Outside food and drink are not allowed, even for my mother who is celiac and therefore cannot eat a single thing on their poolside menu. Unfortunately it was only open on weekends. The adults only pool was by far the nicest, with cushioned lounge chairs. The beach area was pretty dirty, and full of very young children. One pool was honestly colder than a lake in the mountains. Pool: Nice pools, need to be cleaned more consistently. I really missed being able to buy drinks & snacks at Walgreens on the strip. However, it seems like the Rio uses this as an excuse to gauge you with their prices as you have no other option. Location: We knew it was off the strip, so that was not a surprise. Casino: Slow service, poor ventilation = very smoky compared to others. Oh, and a weird little window between the bathtub and the bedroom area.

Room: We took the upgrade after my brother negotiated his price of $20/night. *We later found out my uncle only paid $10/night. My brother had checked in the night before and reminded the lady at the desk that they only charged him $20/night for the same upgrade. We were not given the room we booked (renovated room, king bed) but were told we could upgrade for an additional $40/night. Even at 12:30 am the line took over 30 minutes. We were there for my brother's wedding, and stayed 3 nights. This was my 6th trip to Vegas, and my husband's 8th. I had low expectations of this hotel to start, as it was significantly less expensive than others in Vegas. We found there is lots to do in Vegas with kids and can definitely recommend it for families. Delicious! The rooms were very clean and well kept and we had plenty of hot water. We stayed on the 15th floor and had a lovely view of Vegas.There was a Keurig coffee maker in the room and since we are budget conscious, we brought our own coffee.

and lots of room for busy boys to run around in. We had two adjoining rooms each with two queen beds, a pull out sofa, computer station, flat screen t.v. We played for hours in the heated family pool and had a super time. There were a couple of other pools, too, but we did not venture in past our toes because the water felt a wee bit cold. Three hot tubs to choose from and a huge heated family pool. The pools are nothing short of terrific! There is a kiddie's pool with a waterfall and a sandy beach. Who takes their kids to Vegas? We did! Grandar, two boys aged 3 and 5 and their parents stayed at the Rio All Suites from May 4 to 9.
