text: Rio has an average of stars here on Yelp and I think that sounds about right nnMy expectations are usually higher for nonstrip hotels because there is so much to see and do on the strip why would I want to go off the beaten pathnnRoom deals or should I say suite deals since Rio is an allsuites hotel Their price is pretty decent but you get what you pay for The rooms could use some upgrades For this stay they ran out of queen doubles so we had to settle for a King with a pullout It was not so bad We had to call housekeeping for the mattress cover and pillows It took them half an hour to fulfill our requestnnTheres mini bar for you midnight munchies and a mini fridge to keep your booze chilled Who does not like pregaming right nnAs for food options they have buffets Carnival World Seafood and Indian For your Asian cravings there is Pho Da Nang and a dimsum place And then there is the BK burger barnnThe casino itself was not too bad The female cocktail servers are scantily clad and double as gogo dancers on stage Various game options and the minimums here seem to be lower compared to some strip casinosnnParking is not to bad either We opted for the Carnival Garage and it is closer than the other one Do not make the first right on Rio drive got to the next one instead
