About Rio

The Rio sits just west of the Strip, a short ride from the action and known for its all-suite rooms and the Masquerade Village. Its showrooms punch above their weight — the legendary Penn & Teller have headlined here for years, the New York import Comedy Cellar books rotating stand-ups, and a cheeky burlesque Star Wars parody rounds out the lineup. Free self-parking and a more laid-back vibe make it an easy off-Strip pick.

Getting There & Around

ADDRESS

3700 W Flamingo Rd — just west of the Strip, about a 5-minute ride from center Strip.

TRANSIT

It’s off the Strip, so rideshare or a taxi is easiest; some Caesars-affiliated shuttles serve the property.

PARKING & RIDESHARE

Free self-parking is a real perk versus the Strip; valet and rideshare drop at the main entrance.

Tips for Visiting

Free self-parking

Unlike most Strip resorts, the Rio offers free self-parking — easy if you’re driving in for a show.

Plan the ride

It’s a few minutes off the Strip — budget rideshare time on busy nights so you’re not late for curtain.

A Vegas institution

Penn & Teller have called the Rio home for decades — a true Vegas mainstay worth the short trip.

Make it the night

Since it’s off-Strip, plan dinner and your show here rather than hopping between resorts.
