The true spirit of Carnaval flows through the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas, one of the most exciting and lively spots to stay during your next Vegas vacation. When you’re at the Rio, there’s always a party going on!
Appearance
Right off the Strip, the Rio Hotel and Casino is full of the wild and exotic energy of its namesake city. And you know from the beautifully decorated spacious rooms close to the Carnaval masks and “Masquerade Show in the Sky” above the casino area, that your stay at the Rio will be unforgettable.

Entertainment is never in short supply at the Rio, and guests can enjoy a wide variety of shows, from the ever-popular antics of Penn & Teller to the bachelorette party fun of the Chippendale’s. To beat the Vegas heat, dive into one of Rio’s four grand swimming pools (one even has a sandy bottom), or, to work off some steam, visit the Health Club, relax at the pamper-ready Spa, or take a shopping walk through the resort’s selection of shops and boutiques.
Dining
In true Rio de Janeiro spirit, the Rio Hotel and Casino is no exception when it comes to good eating. Many a meal can be found throughout the hotel, and whatever your tastebuds are craving, there’s definitely something for you here.
Dining options at the Rio include Antonio's Ristorante, Café Martorano, Gaylord, Búzios, VooDoo Steak & Lounge, All-American Bar & Grille, Sao Paulo Cafe, Hamada Asiana, Carnival World Buffet, Lucky Strike Lanes, Starbucks, The Village Seafood Buffet, the Tilted Kilt, Baskin-Robbins, Wetzel's Pretzels, Mah Jong, Sports Kitchen, and the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Eat up!
Gambling
The casino at the Rio truly is a totally unique experience, taking the Carnaval theme one step further with the free “Masquerade in the Sky” show, in which real gambling hall patrons ride aboard suspended floats high above the casino floor.
When you come down from your wild ride, explore the wonders of this huge 120,000 square foot casino, watching your bets and wagers fly in a rousing game of Blackjack, a risky roll of the dice at Craps, or a choice between red and black on the Roulette wheel. Other casino favorites include 1621 Slots, Keno, Poker, and a 170-seat Race and Sports book boasting 120 TVs and three big screens.
