Might be true... but when I checked a number of days throughout July and beginning of August on harrahs.com they seemed to have rather good availability. Yes, I think RIO is busier than it would regularly be during the summer... but def. not sold out. Of course, pricing might be higher... though, my regular comp or very discounted rooms popped up without any problems (during that period).

well.. there always is the Orleans...

anyway, a lot of folks have cars.. so, I am certain these properties are more booked than usual, but probably NOT sold out.
Anyway, this is more the reason why a weekend room at Palms will NOT be discounted during that period.
