Stayed: July, 2008 After approx 25 other stays in Vegas, I wanted to try The Rio. Tons of great recommendations. Everything was great except for the pool scene. The pool is actually one of the reasons I wanted the Rio. Just before I left, I read on LVA there was a problem with one of the pools being closed. I called to verify this because the pool was important. I was told there were NO PROBLEMS AND THEY WERE ALL OPEN. (WRONG)(WRONG)(WRONG). Well the big main pool WAS CLOSED as I read about in the LVA, why was I told they were all open???? the 3 days I stayed 7/14-7/17. Why was I told by multiple HET and RIO people there was no pool problems????? What was left?, the kids sand pool?? and the adjacent pool??? WOW. The Sapphire pool? $40?? Please?? I am not anti kids, I raised a few of my own, but my son (24) and I had issues with the Disney World idiot crowd. This is Las Vegas not Orlando. I thought the Rio had more of the 25,30,40, year old crowd???I do get it, but I came to the RIO because we thought the pool seen wouldn't be 1,2,3,4,5,6, year olds kicking and trying to learn to swim. What put me off the most were people with their infants in Pamper diapers, bouncing them in the pools. I raised 2 kids and I know what's in those diapers and I'm suppose to enjoy my beer or cocktail at the pool knowing that. Another major complaint is the hot tubs, first of all, they were not hot. l temp.at best was approx 85-95 I've owned one for over 25 years. Get it to at least 101++++. It's a hot tub not a swimming pool for the Disney kids to go into without their parents. My total 3 days at the pool and tubs were brutal at best. Another thing, they do not have Budweiser products at Rio pool.The internet Voodoo pool menu is WRONG. |
