Rio announces $35 million entertainment complex

The facility will feature a 102,000-square-foot showroom complex with a 1,500-seat, state-of-the-art theater. The showroom complex will be located adjacent to the Rio's new 110,000-square-foot entertainment and convention complex, which opens in March of 1999.

The showroom will have a stage adaptable to a wide range of entertainment, from one-person performances to full stage productions.

Rio became a subsidiary of Harrah's Entertainment Inc. earlier this month.

Harrah's Chairman Philip Satre said the Rio's showroom project would "take the entertainment offerings in Las Vegas to new levels."
