Rio Hotel & Casino has refreshed its 117,000 square-foot casino floor and is offering more instant perks through its Rio Rewards players club.
Completing the latest step of its ongoing transformation, Rio has a new dedicated baccarat room with eight baccarat tables and two blackjack tables. The revamped casino space includes 800 of the latest slot machines and 40 table games.
"The newly reimagined casino floor represents an exciting milestone," said Grant Rogers, vice president of casino operations. "Our vision has always been to deliver a gaming experience that feels modern, approachable and rooted in value. With low table minimums, generous rewards and a vibrant atmosphere, we're bringing back the spirit of classic Vegas, refreshed for today's guest."
As a way to acknowledge the property's past, the iconic showgirl Rio Rita has returned to the casino floor. She interacts with guests from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
