Rough Guide "While not nearly as fashionable as it used to be, The Rio still makes a reasonable attempt to rival the Strip giants."
Fodor's "In Brazil, Rio is party central, and in Las Vegas so is this sprawling resort just west of the Strip." Full review

"The roomy standard suites at the 2,526-room Rio sleep up to five, making them a tremendous deal for small groups." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Perfect for visitors who want the total resort experience without the congestion of the Strip."
Time Out "In a bid to appeal to a younger audience, the all-suites Rio hired Prince to play here in 2006 and 2007, while Pure Management Group brought in hipster bowling lounge Lucky Strike Lanes." Full review
Star Service "This place is pitched to partiers, from the Voodoo Lounge on the 51st floor to the floor show on the ceiling of the casino. " Full review
Gayot "This hotel doesn't lack for creature comforts. Just check out the 2,563 spacious suites, sprawling 120,000-square-foot casino and eighteen-hole championship Rio Secco Golf Club."
BlackBook "The Rio is an all-suite hotel: Rooms are done in light, buttery tones and all have refrigerators and separate seating areas."
Lonely Planet "This Carnaval-themed hotel just off the Strip attracts families, poker players and bachelor/ette parties." Full review
Zagat "Decked out with hoop chandeliers, an open kitchen, colorful Day of the Dead decor and a long bar, this vibrant stop within the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino turns out traditional Mexican fare." Full review

Rough Guide "The rates are not bad for such well-equipped rooms."
Frommer's "As long as prices hold true (as always, they can vary), this hotel is one of the best bargains in town, despite the location." Full review
DK Eyewitness "French Quarter-themed hotel, with green-shuttered windows and wrought-iron balconies."
Time Out "The theme at the Orleans is more Disneyland than French Quarter. Still, the locals don't seem to mind, mostly because the Vegas-style action is very real." Full review
Star Service "Wedged between Home Depot and Adult Emporium, this locale is far from ideal, but inside the hotel the mood is lively, riffing on Mardi Gras 24/7." Full review
Gayot "When this resort opened in December 1996, it had 810 rooms and 30 suites in a 21-story tower."
BlackBook "The Orleans' Big Easy theme is largely outside, with the enormous, boxy casino painted up as pastel row houses with wrought-iron balconies."
Zagat3.7
"An "excellent" West of Strip option that has "just about anything you want to do"."
Lonely Planet "Tastefully appointed French-provincial rooms are good-value 'petite suites,' with fitness center access, on-site childcare, a movie theater and a bowling alley." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A bargain by Las Vegas casino standards. This Mardi Gras-themed hotel is a short shuttle ride west of the Strip. Families will find plenty to amuse kids here." Full review
