Where's the hot water? We just checked in from a long drive from the Bay Area and can't get a decent shower! Geez!
How many times have I stayed at the Rio? Too many times...I stopped counting. At least the Ipanema Tower is better from years ago. They still need to renovate that Masquerade Tower though. The pet friendly tower just isn't cool. C'mon, I know you might miss your pugsy wugsy, poodsy woodsy, or something but please, it's Vegas, leave your pets at home or a Pet Hotel. I don't need the scent of dog in the room you just checked out of and I just checked into. That is if I am unfortunate enough to get stuck in the Masquerade Tower.
Mini fridges are located in the rooms which makes it quite convenient to load a private stock of beer and drinks, that are far cheaper, from the grocery store than from the minibar.
The pools here aren't bad either. They get nice and sunny. A lot of kiddies sometimes but OK for the most part. As far as eating establishments, I would recommend only Mah Jong and Sports Deli. VooDoo Lounge for the view. I think the others are just OK... You can find better value and better taste from similar restaurants around Vegas.
Oh yeah, where's the VIP Diamond love? Where's my complimentary water when I check in? And, Diamond Registration Rep's, just cause someone looks cruddy after a long drive doesn't mean we aren't working hard to make ourselves Diamond year-after-year!!! Don't ask who we are but how we are! Thou shall not judge others on appearances alone...the Diamond look comes later!
