In this in-depth video, Show Me Vegas returns to the Rio Las Vegas to explore its ambitious transformation under new ownership. Once a hot spot turned forgotten relic, the property is now undergoing major renovations thanks to Dreamscape. From a remodeled suite in the Ipanema Tower to a revitalized lobby and bright, modern casino floor, the changes are evident—and impressive.
The video dives into amenities like the 24-hour gift shop, revamped dining options in the Canteen Food Hall, and updated gaming experiences. A visit to the Lapa Lounge showcases live music and cocktail deals, while a trip through the casino reveals sleek carpet designs, new slot machines, and modest table game minimums. Even legacy eateries like Hash House A Go Go remain, now joined by modern venues like Kang’s Kitchen.
Still, not everything is perfect. Some areas of the hotel remain under construction or feel dated, and the off-strip location requires a car or rideshare. Despite those drawbacks, Show Me Vegas concludes that Rio has strong potential to reclaim its former glory if Dreamscape continues delivering on its plans.
