Today, as I saw someone mentioned in a north america Chinese travelers FB group, also confirmed from the cashier, however as I was sitting at the bar, two people are able to have it to go, maybe not all staff got the memo

i didn�t come for breakfast today but always seated at the bar too.

Talked little bit with the people working here and they all know there is a problem especially how young are most of the people taking away to get 2 kids. Pretty sure they will also be way more strict at checked in (and it�s a good thing).

There's something amusing about a casino not being able to foresee people gaming the system.

what is also sad is that because of people gaming the system they will potentially remove some benefits. They already started as the breakfast was till 4.

Are you one of the Chinese like myself and others as well at the bar ? Practically I mean when you see they are Chinese and single they are globalist already lol. I did meet two white guys they are globalists but also on flyertalk (they said they read but not posters though)

frenchft

nope. Not Chinese or Asia. But really wonder why they are so many Chinese single here (but taking away for 4). Everybody wonder. Been on some community groups or ?

Big question is if this will work out long term for Dreamscape. I remember what happened with Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City.

Right now with Rio having next to no customer database, they get value. Long term, I wouldn't be surprised it they migrate to calling the VIP players lounge a Regency Club to scale the costs more appropriately. Especially when you figure that uptake on a Regency Club breakfast would be orders of magnitude less than the current breakfast.

Ocean is in a little different situation though, it is on the boardwalk, which the AC Jitney shuttle stop there directly connect to other casinos and the AC NJ transit train station, so people can get there easily with or without any affiliation to a hotel brand.

Whereas Rio start from scratch after being years of neglect, had a bad reputation all around, no visitors go there not even the locals, so a customer base don't even exist, also it is completely disconnected from the strip. It is too early to tell what happened long term with Rio and Dreamscape, not to mention Rio is still in the middle of major renovation, it will be two years down the road to see if anything improve, but in the meantime, giving out freebies to Hyatt globalist is the only way to gain some of that back, not to mention it bridges the gap that with Dream is being delayed due to lack of funding

Lost $1,000 gambling at Rio between two stays so that should pay for some Globalist breakfasts.

Seeing reports in real-time how a benefit is being abused and rules modified in an attempt to curb them.

The $20/night weekday rates have disappeared a couple of days ago.

The cheapest ones for the next few months start at $45/night. There's still $35/night later in the year during Q4.

I think there's quite a few $23/night available past August with the AAA rate (which still earns EQN/points). Basically anything that shows up on the Rio website calendar at $35/night is $23/night through Hyatt.

Actually look further August goes back down again, doesn't even need to go as far as Q4, this could also related to conventions, I had mentioned upthread about Vegas hotels rates are largely related to conventions schedules.

I will mention again, people seem to ignored the fact that Vegas is one of the three major convention cities in the US, I saw many Vegas FB groups that there are often people asked why a stretch of dates with rates are higher than normal despite it is not weekend, events only last a day or two but conventions last up to a week as there are people that are exhibitors often come a day or two to set up before the convention starts, and there are large conventions from 50,000 attendees up to over 100,000, when the strip hotels filled up, it will spill to off strip properties as well

I think that�s because Rio has internal offers for players that lower or comp their rates.

Unfortunately according to Hyatt booking on Riolasvegas.com is not an eligible rate.

Also, if anyone bothered to read the paper inside their room it provides a discount code for 30% off a future stay, only bookable on Rio�s site not Hyatt.

This morning I booked a week at the end of April Sun-Fri. Thursday night is $45(ish), the other nights were $35(ish). Granted this was before your post, but I wouldn't say $35 nights are gone completely, prices change often.
