text: I stayed at the Rio with a conference in July It was dirty musty mildewed the pool was closed a lot during normal hours of operation the food was okay The game floor was rundown dirty stinky like someone crapped their pantsall the time The elevators were often crowded and we had to wait in a mob to get on an elevator There were always long lines at reception and concierge We were there on weekdays The shuttle services was poor always waiting for the second or third shuttle to pick us up from the strip to come back A cab would have been easier and worth the money We had a great rate but it was similar to better kept hotels on the strip I would not ever stay there again with all of the other options in Vegas I only stayed because of the conference or I would have changed hotels after the first night
