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.
