This is for the restaurant, although the views at the lounge are also equally awesome although I didn't care for the crowd myself. I went here for dinner with my Dad after an afternoon at Las Vegas Speedway for a track-day event a while back. The Rio is probably my favorite place to stay in Las Vegas for the price, although I had never been to this restaurant. This is easily in my top 5 dining experiences that I've ever been to - and that's saying something considering I live in San Francisco. I had the sea bass which was one of the best meals I can ever remember having it was one of the most unique tasting dishes as well. I've gotten sea bass quite a few places and haven't ever experienced anything close. The price wasn't bad considering other options in Las Vegas and for the quality of food it's unbeatable. Very professional staff and the ambiance of the place is very comfortable. The view is absolutely amazing as well! Highly recommend, there are a lot of places to check out in Las Vegas but you'd be passing up a great gem if you never checked this place out.

This place has the smallest collection of happy hour drinks! The bartender (Ciara) was not the greatest but I know she tried her hardest. I didn't get to eat any food because their beer was cloudy and flat which made me think twice about ordering. There was a group of loud obnoxious people when I went and the bartender admitted that this was the norm for this bar. So I won't be returning. 2 stars for the cheapest happy hour draft beer in town.

Do not buy the dinner and a show package to include this steakhouse. Immediately after our server found out we were ordering from the "limited menu" his entire demeanor changed, he was extremely rude as if insulted we by our combo dinner and show. We were treated very bad and the food was also bad. Both our steaks were crispy and burnt. Do not eat here especially with the dinner and a show package. We complained to the manager and he also seemed indifferent.

I really, really liked this place. Great tacos, amazing prices, nice staff. I went 3 times and loved it! UNTIL... I was waiting at the bar and saw that they recycle the salsa. Meaning, they put 3 pots of salsa on your table for your tacos. When you're done eating (and dipping your fork into these the pots), the salsa bowls go back to the ledge between seating and kitchen, they top up the bowls and re-serve to other tables. Meaning, you are served the same salsa that other people were dipping into. I witnessed this happening consistently for 30 minutes, I would not make these allegations unless I was certain. That just turns my stomach! Isn't this against health codes??? I can't go back knowing what I know. If they stop recycling their salsa (which was yummy salsa), I'll be back in a second AND I'll delete this review. I'll write a 4-5 start rating instead, because that's what the place deserves. Deal?
