Sounds like people's reviews are divided between which tower they were in. I was in the happy fun tower (Ipanasomethingorother). The room was HUGE and really nice. We had huge windows that had a view of the hotel and pools (which were closed since it was December). We also went to the Voodoo lounge, which was a lot of fun (though I was pretty drunk as that was the end of the evening for us . .. but I do recall that being on the roof was AMAZING). There's a free shuttle to all the other Harrah's resorts. The restaurants, gambling, and shops in the Rio are only okay, but the room is great, and a lot cheaper than other hotels. We didn't spend much of our time at the Rio itself. The room? 5 stars. The rest of the place? 2 stars. It averages out.
