Get ready, Las Vegas, the Whopper is going to class this joint up. The self-proclaimed king of American fast-food burgers is expanding its empire this week with the Whopper Bar, a restaurant inside the Rio featuring their classic patties with a slew of customizable options, like A.1. Steaksauce, pepper bacon, bleu cheese and guac. The possibilities are endless! Well, not really, but there are more than 30 add-ons, which is far better than what’s available at the drive-thru down the street. Perhaps most notable, Whopper Bar will also offer Miller and Coors family beers and will be open 24/7—meaning this BK lounge has some serious post-party potential.
Carnival lasts all year at the Rio. With a float occasionally passing overhead and dropping beads while feathered dancers fire up the gamblers below, the Rio tries to keep its 120,000-square foot casino jumping with excitement. Special Brazilian mixed-drinks are also served throughout the casino. The hotel suites tend to be larger than similar priced rooms on the Strip and many offer excellent views with floor to ceiling windows.
The Rio offers some quality shows like "Penn & Teller" and "Chippendales." Many come to the Rio for the nightlife at the VooDoo Lounge, located on the 51st floor, or McFadden's Irish Pub on the casino level.
Others come for a bit relaxation at the Rio Spa or pool area and still others come to shop at the hotel's 60,000 square feet of shops. In each of these endeavors, the Rio attempts to make the experience a bit more fun and spontaneous.
The Rio also offers guests a variety of dining choices from all-American food at the All-American Bar & Grille to Gaylord India Restaurant for something a little spicier and even Carnival World Buffet for the indecisive.
