text: Since I was not there for very long this is a review in progress I guess you could say I seemingly take a trip to Vegas each year so next time in town I will hit up Rio and give it another try nnThe GoodnRio is off of the main part of the strip so it has a feel of being its own animal I guess you could say I have not eaten at any of the restaurants but the variety of options is perfect from Caribbean fare to fine seafood then they have this fun looking Indian food place as we walked inBest of many worlds if you ask me Gambling hall looks spacious and spread out evenly and the events center which we saw Penn Teller at was large had a Starbucks for those coffee lovers and a large lobby for all patrons with a bar They have some drink stations as well like Last Call for those whom like the slushy drinks I was not in for very long but I love islandthemed resorts so this place looks slick and worth a try againnnThe BadnI did notice that the pool was small looked extremely small actually So I must have been seeing a side pool I am sureotherwise that is the smallest damn pool why would a Caribbeanthemed casino have a rinkydink pool Hrmm The parking lot was also crazy the structure had no room for our car which forced us to park in the overflow lot I did not mind walking but it was annoying having to drive around to an overflow lot Also the place did not smell overly inviting not sure if it was the cigarette smoke or the cigarette smoke Blech Also just as it is off the strip which is nice it is also difficult getting to all the other action It would be difficult for me to have to drive to the strip each time I want to go down there a lot of worknnThe Down lownOverall this place is fun I was not able to enjoy it and take the entire place in on my trip there mainly because we had the show to catch Next time in Vegas I will try to venture back and view more the casino has to offer I will try to verify the pool situation and see if parking ever gets betteruntil then they will get a generic starsBut that should change
