| - We stayed here recently on a trip to see friends, and Rio had the best deal of the nearby hotels. The "deluxe suite" is just a bigger, regular room, not at all a suite, but it was still a decent deal and we got a view of the Strip.
Other than the buffet, there aren't too many exciting restaurants. We only ate at Smashburger, which was overpriced. That area of the casino is a little sad and run down, with cheapy souvenir shops and empty storefronts. No arcade or kid-friendly activities in the hotel. This is an older hotel and one of the hotels that still offers free, abundant parking.
We didn't get to use the pool, but it looked awesome from our view! Several, spacious pools, a waterfall, and fake "beaches" with waves. Would love to try it out next time.
Nothing special about this one, but if it's the best deal for the weekend and you don't have expectations, you won't go wrong! Or if you just want to see Chippendale's posters of shirtless men everywhere. That's a reason to book, too.
