Agreed. I wish they'd pick up something like Wynn or even something downtown for that matter.

I ended up booking Palazzo on 12/31 to use up our AMEX FHR credit from last year. I would have loved to have paired that with something Hyatt friendly. Instead we booked Circa for three nights. I would not book Rio short of a full renovation down to the studs and a complete revamp of the property. We went to see Penn and Teller at Rio on our last trip, and I just can't imagine staying there overnight. Even the public areas were in sad shape and parts of the casino looked completely dead on a Saturday night.
