"Reopened after closing in March 2020, Rio’s Wine Cellar and Tasting Room in the resort’s Masquerade Village was revitalized by Dreamscape Companies and now offers a Tuscany-inspired, cave-like space for wine and spirit tastings accompanied by charcuterie plates and cheeses such as French Brie, creamy Camembert, and Hook’s 12-year-aged cheddar; the room houses an impressive public collection of roughly 10,000 bottles valued at more than $10 million, ranging from everyday wines to ultra-expensive vintages." - Janna Karel
"In the midst of a rebirth, the resort feels dramatically refreshed: a new LED exterior display signals new ownership (Dreamscape Companies, which took over from Caesars Entertainment in October) and a wave of renovations has followed, from refurbished pool and poolside menus to the transformation of the buffet into the Canteen Food Hall; management says essentially everything in the property is being touched and multiple new restaurants (including six yet-to-be-announced concepts) will roll out in the coming months." - Ryan Slattery
"After Dreamscape Companies bought the Rio building and officially took over operations in October 2023, the property's immediate focus was reopening and increasing staffing; that effort included replacing part of the former buffet footprint with the Canteen Food Hall near the entrance, and additional upcoming changes include a Starbucks opening in the middle of the casino on February 5 and a completely redone pool area slated to launch the first week of March." - Janna Karel
"As an off-Strip casino that's been open for more than 30 years, the Rio long missed out on Caesars' big reinvestments; after being sold to Dreamscape Companies in December 2019 for $516.3 million, I've seen plans to renovate its rooms, pool decks, and casino space, and the property is finally getting some much-needed TLC — including replacing the longtime Carnival World Buffet with the new Canteen Food Hall." - Janna Karel
