The Rio use to be my favorite in LV. I really miss those days!!

Off the strip, The Vodoo Lounge, and the "outfits" and buffets (when I was in to buffets!) . Nice large rooms and very reasonable prices.

Unfortunately the Rio seemed in need for a room update that never came. I could excuse that but I had two consecutive very poor service trips.

Including a wait of 2.5 hours for a hamburger from room service.

So I went from a 5 times a year guest at the Rio to a once a year visit to the Vodoo Lounge to celebrate a special occasion.

THE Hotel gets my current visits on the strip and JW Marriott w-a-y off the strip.

I can understand why many folks still love Rio
