On Sat 2/20/11, we caught the shuttle from Harrah to Rio.
This place is 2 1/2 miles from the "Strip" and 2 1/2 times as smokey. There is only one "Sex-in-the-City" console in there. There are some tiny little shops and stores. A modified food court including a wetzels pretzels. [...lackluster...] yay. It just seemed kind of run down and junky.
On the upside, I won 2-for-1 drinks at the I-Bar.
We tried our luck there and did pretty well. I made a purchase at some overpriced store. I ate a wetzel pretzel dog. We hopped the shuttle back to the strip where the ACTION was.
An utterly unremarkable experience.
