WOW my Birthday Bash at the RIO was far above my expectations! There were abut 700+ people held in the RIO Convention Center with a Safari theme. RIO shot outlines of animals on to the walls - these outlines were huge and incredible! The ballons also had safari look-center piece roses with bird of paradise - went to the oldest person at each table. The dinner - WOW including champagne and the Cake WOW tiered unbelieveable - I have never been treated so incredibly well!! Also 100+ gift giveaways and yes a Birthday Gift - crystal bowl just beautiful!! All comp as a special invitation for the Birthday month!! As for gambling the SLOTS were very tight both at RIO and Harrah's maybe because Harrah's is buying up everything in site!! ha ha I went to a little Casino Casino Royale very loose machines had a ball and than to Wynn oh yes everything you have seen is true - this place is incredible from the fountains, flowers to the Casino. However, I was surprise how unimpressive their Hotel Lobby oh well can't have everything. Machines so so found a penny machine hit twice over $150 each time not bad. But I decided to walk from Harrah's to Wynn - don't do this - when you look at Wynn you think it is close - WRONG!! took taxi back - if you are a "walker" you'll enjoy it!! But my love is and probably will always be RIO WOW what a place!! I love it and yes you need to be a Party Animal!! Now my trip is actually during birthday to Laughlin Harrah's will come back with that report also. :cool:

I like the Rio, too. :D My daughter and I stayed there for 5 days last summer. Rooms are large although the decor is dull :o unless you can an upgrade. Pool area is great fun. 5 pools to choose from. Voodoo Lounge is fun and great view of the strip. Any place you eat at the Rio is good. Toscani's is really good and not too expensive. Two buffets and a great Italian restaurant. Show in the sky is unique, :( but it gets boring after a while. Great shows, Scintas, Ron Lucas, etc. Hubby and I will be there for 4 days during Halloween. Expecting it to be a blast. Dee from Texas
