Evel Knievel Museum Tours and Activities

I was hesitant to stay at the Rio after seeing some negative reviews on social media and elsewhere. However, I was incredibly pleased with the cost of the stay compared to its value. I chose a King room in the Masquerade tower, this is the tower that has not been recently renovated. I expected the worse. - I was completely wrong. The hotel, elevator, hallways and room were all clean and smelled clean, unlike some budget hotels (Excalibur, Circus Circus etc.). The room was HUGE, the bed was incredibly soft and it was hard to get up from my mid day naps lol. The staff was incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable. I even had a package delivered here and their facility was closed, they sent someone to grab it for me. They were upfront with pricing letting my know that there was a deposit being placed on my card for the length of my stay. The dining options were great as well, the prices were a little pricey, but that's to be expected. The food choices where your typical burger place, chicken tender places, a ramen place and a cheese steak place to name a few. All were around $15-20 a person for a main dish and side, I was given a water cup but its self serve soda machines. I did not spend much time in the casino however it was not inundated with smoke like others. Outside of that, the only downside would be the location away from the main strip. During the summer it would be difficult to walk anywhere and you'd need a car which is an added expense.

Beautiful property. Wonderful staff. Suite was fantastic with oversized tub and comfortable king size bed. Everything was fabulous.
