The Rio Reopens With Limited Dining Options on December 22

The final piece of the Caesars Entertainment empire in Las Vegas returns when the Rio reopens on December 22 at 10 a.m.

The casino and resort west of the Strip plans to offer weekend stays, Thursday through Monday, while the gaming floor will be open seven days a week.

The state shut down nonessential businesses including casinos in March and allowed them to reopen on June 4. The Rio reopening marks the final resort to return of all Caesars regional casinos and hotels across the country.

Dining options include All-American Bar & Grille, Hash House A Go Go, one Starbucks, VooDoo Steak, and the Sports Deli. Shutters Bar, iBar, Purple Zebra Daiquiri Bar, the Race & Sports Book Bar, and Masquerade Bar all reopen as well.

The resort reveals a new William Hill Sports Book on reopening day with self-service sports betting kiosks and an expanded betting menu.

Beloved magicians Penn & Teller also return.

For opening week, the resort will offer hotel reservations seven days a week December 23 through January 3, 2021.

Self-parking at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino will remain free, but the valet will remain closed at this time.
