps the noise from the casino floor to a minimum so you can sit and enjoy your wine.
Once you get downstairs, you'll find yourself inside an actual wine cellar where you can either sit at the bar or plop yourself down in one of the several couches they have there.
There is a wide variety to choose from. You can order wine by the glass or if you're up for experimenting a little, one of the several wine flights they have.
We trusually get the flights when we visit there. Surprisingly, we found the prices pretty reasonable and the pours rather generous.
There is a limited menu of cheese and snacks if you want a little something to nibble on with your wine.
The servers are pretty friendly and knowledgeable and are always willing to make some suggestions if you are having trouble picking out a wine.
