This place was worse than mediocre. And incredibly overpriced. Their website lists the average price per person as $15, which is total bollocks since nothing on the menu is under $15, it seems. Way overpriced for what you get and the service was incredibly slow.\n\nWe had a friend in from out of town, so we went to see Penn & Teller. We thought we'd get a nice bite before we saw the show, but didn't feel like going the \"fine dining\" route. So we stopped in here around 7pm on a Wednesday night and waited about 5-10 minutes before we were seated, which was fine.\n\nThe menu was weirdly limiting. One steak, one chicken dish, one fish dish. Caesar salad with shrimp, steak or chicken. A couple kinds of soup. Potato skins and bar food. I didn't notice any burgers or sandwiches or pastas... nothing a well rounded place would serve. The Rio website indicated this was kind of a casual steakhouse, whereas the reality is more of a sports bar, hence the bar food and limited dining room menu.\n\nWe finally got our orders in, then sat for 29 minutes without so much as a basket of bread (which we finally had to ask for since we were starving) when the table next to us, seated after we were, had already enjoyed bread, salad and were digging into their entrees. I had to ask the waiter to go back and check on our food, which he brought out a few minutes later. Two caesar salads and a grilled chicken breast took 35 minutes.\n\nWe asked if there was a locals discount and he said no, that we had to be club members. Since it's a Caesar's resort, we had one of those cards and he agreed to give us a discount, which I appreciated given the situation. It came out to be like $14 off, which tempered the ridiculously high price for a Caesar salad a bit.\n\nI'd never eat here again and wouldn't recommend it unless a friend was staying at the hotel and couldn't venture anywhere else. I'm sure it's fine for a beer and a hot dog or nachos while you're watching the game, but with a place that's made up mostly of restaurant tables, it's not much of a restaurant.
