just got back from vegas weekend. In my opinion, Rio

has fallen a notch from top level to one level below. Mandalay -The Hotel, venetian, ceasars, bellagio has sorry to say lost the company of the Rio.

the rio can be put in category as palms and hard rock.

Their rooms have gone down hill as well as their service. As a high heeled customer who used to stay at Rio all the time, I can't say I would return. The restaurents have gone down hill too. Buzio used to be great , now only average. Had a terrible meal at the new Indian restaurent. They completely re-arranged the casino and cafe area.

Another thing I found pretty tacty were the bikini clad blackjack tables near the new , or relatively new, Bikini nite club. 90% guys and 10% girls -- seems like chaos reigns at the Rio these days. As for girls in the bar area - none- zippo.
