text: Chi chi chiiiii I love it here Many people really do not appreciate this gem because its off strip But being a local you tend to appreciate these types of casinohotels I love that they offer local discounts Most other places rarely pay homage to the people who actually live in the city of sin but the Rio takes care of us pretty goodnnSure it looks radical with its purple and red lights at night but its really a great place They have many things to do if you are old enough They have a lot of night entertainment such as VooDoo ROOFTOP lounge and Crown nightclub They also have different shows you can go see plus a bowling alley for the kidsnnRio has many different eateries that you can try but when we go we always go to the Carnival World Buffet locals get off and even if you are not a local its still inexpensive I have a yr old and they do not charge him so that is nice nnIve never stood in the hotel rooms so maybe one day I can review them It is a big casino and they have good slots also They waitresses are also very personable and attentive unlike other placesnnI will def go back and think you should give it a try even if it is off strip
