Great view, good location. Do not really need to leave hotel. A few things need an adjustment. Was able to give feedback to hoteland they were very responsive.

Casino is terrible, hotel was fine
Jun 11, 2025 Chris E
The hotel part was fine. It’s a bit old but in good shape. It’s the casino that’s the problem. Pit bosses are unfriendly and refused to open games even though there was nobody playing at the tables where they were dealers. Minimums were ridiculously high for a place off the strip that hardly had anybody playing. The customer is at least second, if…

Pit bosses are unfriendly and refused to open games even though there was nobody playing at the tables where they were dealers. Minimums were ridiculously high for a place off the strip that hardly had anybody playing. The customer is at least second, if not third, fourth, or fifth. Do not stay here. All the things that used to make Rio great years ago, are gone.

Rio casino and hotel

The hotel and casino is great, the facilities in the hotel were good. It's a bit away from the strip so we got a taxi which was fine, it's only a few dollars. The only negative I have is the room it's very dated and there was a damp smell from the carpet, we got a late check out 4pm so we could shower and freshen up before we travelled home that…

The only negative I have is the room it's very dated and there was a damp smell from the carpet, we got a late check out 4pm so we could shower and freshen up before we travelled home that night only to find the water in our room was gone, they offered to tlchange our room but by that time we didn't have enough time to move room and be ready for our lift. I would return to Rio casino hotel only I would book a newly renovated room.

They need an upgrade.

While less expensive than a resort on the strip, it does not make up for this place’s lackluster experience. The hotel reminded us of an Atlantic City hotel. The lobby and casino are dated. The worst part of our experience was the way they nickel and dime their customers. As a hotel off the strip, they should be doing way more to make their…

While less expensive than a resort on the strip, it does not make up for this place’s lackluster experience. The hotel reminded us of an Atlantic City hotel. The lobby and casino are dated. The worst part of our experience was the way they nickel and dime their customers. As a hotel off the strip, they should be doing way more to make their customers feel OK with their choice.
Our flight was early and we arrived at the hotel around 10 we asked if we could get our room early and they said sure if we were willing to spend $50 extra we said no and then we went back at 12 and they said sure for $25 extra - they told us to come at 1 to avoid any fees. So at 1 PM, they finally gave us our room for no upcharge. It was maddening to think that they had an empty room in their hotel for us at 10, but wouldn’t give it to us unless we paid a cash grab. We then were placed in the part of the hotel that was not renovated but to get a decent room we were offered a $30 a day upcharge. We paid it. The room was very nice.
Because our flight home was not until 9 at night, we asked for a late checkout and were given one until 4 PM for another $50 fee. The hotel is far enough away from the strip that walking is not really an option in the 105 degree heat going along a highway through some sketchy areas so we had to take a cab back and forth. Each cab ride is about $20.
Their pool is nice but the way they run it is another cash grab. The water is frigid even in June so - while refreshing, it is hard to stay in for a long period of time. The free lounge chairs have no shade so you will burn if you play out for more than 15 minutes. If you want an umbrella, there is a major upcharge. You are not allowed to bring in any food or drink forcing you to buy it there.
When all is said and done, the savings from staying here are undone by the charges and taxi fares you pay for not staying on the strip.
They need to upgrade the hotel and offer their customers more in order to make it worthwhile. We will not be staying here again.

New rooms are amazing but the showers are like skating rinks.
Jun 9, 2025 John N
The renovated rooms are amazing. But the shower floor is slippery and is a slip and fall hazard. And there is not much handlebars, or anything to catch yourself on, if it happens. Textured shower surfaces can prevent an injury lawsuit. Please add a Non-Slip flooring in the shower.
