Cheap AM poker tourny. Great slots! Steak and beer deal is super!

Another good place to chuck dice and play cards on the high min Fri/Sat nights. If we're not at the Cal, we're here in the same state of drunkeness...and probably getting worse. At least we haven't been thrown out of this place yet. Only draw back is it can be tuff to get a cab back to Planet HO-Ho at 2am

I like the Gold Coast. When I stay at the Rio and the limits get out of hand, I know I can stumble across the street and get $5 Craps and Blackjack all day long. When I want the amenities of a Strip casino, all I have to do is head back over to the Rio or Plams across the street.

My balls itch.

good job harah's

I love the Rio. The rooms are HUGE. and the room prices are pretty cheap most of the time. The pool is on par with any in Las Vegas. The Show in the Sky is great with all the scantily clad ladies and the drink service is great also. Love the Wine Cellar.

VooDoo baby!

Fun Fun Fun! What can you say bad about Mardi Gras? And don't forget the Voodoo Lounge....Fantastic!

I loved the Rio especially the suites. I am the type of person that loves space even though I always go to Vegas alone. The casino was cool also ; they had a few of my favorite games.

I like the casino, the rooms are nice and roomy and coctail service is fair as well.

Rooms were big. I like that! The cocktail waitress uniforms are HOT! I think they don't hire waitresses that are over 35. There were a couple of male cocktail servers in the mix. That was a first for me (I guess Harrah's is being EOE). Drink service sucked on all shifts except swing. I also went to Ghost Bar and ran into a DJ I know from Hawaii. The food, hmmm I know I tried the seafood buffet and ate nine clusters of snow crab. I will definitely stay here again. Update: Ate at the Carnival World Buffet. It was worth the comp! Saw Penn

Neat! Home of the WSOP what else can you say.

I will be staying at the Rio my 3rd time this September. You can't beat it on a hoilday weekend. The pool is just crowded enough, but not so crowded you can't get a chair. The view from the Voodoo is the best in Vegas, and with the free shuttles every half hour to Caesar's, Bally's/Paris/,

I haven't stayed there, so this rating is for the buffet, the dealers (even though 1 deck black jack killed me) and because Penn

The slots were alright, the host at Voodoo Steak was a pompous ass who gave the old "we can have a table for you at 9:30" excuse even though with it being 6 pm on a Saturday evening, they probably could have easily sat me at the bar. Thankfully the hosts at the All American Bar and Grill were much more accommodating. Sat me with no problem at all, and saved me some $$$, as it was half of what it would have cost me had I gotten a seat at Voodoo Steak.

Stayed once, in the Big Kahuna Suite, with my friend the High Roller. That rocked.Nothing else about this place does, though. I may try the new ibar when I come out in Vegas.

The Rio has nice big comfortable rooms and a big fun casino although drink service didn't seem to be as good as other Harrah's properties. Every Vegas newbie should make the trip to see the Carnival show in the casino. On the downside, slots are tight, table minimums can be surprisingly high, and there aren't enough places to grab good cheap eats. (Maybe walk to the Palms which has a food court.)

Didnt stay but really nice a roomy inside. Loved the high ceilings and open ares.

All Suite Hotel....
One night at this place changed the last 2+ years of my life...
Thats my attachment to this place..

I've stayed at the Rio several times. The Rio is slowing going downhill. Rooms are big, but are beginning to show their age. Voodoo lounge was fun before they went the way of the bottle service required to sit down. Masquerade show is still fun and the bevertainers are still fun to watch. They have a wide variety of restaurants. I've been to most of them and they are all pretty good, although, I'm not much of a buffet fan for anything except breakfast. Favorite restaurants are Buzios and Morterano's. RUB wasn't as good as I thought it would be. We saw Penn and Teller. I loved it. Mrs. Fox fell asleep. Have had great luck in the casino, but not any more. Table minimums have gotten too high. They took out most of the slots we liked and they ones that are left don't pay like they used to pay. They also ruined the pool by making their best pool into a stripper pool with a daily cover charge. All in all, no longer worth the inconvenience of an off-strip location IMO.

Wife booked the trip on the advise of an AMEX travel advisor (had to use the points up). let's say this for the Rio...nice size room, GREAT buffet..pool decent, when we went there were WAY too many kids around. ZERO nightlife at this place.

On my list for two reasons only. 1) It's where the WSoP is; 2) I hit a Royal Flush playing 5x$5 VP here.
