8. Everything about the Hotel was more than adequate The check-in was fast and asking for a specific room was not a hassle We arrived 4 hours ahead of check-in so the bell hops took care of our luggage for us, no problem When we finally got to our room we were very suprised at how large the rooms were They were very clean and the beds were comfortable The casino was fairly large and there were quite a few shops to spend your money at There were lots of shows taking place in the theatre and the disco on the roof top was going all night There was really no need to leave the hotel except for the food pricesThe only negative about the hotel was the price of the buffets We ate all our meals next door at the Gold Coast hotel and casino a 2 minute walk from the Rio A real deal for thier buffet Over all the Rio was well worth the money We are planning another trip back.
